Participants' Reflections After the Training:

"I think the course was a great intro to the concept and practice of mindfulness. I felt it fulfilled my expectations. Erin is a confident speaker and has a very calming voice suitable for this purpose (other colleagues also agreed with this!) She was very confident in her coaching (exercises) and delivery (lecture). Altogether, I think Erin is a great mindfulness coach. Would highly recommend her... "

"Useful not only for work, but also applicable to personal life."
"Thank you Erin for the lovely, peaceful evening. I feel so calm!"
"It has taught me to be more aware about myself and my surroundings. The exercises seemed manageable for a start."
"It makes me understand better the concept of mindfulness and a few activities which I could practice in my daily life. It makes me think I should slow my pace at times and learn to take time to appreciate the things, food or people around me too."
"It was a pleasure to be in your presence, to be listening to you. Thank you for your gift!"
"Well structured, with practical examples; useful teaching aids and tools for a company."
"I find this session very peaceful as the trainer goes through the simple activities to let us experience our body movements slowly and feelings towards the movements. I really enjoyed as I find calmness and have "me-time" too."
"The training reminded me to pause, take better control of my emotions, and be present."

"Thank you so much for this meaningful workshop! It's time for us to calm ourselves down and look into our own minds. I did enjoy the class and took away something!"
"The breathing techniques were amazing. I felt a sense of calmness and relaxation I never felt."
"Thank you for making this session contextual for the teachers."

"The session allowed me to take my mind off work and reflect on which direction I would like my life to go towards. It was refreshing for my well-being."
"Thank you for sharing mindful awareness! It is so useful!"
"Being in a state of awareness can be uncomfortable and awkward at first. But recognizing the implications of what being mindful brings about is beneficial."
"在日常生活中难免有什么事让我们避免不了发火，因而成为悲剧，有时慢下脚步，思考当下或许很多事情都能解决，好像关于讲师刚提到的报仇，我们应该要如何去控制好自己的情绪、思绪又或者是行动，但思考一下有怎么样的一个结果会发生，或许也就会打消掉原来的恶性念头，并思考如何适当处理问题。"
"记得老师在分享这里的时候，给出一张图 “过去-当下-未来”。是的，这些都是每个人的生活状态，有些人一直生活在过去。好的或者不好的，都会在我们的脑海里，时不时回忆一下，但当回忆过后，现实（当下）的生活又提醒我们不得不继续往前走，我们会受各种大小环境影响、打扰，所以正念所倡导的活在当下很重要。"
"我学到了做事时要专心，但也要注意周围的事，免得发生意料不到的状况。当我们在专心做某样事情或思考某样事情时，偶尔分神不要紧，但要及时把思绪拉回来。此外，每个人都喜欢趋近愉悦的感受，但别上瘾，免得染上坏习惯。"
"经过这次学习，也能够帮助我提醒自己，在每一次行动之前，要开始用心观察，打断恶性循环。在工作中，要注意观察自己的思绪、身体、行为和情绪。"
"但通过两次课的学习和体验后，我发觉“正念” 是在教我如何用心去发现、体会和观察当下自己的心境与意念，并能及时自我做出调整。同时，正念课也教我无论是在生活或工作中遇到各种压力和负面情绪时，要怎样才能从繁杂的思绪中协调身心与平衡自己。"
"In the context of the workplace, our immediate responses to external stimuli, be it a challenging classroom situations or interactions with colleagues, can be tweaked and examined with the help of mindfulness. It can help us challenge our perceptions of ourselves and the situation, and consider different approaches without flying off the handle and upsetting ourselves and others. Mindfulness can help us remember the importance of compassion, which is vital for an educator and his classroom. "
"从这个课程我明白，我们不但要培养专注力，更要要培养灵活的专注力。既要回顾过去，也要展望未来，但更要活在当下，这才能有助于消除抑郁和焦虑等不良情绪。当不良情绪升起时，关注当下，定好锚，让自己的心静下来，观察自己，让自己三思而后行。长此以往，将培养个人积极的情绪和乐观的工作态度，这对做好教学工作将大有裨益。 "
"但正念的培养不是一蹴而就的，需要长期坚持练习，才能逐渐看到效果。我愿坚持练习下去。再次感谢总裁给我这个学习正念课程的机会！ "
"来到步行练习，随着老师的柔声细语，我边走边想，边想边走，大脑闪动着昨天，今天，明天。是的，每天可以思绪纷杂，但要有随时能检视自己情绪和心态的能力。可以天马行空，但能随时回到现实，学会了解自己的情绪，控制情绪，才能活在当下。远离焦虑和 躁郁，才能建立良好的人际关系，给自己和身边的人多一份和谐和舒宁，也才能更有工作效率。尤其是作为教师，更应该学会让自己保持理性平和，心态平衡，情绪平稳。"
"衷心感谢您这一次给我们准备了这一次特制的培训，让我更了解我自己内心的想法。也让我知道，我应该要如何慢慢地以正念去生活，以正念去工作。"
