CREATING A LASTING CHANGE
SELF-PACED ONLINE COURSE | STARTS 7TH MARCH 2023
GOOD CHANGE THAT LASTS
Welcome to Mindfulness for a Better Life: a six-week course with Daria Rasmussen designed to help you understand and utilize the power of your thoughts to restructure your brain; giving you the opportunity to create lasting change and healthy habits.
Did you know that everything we do creates connections within the network of our brain? “What fires, wires” . . . the more we repeat something, the stronger that connection becomes.
These connections control our reactions and behaviors and can have a significant impact on our overall well-being.
Through mindfulness meditation, you can harness the power of your thoughts to create changes in the structure of your brain. This can lead to improved stress management, the ability to deal more skillfully with emotions and situations, improved well-being, creativity, and focus, as well as improved interpersonal relationships.
"I can only thank you Daria for being such an amazing teacher. You are an inspiration to me and I loved spending time with you each week. Thank you for sharing your kindness and wisdom. It's an honour to be your student!"
