June: Dealing with Difficult Emotions
June 2 - 23
Gain confidence to deal with challenging emotions like anxiety, fear, frustration, and depression. By understanding what precisely these mindsets are and how they function, we will be able to see where they come from internally. Once we understand this, we can learn how to adjust our thinking to more wisely and effectively work with these states of mind.
Weekly Topics:
June 2: Finding Joy and Beauty
June 9: Cultivating Integrity
June 16: Finding Contentment
June 23: Making Peace with People
June - July: Inner Strength, Resilience, and Optimism
June 30 - July 21
Learn simple meditations for inner strength and realistic optimism. Week by week, we will explore special ways of thinking that are accessible to everyone which will inspire, uplift, and fortify your mind. Our resilience and ability to navigate challenging times depends on a courageous, confident mind. We are not fixed, so even if we do not feel this way we can train in this courage and confidence.
This will be of great help to us and to the world around us. Everyone welcome!
