Practical methods for handling Bad Stress and Good Stress on-the-go and during quiet moments. We'll explore a variety of methods including guided imagery, meditation, passive muscle relaxation, biofeedback, and others. We'll also look at how our minds push us towards stress and away from relaxation. We'll discuss Cognitive Therapy, The Sedona Method, the Work of Byron Katie and more. Led by Gary Goodwin of The Inner Arts Center. Free (donations gratefully accepted).
We may want to get a project started or completed, or open ourselves up to do new things, or think bigger but our inner troublemakers crush that movement. Is your inner critic on your back? Indecision got you in turmoil? Self doubt have you questioning everything?
This half-day workshop will cover different types of trouble and show you how to use three highly effective methods to put you more in control of your life.
