What you will learn
In the course, you will learn skills that will allow you to “be your own best friend.” The foundation of these skills is observing what is happening in our minds and bodies, while cultivating attitudes of curiosity, openness, acceptance, and kindness toward what we observe.
Specifically, you will learn:
noticing how our mind automatically evaluates everything that happens, and how this evaluation – if we are not aware of it – influences our reactions
cultivate an attitude of kindness towards all aspects of your experience – sensory perceptions, thoughts, feelings and bodily sensations
become aware of our habitual patterns of thinking, emotional experience and reaction, recognize those that do not serve us well, and "let them go"
to react consciously the way we want, and not let "autopilot" take over
"allowing" ourselves to experience our emotions without being overwhelmed by them or identifying with them
recognize which activities energize us and which drain us, and maintain a balance between them
develop your generosity and cordiality
How will this work in practice:
Acquired skills will allow you to:
decide how to respond to what is happening in the wisest and kindest way possible to yourself and others
recover more quickly from the challenging situations that life inevitably brings
perceive the joy of being in the present and enjoy life in all its breadth and richness
be the "author of your life" and motivate yourself in a healthy way
to enjoy human belonging and reciprocity in relationships with others

REFERENCE
"I'm more attentive to myself and take more care of myself. Before, I was often in a state of permanent semi-irritation due to fatigue, but I wasn't even aware of it. Now I do a short 'Space for Breathing' during the day, where I replenish my energy so that the 'cup' doesn't just run empty."
"The MBSR course helped me stop, look around, and see the world around me and myself with different eyes.
It helped me better understand some aspects of my behavior and the reactions of others, and to deal with certain situations with greater ease and perspective. I definitely recommend it to everyone!"
Important notice:
The course is not recommended for people experiencing an acute phase of depression, anxiety or addiction.
The course is not psychotherapeutic, but educational.
It can be very supportive in conjunction with psychotherapy or psychological consultations. In this case, please discuss the suitability of the course with your psychologist (or other professional support).
