You may have many responsibilities and people who depend on you, but the most important person to look after is yourself. Remember to practice self-care.

Some of the things that Mindspace staff do for self-care is spending time with family, reading, journalling, going for dog walks and being in nature.

Discovering Mindfulness 🧘
📅 Monday 4th May
⏰ 10:30AM - 12PM

There is more than one way to practice mindfulness, but the goal of any mindfulness technique is to achieve a state of alert, focused relaxation by deliberately paying attention to thoughts and sensations without judgment. This allows the mind to refocus on the present moment.

Across 4 weekly sessions, we will cover mindfulness techniques including meditation, body sensations, sensory, emotions, and urge surfing, accompanied by open discussion and a healthy challenging approach to this topic.

Here's this week's Friday reminder.

It's important to acknowledge and express your feelings. It's also important to know that all feelings will pass.

Our feelings are part of us but they are not all of us. Our feelings don't define us.
