Creating Your Life
Insight and Mindfulness practices can support the creating process and foster developmnent of creativity as a character strength. In this course, psychologists will use mindfulness skills to help recognize the heart’s deepest desires and hold the dissonance between those desires and current reality. Combined with the skill in recognizing opportunities for intervening in unfolding processes developed through mindfulness, it becomes possible to hold the dissonance between the two without taking preemptive action.
