I learned that I have a lot of emotions, but I am not my emotions. They are only a fleeting thing, that I can choose how I wish to react.

It's easier than I thought to start a mindfulness routine

This was a welcome change to my daily life at work

Before mindfulness, I used to spend a lot of time worrying about problems and taking no action. The focused attention and PICBO exersices allowed me to notice this behavior and ...

This course was effective because of the facilitator's communication skills and teaching ability

Wow. I am able to connect with others more easily and now have more mastery over my emotions

The facilitator had a unique ability to quietly control the room and create an open and safe space for sharing ideas and being vulnerable

The "connecting" session really stood out to me because it's rare we are "forced" to sit and stare into the eyes of someone else, let alone interact with someone for an interrup...

I realized that when I calm my mind I can take in a lot more information than I ever thought possible.

It's definitely helped my communication with the people I work with most closely

I just feel like there is more open and honest communication with my coworkers

Having such widespread participation across teams in the organization, including management, really helps everyone collaborate better and be more understanding of one another.

It's hard to put into words or describe it how much insight and how much things you are going to learn about yourself. More importantly the things that you are doing right now t...

With the people on my team that took the course I actually have a better relationship with them

My wife has been very pleased because I used to get home and my mind would be dealing with the problems at work. But now I'm actually able to transition and focus on my family.....

It's made me more patient, more empathetic, more easily able to see things through others eyes

I am a litte more more willing to address issues that are uncomfortable because I can now do so in a way that is not accusatory

This course has changed profoundly how I interact with my colleagues. I think especially because we are all taking it together.

This course has helped with my relationship with my wife because now I really listen to her rather than waiting for my turn to talk

My manager actually took the course and I think that's the greatest thing in the world because everyone can have conflict sometimes with their manager so it is nice for him to b...

It helps you kind of make better decisions, and I think those decisions led to better outcomes

It is an hour one a week, it is not a lot of time, and it can be a huge benefit to how you interact with your coworkers, your friends, and how you move through the world.

The hour long mindfulness class in the morning was the best part of the week for the past 8 weeks

I was churning a lot. I was being really ineffective… it was probably after the mindful email exercise where I realized, hmm, wait a second, you're spending a lot of your time b...

I'd say it's not as wacky as you think it is. When I first heard about mindfulness I thought "Oh my god, we are all going to sit around in a circle and hum together. I thought i...
