Calming a Busy Mind
Sligo LEADER Partnership worked with John Graham, a transformational coach and speaker, to develop a series of 10 videos on ‘Calming a Busy Mind’.
By exploring your relationship with thoughts and emotions, using mindful and meditation practice, the sessions aim to help you to:
- Learn how to notice more peace and calm, no matter what’s happening in your life
- Let go of mind chatter
- Worry less
