I started because of sleep issues. Mostly, being plagued by thoughts for (sometimes) hours before being able to drop off. Only to then wake up an hour or so later with more thoughts tumbling around like unwanted stinky fish. Now I focus on breathing, letting thoughts come and waving them goodbye as soon as I notice them. Now I manage an average of 6 and half hours sleep a night, and sometimes more.

Thank you for helping me slow down and to really enjoy the moment! Worry is but a thought, that we can choose to develop or ignore! It is indeed very powerful to embrace and put it into practice in our daily lives! I also really understand the benefits of breathing exercises!

I found the course invaluable as I can see the change in my life already. I tend to react somewhat hastily and then regret my words/actions and this course has helped me create more space for reflection. I think that mindfulness is a great practice to help us relate to others in a more accepting way whilst creating boundaries that help us to respect ourselves

I didn't expect a quick fix but I find the meditation and breathing exercises excellent and I will certainly continue to do them on a daily basis. My feeling at the end of them is almost transcendental. But as I have mentioned before the advice about treating distressing, unwelcome or disturbing thoughts as passing trains that you don't have to board but can just watch go by is something I will always remember. Thank you and best wishes.

The course has been a really useful introduction to mindfulness and has helped me embed it into everyday life. I was at the tail end of a very nasty clinical depression with acute anxiety when I enrolled and its definitely made a difference.

Mindfulness has been very useful to me. I had tried it before through mindfulness books but really struggled to keep at it. With this course I found it was much easier to incorporate into daily life. I have found this has helped me cope in times of stress and has also helped me appreciate the good times more as well, to simply be present.

Though apparently modelled along the same lines as 'Williams and Penmans' MINDFULNESS, your course has a different flavour to it that makes it an extra tool in the sanity box and therefore well worth the enrolment.

In short, the course has enabled me to cope with all manners of daily family and work life that were previously overwhelming me only a few weeks ago. A more senior promotion and additional work based degree level in work learning courses were looming, with the internal mental struggle to not see how my family life wouldn't be negatively affected by a more intense workload, and a massive feeling of self-doubt was building and shadowing me. Becoming far more mindful via the formal and informal moment by moment practices has now made me realise that all the important areas of life, work &-home, are possible when structured with a calm, focused mind, with a much greater awareness of what is truly actually critically important on a daily basis. 5 stars from me

This is a fantastic course! It really does help with dealing with thoughts and situations on a daily basis. You have to keep up with the practices to feel the benefit, but it really is worth it. Since doing this course I have been much happier and more relaxed within myself, and feel that I now have something that actually works to help cope with stress and bad days.

It was difficult as going though loss of a father, but it rightly says don't worry about feelings. Yes, stopped doing it, but went back and it got better.

This was a very useful introduction to being mindful and mindfulness practice. The exercises augmented the video learning chunks and I was able to put into practice regularly what I had been shown.

My experience with Be Mindful Online has helped me greatly on the depression side of things and my stress levels have reduced. But my anxiety levels have gone up because I am under a lot of strain.

I thought the course would be very useful for people who had never done anything like it before. However, I have many years experience of meditation practices so I found it very basic. On the whole though it was good to be reminded of things so I would not say it was a waste of time. I did think that it was slightly lacking on how to deal with the negatives that come up during meditation. Although this is a good thing it can be scary & unsettling for the inexperienced.
