SUMMARY:DECLUTTER YOUR MIND to Live a Happier\, Healthier\, Less Stressful Life
DESCRIPTION:DECLUTTER YOUR MIND. \nThe benefits of decluttering your home and office have been proven time and time again. By getting rid of things that you no longer need\, you free up the physical space around you to provide better focus on what’s important. \nNow just imagine what would happen if you decluttered your mind. \nBy learning to slow the never-ending stream of thoughts in your mind you can free up the brain space to be present with the people and things that are truly important in your life.

Seriously. \nImagine waking up each morning feeling more rested. \nImagine that when you are stuck in a traffic jam you can remain calm. \nImagine being able to stop worrying about things all the time\, and watching your anxiety decrease. \nImagine watching all your relationships – from your kids or spouse to clients and coworkers – visibly improve. \nYou deserve to do this for yourself. And you owe it to the people closest to you to be showing up as the best version of yourself for them each day. \nI can’t wait to see you there! \n— \n6 sessions in total. \n7pm to 9:30pm Monday evenings beginning February 25th to April 15Th (inclusive\, with two weeks off) \n— \nABOUT THIS COURSE \nA combination of personal development and mindfulness-based exercises and techniques will be taught during this course.

SUMMARY:Thought Awareness: The Basis of Mindfulness
DESCRIPTION:“What consumes your mind\, controls your life.” \nLearn to take back control with Mindfulness Meditation. \nIntroduction to ‘Thought-Awareness’: the basis of all mindfulness. \nDid you know that the average human has 60\,000 thoughts each and every day? \nI’ve done the math\, and guess what?! \nThat’s almost one thought every second of your waking hours – exhausting\, right? \nBut here’s where it gets even crazier… \nOn average\, around 95% of those thoughts are repetitive\, and 80% are negative. \nWe are literally thinking negative thoughts on repeat like all freakin’ day! \nThese negative thoughts manifest in different ways including: \n\nNegative self-talk/judgement\nDwelling on the past\nWorrying about the future\n\nIn this workshop\, we’ll explore the foundations of Mindfulness & Mindfulness Meditation to see how you can regain control over your thoughts. We’ll look at the most common ‘mind traps’ and how we can get out from those traps. Turn those negative\, repetitive thoughts into positive ones. \nWe will engage in mindfulness exercises and meditations that you may bring with you into your daily life to assist you in noticing and regulating your thought patterns to help you create a calmer\, less-stressful and more positive life. \nRegistration is required: https://www.wakeuptowhatyouchoose.com/product-page/taking-back-control \nWaterdown\, ON
