Webinar – First Steps for Giving Up Smoking Through Mindfulness
March 9, 2023 at 12:30 pm - 1:15 pm
Regular mindful practices like meditation or yoga can help us cultivate a sense of calmness but also clarity. This clarity facilitates better decision-making and serves as the basis for noticeable transformations in everyday life. Training in mindfulness increases attention and improves self-discipline and makes it possible to actively monitor thoughts, emotions and sensations without allowing them to develop into uncontrollable cravings.
In this introductory session, we will learn about :
- How to recognise cravings and let go of the sticky thoughts of cigarettes before they draw us in
- Mindfulness practices to help us become more resilient in the face of our addictive urges
- How we can be more compassionate and patient towards ourselves when we make the wrong choice and give in to our bad habits
