When you apply these 7 Mindfulness Training Lessons in your day-to-day teamwork, you will Do No Harm and Work As One. Every one of us has the right to experience the magic that can happen when teammates work together as one unified team. To claim that right, start right now by applying these lessons. They are for YOU and everyone, everywhere, forever. Do you desire a world...That you rule instead of one that rules you? Where you are powerful instead of helpless? In which you have no adversaries, only allies? Where you and your teammates consistently choose Reason over Ego? If you answered yes, these lessons will help you achieve your goals. They may be summed up in one sentence, with emphasis on three words: Right-Minded Teammates Accept, Forgive, and Adjust their thinking and work behavior. Mindfulness is your conscious ability to monitor your thoughts in the present. When you are mindful, you calmly acknowledge and accept your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, as well as those of others. Your calm mindfulness is the necessary condition for receiving a moment of Reason, which is a precursor for finding real teamwork solutions. Here are the 7 Lessons: 1. I am not upset about this difficult situation for the reason I think. 2. I Accept and own my part in this situation. 3. It's impossible that my thoughts about this situation are neutral. 4. I Forgive others and myself. 5. I will transform the effects of this difficult team situation. 6. I Adjust my thinking and behavior. 7. I see every difficult team situation as a learning opportunity. In every difficult situation, Right-Minded Teammates use these lessons to move them into a Right-Minded, "we are allies" way of thinking and behaving. In this book, you will learn how to use the lessons in a situation you know well: the Constantly Complaining Teammate (CCT). Once you understand how to apply these 7 Lessons with a CCT, you will know how to do the same in all your difficult situations. A Testimonial: Recently, I was reflecting on a challenging situation with a fellow entrepreneur (not my "team," per se, but within my circle of influence). As I was trying to figure out how I wanted to approach it, the first of the 7 Lessons of Right-Minded Thinking popped into my mind. "I am not upset about this difficult team situation for the reason I think," I told myself. Immediately I could see there was more to the situation than just the surface-level issue. No wonder it felt so heavy and complicated. Seeing as I'd already made progress, I figured I might as well apply the next few Mindfulness Lessons, too. As I did, I could feel myself relaxing, and, in just a few moments, I was able to see the situation completely differently. My inner resistance has dissipated, and therefore the issue has, too. I had no doubt your methodology was effective, but I didn't realize how immediately transformative it could be. Thank you and RMT for this personal breakthrough! Benefits: Your thoughts determine how you behave. Thoughts produce choices and behaviors, which transform you and your teammates into either collaborative allies or warring adversaries. If you dread working with others, you have placed yourself in a battleground. Battlegrounds are not necessary. The 7 lessons can help you rise above the battleground, transforming conflicts into solutions. These lessons have the power to transform any circumstance into a fantastic learning opportunity, making every day an exciting new adventure in your classroom of life. They will undoubtedly strengthen your ability to collaborate and make better team decisions. Use these 7 Mindfulness Lessons daily, and you rule the world you see. You maintain your power of response, frequently experience moments of Reason, and avoid unnecessary Ego attacks and battles. You guarantee you have no adversaries, only teammate allies.

A fully revised and updated second edition, including new research and skills in the areas of trauma and compassion Disruptive behavior in the classroom, poor academic performance, and out-of-control emotions: if you work with adolescents, you are well-aware of the challenges this age group presents, as well as how much time can be lost on your lessons while dealing with this behavior. What if there was a way to calm these students down and arm them with the mindfulness skills needed to really excel in school and life? Written by mindfulness expert and licensed clinical psychologist Patricia C. Broderick, Learning to Breathe is a secular program that tailors the teaching of mindfulness to the developmental needs of adolescents to help them understand their thoughts and feelings and manage distressing emotions. Students will be empowered by learning important mindfulness meditation skills that help them improve emotion regulation, reduce stress, improve overall performance, and, perhaps most importantly, develop their attention. Since its publication nearly a decade ago, the L2B program has transformed classrooms across the US, and has received praise from educators, parents, and mental health professionals alike. This fully revised and updated second edition offers the same powerful mindfulness interventions, and includes compelling new research and skills in the areas of trauma and compassion. The book integrates certain themes of mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn, into a program that is shorter, more accessible to students, and compatible with school curricula. This easy-to-use manual is designed to be used by teachers, but can also be used by any mental health provider teaching adolescents emotion regulation, stress reduction and mindfulness skills. The book is structured around six themes built upon the acronym BREATHE, and each theme has a core message: Body, Reflection, Emotions, Attention, Tenderness, and Healthy Mind Habits, and Empowerment. Along with The Learning to Breathe Student Workbook, this is the perfect tool for empowering students as they grapple with the psychological tasks of adolescence.

"Perhaps our real work, whether offering or seeking care, is to recognize that the healing relationship--the field upon which patient and practitioner meet--is, to use the words of the mythologist Joseph Campbell, a 'self-mirroring mystery'--the embodiment of a singular human activity that raises essential questions about self, other, and what it means to heal thy self." --Saki Santorelli Today we are experiencing extraordinary technological advances in the diagnosis and treatment of illness while at the same time learning to take more responsibility for our own health and well-being. In this book, Saki Santorelli, director of the nationally acclaimed Stress Reduction Clinic, explores the ancient roots of medicine, and shows us how to introduce mindfulness into the crucible of the healing relationship, so that both patients and caregivers begin to acknowledge that we are all wounded and we are all whole. His approach revolutionizes the dynamics of the patient/practitioner relationship. In describing the classes at the clinic and the transformation that takes place in this alchemical process, he offers insights and effective methods for cultivating mindfulness in our everyday lives. As he reveals the inner landscape of his own life as a health care professional and we join him and those with whom he works on this journey of human suffering and courage, we become aware of and honor what is darkest and brightest within each one of us.

The life-changing international bestseller reveals a set of simple yet powerful mindfulness practices that you can incorporate into daily life to help break the cycle of anxiety, stress, unhappiness, and exhaustion. Mindfulness promotes the kind of happiness and peace that gets into your bones. It seeps into everything you do and helps you meet the worst that life throws at you with new courage. Based on Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), the book revolves around a straightforward form of mindfulness meditation which takes just a few minutes a day for the full benefits to be revealed. MBCT has been clinically proven to be at least as effective as drugs for depression and is widely recommended by US physicians and the UK's National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence—in other words, it works. More importantly it also works for people who are not depressed but who are struggling to keep up with the constant demands of the modern world. MBCT was developed by the book's author, Oxford professor Mark Williams, and his colleagues at the Universities of Cambridge and Toronto. By investing just 10 to 20 minutes each day, you can learn the simple mindfulness meditations at the heart of MBCT and fully reap their benefits. The book includes links to audio meditations to help guide you through the process. You'll be surprised by how quickly these techniques will have you enjoying life again.
