With Todd Schmenk

In this mindfulness exercise, Todd Schmenk will walk you through an exercise that will focus on noticing your thoughts, setting them aside, and then looking back at what came up in order to find a theme. Stick around until the end to learn an added benefit of doing this approach occasionally with your mindfulness practice.

Join Todd Schmenk as he walks through part two in a series of how to use a mindfulness exercise for pain. This is a guided practice which starts of with a simple grounding exercise then moves on to use a time tested technique that has worked for several situations including chronic pain, pain from cancer, and even with some dealing with an emotional pain.

Try this exercise when dealing with a difficult or painful experience. Lead by Todd Schmenk, this metaphor called "the sky and the weather" (originally designed by Russ Harris - link below) is a self-as-context exercise which strengthens both a connection to the observing mind as well as the defusion skill. Learning how to cultivate these ACT skills helps give you a little distance from the experience and allows for you to engage a little more easily in what matters in the moment. (Apologies on the audio - didn't realize the mic disconnected and so the video camera picked up environmental noise. Had some folks ask me for this, so I did not wish to delay) More about Russ Harris: https://www.actmindfully.com.au/about-russ/ You can find more topics, worksheets, and support materials here: https://www.wellnesstalks.org/ FOLLOW: https://twitter.com/tschmenk LIKE: https://www.facebook.com/beteampositive VIEW US: https://www.instagram.com/beteamposit... #mondaymorningmindfulness #toddschmenk #wellnesstalks
