I have been practising mindfulness for over a decade. I'm already qualified to teach it. I have taught it in schools, workplaces, in one to one sessions, in group workshops, I give talks about it and have even written books on it.
So it might seem strange that I should spend 88 hours taking a course designed for beginners to facilitate mindfulness. But here's the thing, we never know everything! Refreshing our learning and seeing the way others deliver similar content, improves our own practice.
Did I learn anything new? Yes, because every book I read or course I take shows me another perspective of the same subject which helps me to communicate ideas around the subject of mindfulness even more effectively. It was a good refresher and 'keep learning' is one of the 5 ways to wellbeing for a reason, it helps us stay curious about life, and gives us goals to aim for, which helps us to stay motivated. 😊
