Inner Strength | 16 March | Morden & Kensington
In our daily lives, we can’t avoid problems and challenges but we can increase our capacity to recover from them quickly and to deal with them more effectively. Sometimes even small challenges can leave us feeling overwhelmed and depleted.
On this course we can learn practical methods that everyone can use that enable us to stay focused, centred and in control. Then we can meet the difficulties we encounter without the intense and often angry reactions that can arise. Instead of feeling in conflict with our daily challenges we can begin to meet them with a lighter, more positive and happier state of mind.
