Instructor’s Message about Become Mindful and Resilient Course.
Become Mindful and Resilient is a follow-up to the MLO 101: Intro to Mindful Life Optimization, Mindful Living, which set the foundation for regenerating our human lives and our planet.
Hello Friend,
In MLO 102, Become Mindful and Resilient course, we look at mental qualities that prevent us from reaching a joyful and interconnected life.
There are inner-obstacles that all of us humans deal with (clinging, aversion, restlessness, lethargy, and doubt) that are a part of our daily experience. Obstacles hinder us from having peaceful moments and drive us to make unwise choices that end in more harm and unhappiness.
Our programming is filled with these inner-obstacles. Knowing them and learning how to reduce them will improve resilience, wisdom, and peace.
As we guide you to decode aspects of your programming that are hindered by these inner-obstacles, you get to know yourselves in deeper more compassionate ways and relate with others with more understanding.
The good news is you can Mindfully Optimize all of your ineffective programming.
Ways Become Mindful and Resilient Can Transform Inner Obstacles to Wisdom and Clarity:
Manijeh’s teachings have helped increase accountability with myself, improve in habits/actions regarding our planet and increasingly become a better clinician. Her Life Optimization Method and approach exceed the training and education we’ve received to become therapists. It incorporates more depth into treatment regardless of diagnosis. It helps achieve a healthy happy lifestyle rather than just coping strategies/tools
