We're proud of everyone who's completed the Be Mindful program and achieved lasting life-changing results

Almost certainly life changing.

My mindfulness journey began all those months ago through my mental health practitioner Sean who has been amazing and he directed me to this program which has transformed my life. Each day now I try to do the Breathing exercises on my walk with my dog, and when I feel anxiety coming on I take a moment to calm myself down. I’m so grateful for this help. Thank you again Be Mindful.

Just please take the time to give time for this course. It may be or feel silly, irritating or pointless to some but it definitely works and is ongoing.

Hi have really enjoyed the course and enjoyed the step by step approach of the course. I have used Mindfulness since and would like to increase my practice and learn more.

I've enjoyed the course which I've learned a lot especially how to focus and enjoying something I like doing even if it's a small thing. The breathing techniques were useful as when I go into difficult situations it reminded me about the breathing techniques which helped a lot.

Very helpful - gentle and gradual.

I feel much calmer for having done this course. Stressful situations haven’t gone away but I feel more able to deal with them. Even just taking a few minutes out each day to just “be” has really helped.

Glad to have taken the course from Oliver Beer’s research. It has helped me manage my work stress. I feel more optimistic about managing daily stressors now.

This course jump-started my mindfulness journey.

Hard but worth sticking with

Thank you to the folks The Social Work Study and Be Mindful

I feel like a new person. My relationship with stress has changed. Thanks!

A great course. Very user friendly and a non threating and judgemental approach.

Brilliant, I am better able to cope with my work as a result. Think it will only get better as I become better at it myself. Thanks a lot!

The Be Mindful course helped me become aware of thoughts and emotions, both internally and externally. I was surprised by how much I did not notice going on around me. Grounding myself, using the mindful breathing exercises, has now become a part of my daily life. I feel more aware, less stress, and generally happier. I would like to thank Oliver Beer, The Ohio State University, for providing me with a place on the course. In a little as four weeks, my life has changed as a result of participating. This took perseverance and sacrifice. It was worth every minute. I would also like to thank the people at Be Mindful for creating the course.

Dear Tessa and Ed and Mindfulness Team, The Mindfulness course has given me many tools such as self assessment, deep breathing and and how to help become calm and reduce my own anxiety, it has enabled me to help myself. Tessa and Ed are very calm instructors and very positive, I feel less anxious than when I started the course and feel I am more able to deal with anxiety. Thank you all very much. From, Una Carroll

I would like to take the stress test again in about a month and in 2 months. I am in the process of organising my daughter's funeral , which takes place at the end of August. And at the present time, there is so much to do and so many questions to ask and sometimes the answers don't make sense. I will be glad when we have laid my daughter to rest and we can start the grieving process and try to move on with our lives as alot of what we are doing at the moment just seems overwhelming. Although I am grateful for what I learnt in this course, as without it I think I would be completely in the floor, and doubting my ability to cope with things, the stress tests have meant that not only have been re accessing my own stress levels of how I've been managing , but have been a useful tool , to look at how other family members have been coping aswell, and prehaps help flag up where they may need support or understanding.

I found the course very understanding of my personal condition - anxiety/depression. Is the course hard? Well, with said conditions even the smallest, simplest tasks, especially new things can be very hard. An understanding of this alone has made me feel a little better, knowing and recognising things when others do not is a very good medicine I find. Achieving goals, work targets, exams, life experiences etc all generate stress; this course is a goal - I found it difficult because of my condition but very soothing and the work at your own pace, hassle free approach was very helpful and I feel good for achieving it.

Thank you for the opportunity to participate in the mindfulness course. I was sceptical initially but had heard some positive feedback from colleagues in the past. Paying attention to myself and my breathing must be the hardest thing I have done for a long time. When this was first introduced to me I was unsure but you were right, practice enables more effective mindfulness going forward. I feel more calm, able to deal with daily issues and dead lines. I tend to stop and feel how I am feeling rather than carrying on regardless with no thought to how I am physically or emotionally. Thank you I hope to continue and improve my life, ability to improve my mindfulness and feel less stressed and anxious.
