Ponder these two perspectives….
It is snowing. I hate the snow. My day is ruined. I hate winter. This is going to be rough. I may as well hibernate in my house until spring. I feel … like giving up.
vs
Mindful noticing: It is snowing. The sky is blue and cloudless. The smoke from the chimneys goes up and veers left horizontally. The snow has footprints from people walking on the sidewalk and squirrels scampering.
Which are you? Which feels better?
Mindfulness-based therapy focuses on training your attention to the mindful noticing of what is happening right now without judging the goodness or badness of what is happening. Research has found training your perspective this way can help you feel more in control rather than be controlled by experiences.
I can help you develop a curious awareness of the present and you in that present. Gain clarity, expand your perspective, and shift how your experiences impact you. I am here for you.
