Putting skills and practices from this course into use has helped improve the quality of my connections with those around me, especially with my mother.

The 8-week mindfulness course unfolds positive challenges. I found that developing a practice habit in the early stages is not easy. With support from the teacher and classmates, the practice gradually became more natural.

One of the things I appreciate most about the Mindfulness for Life course is that the skills and knowledge are highly scientific yet still vẻy relevant, making them easy to apply in my daily life.

The practices help me become more aware when in nature. I also appreciate how the teacher creates a learning experience that is not only fun and safe but also warm and welcoming.

The Mindfulness for Life course helped me realize something extremely important: while constantly striving to care for my family, friends, and prioritizing work, I had forgotten to take care of myself.

I have gained some skills in recognizing and working with strong emotions, which allow me to be less overwhelmed by negative feelings. I hope my mother, friends, and others will have the opportunity to join the meaningful course.

I’ve learned to be more receptive and less judgmental toward the thoughts, ideas, or emotions within me. This is an essential skill for a doctor to take care of themselves in a high-pressure work environment to extend care and support to patients.
