Course outline
Participants complete a self-assessment questionnaire that they return to at the end of the day when building their personal plan.
An object-focusing exercise introduces what mindfulness feels like in practice, followed by discussion of curiosity and rediscovering everyday things.
Covers multitasking (with a practical experiment), autopilot mode and attention deficit trait.
Exercises on self-acceptance, non-judgemental observation and letting go, closing with a recap of what mindfulness entails.
A guided breathing meditation, stress management discussion, and mindful handling of internal and external distractions.
The stress-performance curve and state of flow, then an untying-knots exercise on overcoming avoidance one small step at a time.
Mindful attention switching, a mindful eating exercise on appreciating small things, and the energy ball exercise on detachment.
Active listening practice and a full body scan linking mindfulness to physical and mental health.
Participants revisit their questionnaire and build their own mindfulness PDP from the template, with tips for daily practice.
