In this blog post Michelle tells us how mindfulness has helped her with the grief of losing both her parents. Michelle's story reminds us that mindfulness isn't about being perfect or strong all the time. It's about being present with whatever we're feeling and finding gentle ways forward, checking in with ourselves without judgment.

This is a short excerpt taken from the story of Emily Kenneally, interviewed by Tamsin Bishton. Emily shares her very personal journey with mindfulness and tells us how mindfulness supported and still supports her while living with ADHD.

You find Emily's story here: 🔗𝗵𝘁𝘁𝗽𝘀://𝘀𝘂𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘅𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗲.𝗻𝗵𝘀.𝘂𝗸/𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱/𝟭𝟬/𝟬𝟲/𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆-𝗸𝗲𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆-𝗺𝘆-𝗷𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆-𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵-𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀/

As with Emily, each of us can start practising mindfulness for a variety of reasons.
If you’re interested in learning mindfulness for yourself, then please join one of Sussex Mindfulness Centre’s taster sessions. They’re free and online.
Or try one of our courses, mostly online.
