Do you have clients struggling with worry, anxiety, and stress? Mindfulness is a proven antidote to address these emotionally centered issues. The Mindfulness Skills Workbook: Remedies for Worry, Anxiety & Stress will give you the tools needed to help your clients as they explore and develop mindfulness skills. This workbook has been designed as a practical tool for counselors, social workers, teachers, group leaders, therapists, and other helping professionals. Depending on the role of the professional using Mindfulness Skills Workbook: Remedies for Worry, Anxiety & Stress, the modules can be used either individually or as part of an integrated mindfulness curriculum. You may choose to use this program with clients who need to slow down, live more in the present moment, pay attention rather than live on autopilot, and accept life and others without being judgmental. This workbook includes everything you need to help your clients to develop mindfulness skills. Each chapter begins with discussion questions to encourage deeper self-reflection, followed by activity pages designed to teach specific mindfulness skills. The reproducible activities, exercises, and handouts in this workbook can be used with individual clients or with groups. The techniques used in the assessment tool and self-exploration activities are evidence-based and field-tested. Why Is Mindfulness Important?Although mindfulness is not automatic and does not occur spontaneously, it can be learned and practiced so that it can be accessed intentionally when needed. Some of the characteristics of mindfulness include non-judgmental awareness, paying attention on purpose, remaining non-judgmental, staying in the present, being non-reactive, and remaining openhearted and compassionate. Mindfulness has many benefits that can help to reduce the stress associated with daily hassles:* Increased acceptance - By not making evaluations, participants can accept the internal thoughts in their mind and see these messages as simple mental processes rather than pure truths.* Greater awareness - Participants will be able to experience expanded awareness and a clearer vision of the world and its processes.* Less intense reactions - Participants will be less inclined to react when experiencing the stress of daily hassles. Instead, they will develop an observer stance through which they are free from evaluation, attachment, and frustration.* Relaxed approach - Participants will learn to relax to be better able to cope with worry, anxiety, and stress related to daily hassles in life.* Calm demeanor - Participants develop a state of mind in which they are mentally and physically at peace. They will be prepared to deal more effectively with the daily worry, anxiety, and stress caused by everyday hassles. They will experience greater overall well-being.* Mental functioning - Participants will experience greater concentration, focus, and self-awareness that will promote greater personal and professional growth and development. Chapter Descriptions:The chapter titles and the activity page titles all ask questions to think about and respond to. They will help you lead a more mindful life. Chapter 1: Are You on Autopilot?This chapter will alert participants to wake-up calls, or reminders to not react immediately, but to come back to awareness so that they can be more mindful during daily activities. When daily hassles affect participants, mindfulness triggers will remind them to break out of âautopilotâ so they can be mindful, spontaneous, calm, and free. Chapter 2: Do You Live a Purposeful Life?This chapter will focus on participants developing awareness of their own body, thoughts, and sensations that arise from their experience. It will provide activities so that participants may learn to apply mindful awareness to all aspects of their bodily experience. Participants will be instructed to mindfully notice what they see, hear, taste, feel, and smell. They will be instructed on how to cultivate an open, curious, and gentle attitude of mindfulness towards what they sense and feel about the hassles occurring in their lives. Chapter 3: Do You Live in the Present Moment?This chapter will help participants choose to fully observe the events and feelings that are happening to their internal and external experiences right now. It will help participants let go of the need to continually focus on the past or the future and to bring their full awareness to each moment in time. Chapter 4: Do You Accept Others Without Judging?This chapter will stress that in a state of true mindfulness, participants will choose to refrain from making any judgments about their daily hassle experiences, no matter how | Mindfulness Skills Workbook by Ester R. a.
