November 28th Tara Cohen Happiness and Mindfulness
“Mindfulness helps me: - notice what I am feeling in my body, and allows me to pause and have more choice of responses; - get out of the stories I am creating in my head and realize that not everything I think is reality; - understand impermanence; nothing stays the same because change is constant; and - slow things down, be in the present, and feel grateful for this very moment (whatever it is).” Tara Cohen is a social worker and mindfulness instructor. She is deeply committed to supporting individuals in achieving their optimal quality of life, throughout their life journey. Her hope is to respond to the needs and suffering of individuals and families, as they walk their unique and collective paths through life.
