When discomfort shows up, our instinct is often to make it go away. We distract ourselves, stay busy, try to fix the situation, reach for control, or react before we've had time to understand what is happening.
Drawing from his experience with recovery, mindfulness, and the ordinary practice of beginning again, Don explores what it means to stay present when life feels uncomfortable. Through personal stories, reflection, and practical exercises, participants learn to create a little more space between what they feel and what they do next.
Participants will explore common ways we avoid or react to discomfort; practice creating space between an uncomfortable experience and the response that follows; and develop simple, practical ways to return to the present when thoughts, emotions, or circumstances pull us away.
