Deep Calm From Dawn Till Sleep
With Derek HillOver the next 4 days, you’ll explore 4 pivotal moments in your day that can shape your mood, emotional stability, stress levels and sense of calm. This course won’t ask you to overhaul your life or completely change your routine. Instead, you’ll learn how small mindful choices can help you respond more self-supportively to the ordinary pressures of daily life. Together we’ll explore how stress reactivity, hard-wired habits and the busy mind can pull us away from calm and stability. Through practical examples, supportive teaching and guided meditations, you’ll learn how to return to the body, breath and presence when you need it most. Each day includes a short but powerful practice to help you: Make your morning routine more grounding and supportive Use the STOP practice to interrupt cycles of stress and overthinking Allow the voice of self-compassion to rise above the inner critic Cultivate night-time gratitude to settle the mind and body before sleep This course is ideal if you: Want simple ways to choose calm during ordinary daily routines Feel pulled into stress reactivity, busyness or overthinking Would like practical guided meditations you can return to anytime Want to build healthier habits for calm, self-compassion and rest A gentle, practical course to help you find deeper calm from dawn till sleep.
