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/
November 8th is our last meditation retreat for the year - join us to explore intrinsic enjoyment in meditation!
The social experience of mindfulness in a class setting helps create a sense of purpose and accountability. It’s the perfect way to both learn and deepen your personal practice.
Relax completely & pick up some useful mindfulness skills with us before heading into this busy time of year.
