3. Having consulted Barbara and
the therapy team, as well as
other external sources, it was
advised that do not deliver
stand alone Mindfulness lessons
without the appropriate
training.
Therefore, should it be delivered
as activities through our usual
daily routines?
Some examples are:
4. Art activities e.g painting by numbers
Dot to dot
Speaking and listening
Sensory backgrounds and activities
Meditation techniques
Sewing and knitting
Animal care
Playing a musical instrument
Quiet time
Jigsaw Puzzles
Fishing
Walking somewhere scenic
5. ‘You are not your feelings, you
just have them’.
Teach to admit and feel and acknowledge
that all feelings are ok. They don’t have
to be expressed, it’s enough to feel and
pay friendly attention to how you are
feeling.
Whilst all feelings are ok not all
behaviour is. Whilst we can’t choose our
feelings we can choose how to express
them.
Anger can occur when we
• aren’t getting what we want.
• are getting what we don’t want
• are feeling hurt
