Week 3: From Reacting to Responding
Mindfulness practices can help us increase awareness and subsequently make more skillful choices in our everyday lives. Pausing and paying attention to an anchor can be a way to return to the present moment and come back into the body. When we are more present, we are often more aware and less reactive and can make decisions from a stronger, clearer place. The SOBER space is a practice that can extend this quality of mindfulness from formal sitting or lying down practice into the daily situations and challenges we encounter.
Integrating Practice:
Practice with sitting meditation recordings this week and note your experiences on the Daily Practice Tracking Sheet.
Begin integrating the SOBER space into your daily life. It is best to practice this in both day-to-day situations as well as in challenging situations. Make a note of your practice on the Daily Practice Tracking Sheet.
