Week 1: Introduction to Mindfulness

this week’s focus is mindfulness. it’s the foundation for a lot of other skills and helps you slow down and notice what’s happening before you react. This first time around I'm going to go through the whole module before moving on to distress tolerance, but after that I'll only repeat it for a week between each of the other modules.

Just to introduce the concept; if sitting still or being in your head is hard, try one of these short videos:

• can’t sit still
• thinking about my thoughts sucks
• mindfulness feels fake / pretentious

optional check-in:

• something you tried this week
• a pattern or connection you noticed
• any resource that helped

no pressure to share. take what’s useful.
