Take Back Control with a Mindfulness – Stress Reduction course!
If you feel overwhelmed, your response to every situation can be impulsive and emotional.
You may feel that you have lost control and sometimes struggle to cope with the demands placed on you.
A stress response (fight, flight, freeze) is a natural reaction to threatening situations. In times of trouble, it can help us to survive.
Mindfulness in Norwich City Centre: In 2024, I will be guiding an 8-week mindfulness-based stress reduction course. This is suitable for anyone who is experiencing mild/moderate anxiety, burnout or stress. For more information, please watch this space or contact me directly.
So, what’s the problem?
The difficulty is that, in a highly pressured society, full of uncertainty and change, the stress response can be constantly fired up.
How can we help ourselves?
There is a way to take back control!
Mindfulness teaches you how to recognise stress in yourself and others, enabling you to self-manage and self-regulate the body’s response.
The mindfulness-based course introduces you to practical ways of looking after your well-being and to manage your stress levels.
Benefits of the Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Course
Your commitment to this scientifically-researched 8-week course can bring multiple benefits including:

Invest in Yourself
If your life is one hectic schedule of tasks, it might feel impossible or selfish to allocate time to yourself.
Investing in yourself will help you and everyone around you.
Mindfulness can be used as a practical skill throughout daily life and can be particularly useful during challenging times.
Mindfulness training teaches you how to ‘be with’ and manage the noise and clutter of life and the mind.
Whilst you shift your focus inward, you will learn techniques to help calm your body and mind, making space for clarity of thought.
The training will help you become more aware of your thoughts, body sensations and feelings.
You will recognise habitual patterns that may have been useful to you in the past but are no longer of benefit.
It is time to invest in yourself, so you can regain a sense of control and a better understanding of who you are and what you need.
The 3 elements of the Mindfulness-based course
The Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction course includes 3 elements:
1. Mindfulness meditations
2. Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) exercises
3. Reflective discussions
In 2024, I am hoping to re-introduce my practical Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction (MBSR) courses in Norwich City Centre. Watch this space!
