Learning and practicing Mindfulness

Have you ever felt emotionally distressed, “stuck” in life, lacked concentration and focus, or simply want to move towards a better future that is in line with your life values? Mindfulness may be the answer for you.

I would like to welcome you to this course and congratulate you for taking the first step to learning about Mindfulness. In this course, we will discuss all aspects of Mindfulness. I will take you through a journey of considering what Mindfulness is, why it is useful, and how Mindfulness helps us to step back from difficult thoughts and emotions. Simultaneously, we will learn about how Mindfulness can help you gain more control over your internal experiences, thoughts and emotions, improve your focus and concentration, improve your psychological wellbeing, and thus can help you move towards your life goals. We will also go through a formal Mindfulness Meditation practice as well as an informal exercise.

This course is useful for people who are students of psychology or mental health, people who want to self-develop, people who want to better manage emotional distress or achieve better psychological wellbeing. With this course, I hope that we can enter with an open mind, embracing loving kindness as well as holding a compassionate position so we can better understand our personal psychology and support ourselves to live better lives.
