Mindfulness – Comfort for Caregivers

Mindfulness – Bringing it all together

In week eight, we are going to review all that we have learned and share wisdom, compassion and encouragement for our individual and collective journeys with each other.

Choosing Self-Compassion Over Self-Judgment

In week seven, we are going to use everything we learned in the first six weeks and add some brand-new skills to look at “stuff” we have blocked so well that we don’t even know it’s there. We are going to use those skills to open those boxes or closets and clear them out.

Self Compassion By Seeing Things Through Fresh Eyes

In week six, we will explore self-compassion through the concept of looking at something as if we are seeing it for the very first time. What if a good person makes mistakes? A person who is bad in one situation is good in others? A situation has good and bad elements? What if we misread an intention? What if we judge someone based on one interaction where that person was having a really bad day outside of our interaction? When we start over with a clean slate, we think differently.

Using Mindful Skills to Become More Self-Compassionate

In week four, we will take the skills we have learned in the first three weeks and shift the focus to self-compassion: understanding our unconditional worth, and moving toward thoughts of ourselves that are gentle, supportive and understanding, especially when we make a mistake. This skill is something we can transfer to our children by practicing it in our own lives.
