Mindfulness: my blog of an 8 week programme

Post here if you are just starting out with your mindfulness practice. Mindfulness is a really difficult concept to get your head around at first, and it might be that you would benefit from some help from others.

Hi all

Although I have practice mindfulness "casually" for many years, I have never done a proper programme. Therefore I thought I would do the 8 week programme described in Mindfulness; a practical guide to finding peace in a frantic world by Mark Williams and Danny Penman. If you would like to follow my progress and my experiences I am blogging about it on my blog herehttp://howtomanageyourmind.blogspot.co.uk.

It sounds like you have begun to make some good progress already - although we know that progress is not the aim ;) Thanks for coming back and checking in with us.

Thank you so much for sharing :)
