The sessions have been sooo helpful. I find I am always more relaxed and calmer immediately after the session. But it’s not just a short-term effect – I don’t religiously try and practise mindfulness but a lot of what is said in the session often occurs to me and just acts as a reminder that I can’t do it all and actually I’m doing okay. I find myself mentioning bits of what I have picked up in conversations with friends – i.e. how we are hard wired to remember the one tiny negative thing in a host of positives and when out walking I deliberately try to appreciate the colours and sounds around me. The other thing I love about the session is the ‘live’ nature of them and the fact I am connecting with others.  I do sometimes listen to the headspace app. but do prefer being linked with others during Well-being Wednesday.
