Building
Skills & New Practices
“I have
definitely integrated nurturing activities into my life to a far
greater extent than I had before, and it doesn’t feel as much like a
chore. It energizes me and makes me feel better about my life, my work and myself.” C, age 42
“I have developed the confidence to express myself. Once you know what is really important to you, it
takes on its own authority and power. I am so much more
effective now in all my communications.” A, age 25
“In the short
time that I’ve been paying attention to these areas - listening,
empathy, taking an interest in people I interact with - I’ve felt that
I’ve made great strides in connecting with the people in my life and
work in new
ways.” M, age 38
Holistic
Approach
“Exercising
and recognizing how best to take care of myself are good for my
general well-being and help me focus and work on my goals.” N, age 24
“I’ve
noticed that my body often advertises an emotion before I
can intellectually identify it. Learning to do "body scans" has helped
me read my emotional state without over-thinking. I can make
decisions more confidently and avoid
lots of unnecessary frustration.” M, age 41
