Meetings focus on learning both Mindfulness and Radical Acceptance, two things which can improve the quality of your everyday life.
Here are the Definitions.
Mindfulness is a state of active, open attention on the present. When you're mindful, you observe your thoughts and feelings from a distance, without judging them good or bad. Instead of letting your life pass you by, mindfulness means living in the moment and awakening to experience.
Radical Acceptance is the ability to completely accept a situation exactly as it is in the moment without trying to change it. The idea behind the concept is to help people learn to let go of trying to control, manipulate and/or direct the outcome of a situation or a relationship. By trying to control a situation, we create more stress and unhappiness for ourselves in the long run because we can only control ourselves. It’s hard to accept that we cannot control all circumstances and all relationships all the time and we keep trying despite the reality that we cannot.
We would like to meet a few times a week- Dates will be announced in the Charity/Support Group Section of the Event Guide or Join the Euphoria Group @ The Ethereal Realm. Feel free to bring your friends to the meeting while we watch a short video and have a brief discussion on how these skills can be used.
