Week 1 = Course Orientation and the First Step
“Learn to Slow Down in the Middle of Your Everyday Life”
Processing and letting go of emotions requires some time and energy. If your life is too full and busy, you won’t have neither the time to sense how you feel nor the chance to change that. You end up going for quick fixes that will only lead to more troubles and your negative emotions will end up accumulating inside you. How to fix this? Why it is so difficult for us to slow down? How to get started? The first step includes practical approaches for getting started and simple instructions for building the basis for emotional processing.

- Environment affects us. Everywhere.
