Mid Course Reflection

This is a chance to reflect on and write about your experience of the course as you move forward. What are you noticing about the integration of mindfulness into your everyday life as you move deeper into this program?

Describe your experience with the practices. Is one easier or more difficult than another? Do you favor certain practices? Do you feel averse to others? If so, what does this aversion feel like in the body?

Are you able to make time to practice? How much? How is it to practice on a regular basis? Are you able to do so? If not, what barriers can you identify? Is there anything about your practice that you might need to change?

What, if anything, are you learning about stress reactivity and your ability to respond?

What, if anything, has been surprising to you?

What has been difficult for you and how are you working with and meeting this difficulty?
