1. Develop awareness of personal triggers and habitual reactions, and learn ways to create a pause in this seemingly automatic process through mindfulness and present awareness.
2. Change our relationship to discomfort by learning to recognize challenging emotional and physical experiences and responding to them in skillful ways.
3. Foster a nonjudgmental, compassionate approach toward ourselves and our experiences.
4. Build a lifestyle that supports both mindfulness practice and health of body and spirit.
This is what I'm doing these days and not only is it working, but I like it.
