Mindfulness-Based Therapy

Mindfulness is the process of purposely bringing your attention to experiences occurring in the present moment without judgment. You can develop mindfulness through coaching, therapy, the practice of meditation, and other powerful learned techniques.

Mindfulness involves acceptance, meaning that we pay attention to our thoughts and feelings without judging them—without believing, for instance, that there’s a “right” or “wrong” way to think or feel in a given moment.

I am a Certified Mindfulness Practitioner from The Academy of Modern Applied Psychology and have the skills and experience to facilitate your journey toward a more mindful and meaningful existence.

Mindfulness

Center Yourself

The importance of being social is emphasized in the modern world, but it is equally important to put aside a few moments of the day for peace and solitude. In a world where we are constantly connected to others through technology, taking a few minutes each day to allow the mind to settle can be incredibly beneficial. Within a more meditative altered state of mind, you are more likely to experience the creative inspiration or intuitive insight that comes from accessing more layers of your consciousness.

Center Yourself
  • Stop and smell the roses

  • Pause and contemplate

  • Taking a few moments of solitude

Meditate

Taking a few moments of solitude creates space in our day for meditation. Making inner space is particularly crucial at the start of the day because it will impact how you perform. Meditation prepares your mind for the challenges in your day ahead through a process of finding balance and clarity.

Move Your Body

Regular exercise leads to a range of health benefits, including improved mood and emotional well-being and more evident fitness benefits. You don’t need to be an elite athlete to make exercise part of your life. Studies have found that even walking and nonaerobic exercises, like strength, flexibility training, and yoga, can affect emotional well-being. Walking can be a meditation practice because it helps us develop a sense of mindfulness by maintaining open awareness. 

Connect with Nature

We are all part of the natural order, and maintaining contact with nature is vital for physical and emotional well-being. Within an urban environment, I often find walking or sitting in a park and observing my surroundings immensely useful. Connecting with nature is a grounding experience where your priorities come into more precise focus, and you achieve a state of higher creativity.

Be Compassionate Without Judgement

Approaching life “mindfully” involves approaching experiences with an open and non-judgmental mentality, which invariably leads to a kinder and more understanding outlook when dealing with others. We are all encoded with the inherent tendency to be compassionate and are indeed “born to be good.”

Mindfulness naturally facilitates caring for others by working to improve the lives of others. Living authentically enables you to experience a more fulfilling and vibrant life, enhanced by these acts of generosity.

Practice Gratitude

The practice of gratitude sharpens your attention to the good and the positive in your life, which will help you appreciate what you tend to take for granted. Gratitude cannot eliminate all the adverse events in our lives, despite the significant power of gratitude to improve our well-being and focus on the positive.

No matter how much you practice gratitude, you occasionally experience negative emotions like disappointment, guilt, vulnerability, and grief. When you suddenly lose a loved one, you cannot be grateful for your loss; however, gratitude can help you focus on the beautiful memories you shared with your loved ones and appreciate the past.
