The four thoughts that f..k you up
When you free your mind from the thoughts that f**k you up, you’ll never look at anything the same way again. Want to get started? Highly experienced psychotherapist Daniel Fryer can stop these thoughts from messing up your life using a simple, but effective model. This approach is especially helpful if you struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, anger or self-doubt. Or if you want to improve your relationships with family, colleagues and peers or, simply, yourself.
Mindfulness for wellbeing
In this session, you will learn how mindfulness - which is a way of focusing your attention on the present moment - can help your brain work better, manage stress, think clearer, and manage your mood. You'll find out how it can help you sleep better, feel healthier, and even deal with pain more effectively. Shamash guides you on how to start practising mindfulness - starting with just 10 seconds a day and slowly increasing over time.
