Mindfulness the resource for resilience

In practice, mindful behavior requires being reflective and aware of oneself, one’s feelings, actions and reactions. For example, anger and the resulting stress can be recognized and resolved in good time. The question “what makes me angry, what triggers this condition” enables the solution and the search for alternatives. We recognize the positive from the negative, and learn to avert the negative effects by suppressing or acting out on others. Mindfulness lets us deal with a situation differently. At the same time, old ballast can be let go and space can be created for new things. This inner attitude enables personal development and promotes resilience and calmness.

Mindfulness is a natural skill that can be trained and strengthened through practice. The aim is to focus on the present, to take a non-judgmental look at yourself and your surroundings, and to gain clarity. A key factor in mastering mindfulness is knowing about your own personality, especially needs, emotions and limits. Self-knowledge leads to a more conscious handling of oneself, one’s own thoughts, inner attitudes and evaluations. Individual coaching may help to take a deeper look at one’s behaviour and patterns. Practising perception, breathing and centering exercises enable you to integrate mindfulness into everyday life.
