Grounded In Goodness

With Courtney Johannesen

With the pressures of work, family responsibilities, and the constant stream of information from our digital devices accumulate, it's easy to feel overwhelmed and disconnected from ourselves. Many of us find ourselves constantly flooded with stress, anxiety, and negativity. The brain has a natural bias towards negativity and negative experiences tend to trigger stronger emotional responses. By intentionally focusing on positive experiences and finding a more balanced perspective, you can train your brain to be more stable and optimistic. Grounding your mind in goodness works to create inner stability by connecting your state of mind to what is good - essentially, redirecting your attention away from anxious or distressing thoughts and towards thoughts that are pleasant, comforting, and enjoyable. The more you can recognize positivity and appreciate the good, the more you can tap into moments of joy, connection, and fulfillment. This course offers you practical mindfulness-based grounding techniques to overcome stress, anxiety, and overwhelm. Learning and practicing self-regulation tools builds your emotional regulation toolkit, giving you coping strategies for managing difficult emotions. You’ll be prepared for stressful moments and better be able to ease your thoughts and emotions and feel more safe and connected, a powerful skill to counteract against stress, anxiety, and overwhelm. This course is intended for all levels of awareness and practice. The lessons and practices are designed as a mindful exploration of your mental and emotional patterns, but is not intended as therapy or treatment from a mental health professional.
