Enjoyathon  Savouring Small Moments


WHY?
Coz the negativity bias is ever hot on your heels.
That voice that shouts No You Can’t and Work Harder or It’s Dangerous.
An evolutionary adaption gone awol.

That’s why we miss the small delightful moments again and again.
Lost on autopilot. On racing to keep up. Ruled by our own To Do list.

Slavery! Let’s scrap that!
​
Flip the script by doing the thing the negativity bias cancels: looking out for the small, good bits, drinking them in, feeling them land.
​
Transformational.

INVITATION:​
​
​Be one of a small, exclusive group dedicating six weeks to notice the ordinary good moments, usually overlooked.

​Dump the negativity bias before it dumps you!!

Skillful leadership from mindfulness fiend Shakti Burke, trained in positive neuroplasticity. Or you can try this on your own... good luck with that! 

​Starts Wednesday 26th June 6pm
Investment: $198.
​early bird $159 expires 12th June

​* includes meditation
​

In any case ...
​

Wellbeing gets shattered by the pressures of everyday.
The tedious bits, the annoying bits. Too much noise. Too little sleep. Deadlines. Traffic. Social media. Two sad drops left in the milk carton when you finally get to the fridge.
 
Too little just-me time (aka, rebuild time).

Too little just-BE time (ahhhh ..).
Kinda in a trance. Not actually there. Here.
 
Where, then? Not-here, lost!

Let's flick the switch and look out for the small, good moments life delivers on a regular basis.

Micro moments packed with goodness. Usually overlooked. Coz we're running on autopilot. Or have rushed on to the Next Thing.
While all along, happiness is just a flash away. 
Hidden in plain sight. 
​
​I invite you to spend six weeks focussing on the small, satisfying moments
that come all the time ​and see what happens!

Previous course participants say:
​

Hang on a minute ...

Is it okay to prioritise my own personal happiness?


You might be thinking, isn't it selfish to be thinking about my own happiness with
​abominable things like Gaza happening?
I hear you. We’re watching a horrific impact on an entire
​society and feel the pain of being unable to help.

With recurring media images
and worsening news daily, there’s no respite from the intensity. 
​Our response risks turning into ‘empathic distress’, where our own distress becomes an additional load, on top of the terrible external situation. ​
It affects our physical and mental health and our relationships.

Let’s not allow the aggressors to have that win too!

The standard mindfulness solutions suggest breathing and meditation … hmm, maybe.

​But how do we switch off from the conflict? And do we want to?

Savouring has a distinct role ...

Internal stories

It brings us into the present,
which can't co-exist with the
stories in our head.

An Antidote

Prioritising small, uplifting, immediate experiences is
​THE IDEAL ANTIDOTE to being swamped by bad feelings.

Sane, effective

Bad feeling don't help.
They hinder; they prevent our
​clear, sane effective response.

Why join a course?

 If you leave it up to you, it probably won't happen.
​Habit is strong-strong-strong, hard to break.

Firstly

The inbuilt autopilot function of the human brain works against you.

Secondly

Committing to a course of action gets the ball rolling.

Thirdly

Working in a group means we hold each other accountable, share triumphs and setbacks.
Extras this round:

~ Savouring and sharing. How to share the spoils. The benefits of not squandering the good vibes solely for yourself.


~ It’s important to know how to savour without clinging and grasping to the good things.


~ And in these challenging times it’s important understand empathic distress and how savour-and-share can help.

There'll be a meditation session with each weekly meeting.
That being said, SAVOURING IS A GREAT WAY TO
​GIVE MIND & EMOTIONS A LIFT, EVEN WITHOUT MEDITATING.

​HERE’S THE THING
 

​As humans, we're stuck with a negativity bias, and can’t help but:     

  • Get caught in fears and worries ... while ignoring good facts.
  • Over-focus on slights and stuff-ups.
  • Dwell on unpleasant things long past their expiry-date.


We feel the sting of a rebuke more powerfully than the uplift of praise.

Respond more strongly to negative events than to equally positive ones.

 
It's not your fault!
​
 
“Taking in the good is not about putting a happy shiny face on everything, nor is it about turning away from the hard things in life. It's about nourishing well-being, contentment, and peace inside that are refuges you can always come from and return to.”
