What is Goal Setting and How to Do it Well
positivepsychology.com
Goal setting is the first step towards planning for the future, and play a fundamental role in the development of skills in various facets of life.Research shows developing self compassion skills helps us develop greater wellbeing and resilience, as well as helping us manage fear and anxiety better.
It's easy to treat ourselves harshly, even if it rarely helps.
Can we learn to treat ourselves with more compassion?
Start by taking the attitude of being on your own side.
Fortunately, even just 5 minutes of meditation can declutter the mind and help bring us into the present moment. Why not give it a try today? Set a timer and take a brief moment to be peaceful. 5 mins is a big step over 0 mins 🙂
Practising meditation with others can help our intentions to practice, and the quality of our practice. Sue holds regular guided meditation sessions in Brookfield, and you can find out more info on these sessions at www.bodyandmindflow.com.au/.
Starting in November, Sue will also be running sessions at Spring Hill, Core Pilates Brisbane, Friday afternoons at 3:30. Info and bookings at corepilates.com.au/services/workshops/
