Today there was a focus on mindfulness and compassion and, not least, training joy in the beautiful surroundings of the Multi-hall in the Department for Brain and Spinal Cord Injuries, as part of the working environment week.
Thanks to Dorte Olivarius Koustrup for a nice, inspiring and personal presentation that has given us techniques to work on and something to think about.
From self-critisicm to self-compassion
Mindfulness and self-compassion as a tool for stressreduction
We have a tendency to attack ourselves when we already are challenged. This workshop will put a light on how Mindfulness and Self-Compassion can show us alternative paths to follow in difficult and stressful situations.
The teacher will guide you through different self-compassion exercises incl. meditations. All in all, we will explore how helpful it can be to bring in mindfulness and self-compassion in various situations.

Thank you for an enriching afternoon last Friday!. You left us all calm, relaxed and well-adjusted after some good presentations and stress-relieving exercises. You are very present and authentic, which is contagious and makes you want to practice a little of what you can.

Det var en fantastisk rejse, vi var på i mine øjne. Du foldede temaerne vel ud, og med din både blide og empatiske måde og samtidig skarpe syn på mindfulness fik du deltagerne helt med. Du skabte et åbent og fortroligt rum, alle følte sig tilpasse i.

Gratitude workshop
Increase well-being and resilience by use of gratitude
Gratitude can be one of the greatest paths to greater well-being. It can be a real heart-opener and research shows that gratitude can give us more energy, increase the proportion of positive emotions, make us more open-minded and increase sleep at night, etc.
All in all, gratitude is the way to more well-being and to a life where the glass is full more often.

Letting go of stories about ourselves and others
- how thoughts can get in our way -
We often carry stories with us – about who we are, what others think of us, or how things should be. Some of these stories can be supportive, while others keep us stuck in past experiences, old patterns, and limitations. They may feel like truths, but in fact they are just thoughts that come and go. When we notice them and see how they affect us, we realize we have a choice: we don’t have to follow them. Simply recognizing, “This is a thought – not necessarily reality,” can bring lightness and a sense of space.
Letting go is not always about willpower. Sometimes we first need to give room. To allow difficult thoughts and feelings to be there, without pushing them away or judging ourselves for having them. This can be called letting be – a gentle willingness to meet ourselves as we are. From that openness, letting go can happen more naturally.
Letting go is therefore not about erasing our thoughts or suppressing our feelings, but about changing our relationship with them. Seeing them as waves that rise and fall. When we meet them with kindness, we give ourselves the chance to live a little more freely, a little more lightly, and with more friendliness – toward ourselves and others.
