“Do what you can with what you have, in the time you have, in the place you are.”- Nkosi Johnson
We all have an enormous inner capacity to cultivate resilience, insight, behavioral changes and deepening equanimity.
We don’t need to seek hidden caves or climb high peaks to gain more expansive perspectives on life and its inevitable ups and downs,
and we don't need to spend endless hours on meditation cushions separated from the very challenges that trip us up.
We can learn to meet life, on life’s terms, with compassion, presence of mind, deeper insight and skillful actions. We can do all of the
above by intentionally inclining our attention and actions towards deepening mindfulness in our everyday lives which essentially means that we learn to meet life as life shows up with increased grace, wisdom and skillful actions.
This popular and innovative series will combine mindfulness practices, yogic philosophy, modern psychology and behavioral science to help you build yourself an effective, user-friendly tool kit that you can utilize in your everyday life. You will be given assignments/home practices to do between sessions which will help you integrate the material into your mind, heart, actions and intentions.
This series is available for schools , businesses, and community groups and can be modified to meet your specific needs.

"We cannot solve problems with the same thinking we used to create them."- Albert Einstein
In this 4 session, highly focused, series you will work with one positive behavior that you wish-deep in your bones-to plant firmly into your daily life. You will be
given specific instructions, tools and practices that will help you move through four specific phases of establishing new patterns into your life that gain serious
traction.
Our inner patterning can feel like a behavioral and emotional straitjacket that keeps putting the squeeze on us despite our desires to escape its’ grasp.Often
how we think about the things that prevent us from moving forward contribute to the dynamic of becoming mired in procrastination and negative self talk.
This engaging and dynamic series will utilize tools from psychology, neuroscience, mindfulness-based interventions, behavioral sciences and good old
common sense. The atmosphere on the zoom will be warm and laser focused.
Registration/Questions: Contact: donnalynnsherman@gmail.com with “Want it. Do it” in the subject line.
Here's what will be happening:
You will define your clear, measurable heartfelt desire/goal.
You will be given concrete suggestions for incrementally designing your new pattern(s) that will both set the foundation for working towards your goal and
integrate it into your daily life.
You will excavate your habitual patterns of thinking that influence your actions/behaviors/emotional cascades and utilize tools from cognitive psychology to
redirect your thoughts and actions.
You will be given tools for working with setbacks and inertia.
We will work realistically understanding that human habit can be a formidable foe and we will be prepared to confront setbacks and road roadblocks with our
arsenal of psychological and behavior power tools!
