About Course
Monash UniversityDescription
Learn mindfulness techniques to reduce stress and improve performance
Emphasizing the rhythm of modern life? Mindfulness may be the answer. Research shows that when you don’t pay attention to something, your brain goes into default mode, which leads to increased anxiety and poor communication. Mindfulness can help end this unproductive behavior. In this online course, you will learn how to incorporate mindfulness exercises into your life to reduce stress and improve your personal and professional life.

The problem of ‘unmindfulness’
It's amazing! The lecturer Dr Richard Chambers was a very talented teacher who inspired me to better deal with the anxiety caused by the pace of my life.
An incredible journey that has changed my life. I hope everyone has to attend this class. People can incorporate mindfulness practices into their lives to reduce stress and improve their personal and professional lives.
I like this course. I can learn more about relieving the stress in my life, and now I can see every problem situation from a new perspective. This class changed my mind in a different and better way.
I've been waiting for this course to be announced and am glad it has come. I'm feeling happy and eager to learn.
