Lesson 2

Your Second Mindful Practice: Mouth

Learning to use your mouth to create a habit around positive affirmations can be life-changing. Saying something as simple as, "I can manage this" versus "I can't do this" will help your brain rewire how it thinks and processes. On Day 2, we will learn how to create GTPs - Go-To Phrases to help us connect with the power of affirming words. Learning to speak positive words of life over yourself is a powerful tool that you'll want to use every single day.

Lesson 3

Your Third Mindful Practice: Meditation & Mindfulness

Meditation and Mindfulness are lovely tools that connect us with our body, our breath, and being in the present moment. On day 3, we will experience the SSHTTS meditation, an original mindfulness practice created by Barbara Faison that helps you be present and tuned into your body and breath, using all of your senses. You will also spend time in silence to connect with the present moment even deeper.

It's impossible not to love Barbara's lessons. She has a joyous, uplifting voice that is infectious and makes the day better. I have always incorporated music, but movement has become difficult for me due to health. But the 'temper tantrum' was easy for me to adapt and made me laugh. I shall definitely add that to my remedial exercise programme. Thank you 🙏🏼

I love your enthusiam! It’s catching. Your voice is lovely -my only issue was the pace of the words. There’s much to absorb so I need to go a bit slower. Thank you
