Day Six - “The Support Group” If you could start a support group specific to your mental illness what would it do, what activities, what purpose etc and what would you call it?
I would teach mindful based skills like Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach others with these mental conditions how to cope with their emotions. I would give them material to read up on when at home and have them create an “action plan” in the event they are not coping well. I would also give them exercises to practice at home, keeping the mindfulness present at all times.
I like the sound of that. I would also include a mindful walking session.
Great idea!
Id like the support group to include outdoor walks for mindfulness training. I believe exercise and not hiding are positive health practises.
