I feel very grateful to have had the opportunity to attend an 8 week Mindfulness course with Dave Austin. It came at a time in my life that I needed some extra guidance however I needed something that enhance my way of life around Protective Behaviours.
I can honestly say that Mindfulness has helped me to slow down and enjoy life without feeling guilty or feel the need to stress about things that I have no control over. I was a deep thinker and I would find it hard to switch off now I use mindfulness to focus my mind on the world around me, noticing things that I once would have taken for granted and that includes those around me that I love dearly as well as letting go without feel any shame, guilt or blame at myself.
I attended the 8 week Mindfulness programme and was amazed at the transformation in my thinking. I have had experience of similar methodology but actually taking the time out of my week to focus on implementing the ideas really helped to calm my mind. What I wanted to get out of the programme was to stop the squirrels in my brain , my brain was switched on 24/7 and I would easily get distracted and lose focus at a critical time in starting my business . Mindfulness helped to slow things down for me so that I felt more in control of my thinking. I would highly recommend this programme to anyone who feel like they would like to take back control of their thinking!
