Welcome to learning to care for yourself.
Life: contains adversity, illness, loss, aging and dying. But equally too laughter, preciousness, simplicity, connection and joy.
Stress: I offer evidence-based programs that support me, and to support you, to live with the stresses (and joys) of being a human.
Self-awareness: Welcome to you also, if your life path has led to a wish to change your way of living & working.
Mindfulness: can support us to suffer less, accepting the present- neither running from it or clinging to it .
Compassion: the mindfulness and caring inherent in compassion foster resilience, connectedness and action.
Kind Mind~Wise Heart: A strong mind without a kind heart struggles to be truly compassionate; a kind heart suffers without the wise mind to guide it.
Welcome to Kind Mind Ireland. I’m Hilary Smyth, I offer the information on the site freely & hope you’ll find it helpful, maybe inspiring.
