It would be great to add more interactive elements to the course Would like the appearance and style of the presenters to be more colourful

Thank you so much for helping me, step by step, through a very difficult and anxious time in my life. I have found the strategies really useful and they have changed my outlook on dealing with anxiety and made me more aware. I especially like the messages about being kind to yourself, not worrying if you miss a day and that your concentration might falter but that is OK because that is what the mind does.

I found this to be a supportive, well-paced course and it's very reassuring to know that I can continue to access the videos. I'll definitely do that as I find the activities calming and want to build them into daily life, no matter how demanding work is. I'm shifting to a better balance by setting aside time to look after myself.

I think I need to practice the exercises and breathing techniques and think of the end game rather than regret the short term results with stress as it is not normal times with a global Pandemic and personal issues such a loss of a close family member

Great course. I have been practising mindfulness with the Calm app for over a year but this has recalibrated me.

It has been an interesting journey, I must admit I think I could do with resitting week 4 of the course as I feel I didn't participate in the activities as much as id have liked to. This month has been very busy for me in terms of work as well, working 3 straight weeks at work (with longer hours at the weekends). Although I had this busy period, I still managed to make time for this course and it has given me a greater perspective on what I need to do to be more present in my day. That was the main reason I took the course, I can handle stress adequate and other obstacles daily life throws at me, but the main thing for me is actually the feeling of being more present as I do feel in auto pilot so much. I still end up in auto pilot now but I am growing a wider awareness of when this is happening and I have a greater understanding of what I can do to combat this as well as a stepping stone in coming out of it. There was one highlight for me in the past 4 weeks which has really given me the hope and motivation to practice mindfulness. It happened during week 3 of the course, I was on my daily drive to work to which driving is a big auto piloted habit of mine. I was going down this one road in particular when I started to have a feeling of wakefulness and full presence in that moment, this was actually unprompted as well which made it even more beautiful and to actually feel that sense of awareness and presence in the moment has made me want to experience this again! I hope I can better myself into being more present like in this particular moment.

So I joined the course to feel less anxious and stressed and to help low moods. I thought Tessa and Ed were great - I really like how the course was set out with videos making it more interesting. It definitely takes a lot of effort, and practice and patience. Things I never payed attention to before, I pay attention to now, and when I'm in a stressful situation I used to just react - now I count to 10 and don't react instantly. I also feel so much more present by concentrating in on what's here and now. I definitely feel less anxious and feel like I've got some tools to help me in my mindfulness journey going forwards. Great course, highly recommend. Thank you for doing this course.

This course gave me new tools to be more peaceful and relaxed. It helped me to be more aware about my body and breathing. I can recommend it. My stress level was lower after completing 4 weeks online course.

I hesitated to complete this testimonial because I feel that I am a long way yet from understanding what benefits I might derive from my mindfulness learning experience. However, I can say at this early stage that I have greatly appreciated doing this course, and do feel that it has been a good thing for me. I think it has already brought some degree of calmness into my daily life and I am fairly confident that I will derive more from the experience as time goes by. I look forward to mindfulness being part of the routine of my daily life. I heartily recommend it to anyone interested in exploring Mindfulness.

When I started the course I was a total wreck could not even do my daily things, but with the course it locked in my brain and I found it very helpful, I now feel that I am learning everyday to manage my stress and depression and panic attacks, every day is a new beginning and I feel much better. Thank you

I found the course calming and empowering. Mindfulness has given me skills to use every day in any situation. I'll continue to use and develop those skills because they bring me very positive results.

I liked this course. It has the "right" amount of information on the topic of mindfulness and practical exercises that are mostly easy to implement in everyday life.

I started this course with a complete open mind not sure what to expect. However I soon realized that I was given the tools to control and manage my anxiety which I will now use on a weekly basis. It made me more aware that my anxiety is totally triggered by my inner self sometimes for no reason at all. I highly recommend to anyone to follow this mindfulness path.
