Mindfulness at Work
Delegates are invited to attend a 1 hour introduction session to learn about the programme and then sign up voluntarily. This is followed by a 6 week programme of workshops, 1 hour per week with a personal commitment from delegates of between 10 – 15 minutes daily practice.
Week 1 – Focusing your attention
Week 2 – Observing the mind – body connection
Week 3 – It’s how you do it, not what you do
Week 4 – Relating differently to thoughts
Week 5 – Turning towards the difficult
Week 6 – Developing intention
Overall the intention of the course is to enable delegates to recognise their automatic pilot and habitual ways of reacting and behaving, develop the ability to stand back from their thoughts, bringing in conscious choice and potentially responding differently along with some understanding of how the brain works, increasing self-awareness and well-being
Personal Responsibility for Work Life Balance
This session looks at how your life is currently spread between different areas of focus and whether or not you have the balance that really makes you happy. During the session you will have an opportunity to work out what you need to stop doing, what you could you start doing and how will you make it happen.
You will also start to recognise how, through making more positive choices in order to create balance you will also reduce stress and fatigue for yourself. During the session you will complete your own wheel of life, identifying where changes need to be made. You will then work through a problem-solving worksheet to identify how those changes can be made and set SMART goals for achieving this change.
There will also be tips for prioritising your day along with general tips for keeping balance in your work and home life. By the end of this session you will:
-
Have a completed wheel of life
-
Have completed a problem-solving worksheet to address changes
-
Set SMART goals to achieve the desired change.
