4 Weeks To Living Lighter

A holistic approach to health can seem overwhelming, I know. Especially when the way it currently looks for you is ANYTHING but tranquil.

• You spend way to much time every week trying to get it all perfect...your job, your relationships, your healthy lifestyle.
• You read a ton of self-help books, but you're just not seeing the results.
• You've tried everything from the Calm app to yoga, but you still feel really bogged down. 
• You're so focused on managing your stress that you're worried you'll never figure it out. Maybe waiting is the answer. Spoiler: it's not.
• You're not sure another workshop or wellness initiative can help you, but you're ready for REAL answers. You're tired of wasting time, money, and energy on methods that give you subpar results. 

Truth bomb: Your efforts thus far haven’t helped you feel more at ease. Maybe they've given you some great ideas or things you know you "should" do, but you still somehow backslide into old habits or complete overwhelm. You're starting to put it out of your mind because it feels like nothing will work. I know because I've worked with clients on the edge of giving up too.

But I’m excited to help!

The Winning Experience:

Because you know what happens when you finally learn how to be with your hardships, deal with them, and then let that sh*t go...

• You wake up EXCITED to seize the day because you have a set of tools to handle whatever comes your way like the badass, over-achieving, goddess that you are.
• You finally feel good in your skin because you're confident that you're doing what's best for your health.
• You have more energy now that you're not stressing about your stress.

Say hello to Room To Breathe.

A four-week, hands-on group coaching experience that will change the way you look at stress altogether.

Together let's discover how mindfulness can make drastically positive shifts in your physical and mental health.

Research has shown that more mindful people are generally happier and report less anxiety, symptoms of depression, anger, and worries. A higher degree of mindfulness is also associated with reduced stress and increased gratitude, hope, and vitality.

So if practicing mindfulness holds such powerful potential for our wellbeing, why aren't we all doing it every day?

The reason is that we often need more guidance and support than simply downloading an app. We need to better understand the underlying processes and research behind mindfulness.

This new program is designed to walk you through everything you need to fully understand mindfulness and experience the profound effects it can have on your life.

Through our work together, you will benefit from:

• One deep dive into a specific element of mindfulness per session
• Information and practice integrated with research and evidence
• Small, informal practices that help weave mindfulness into your daily routine
• An examination of mindfulness in the broader context of life and how we perceive things
• Understanding the foundation of psychological processes that mindfulness rests upon
• A detailed handbook with opportunities to deepen your practice
• The ability to ask me anything in a small group learning environment

This program is perfect for you if you…

• experience anxiety, stress, or trouble sleeping.
• want to live more mindfully and feel more alive and present.
• are curious about mindfulness and want to commit to developing a practice.
• have tried meditation or mindfulness before, and it didn't work out.
• want to know the nuts and bolts behind the practice and approach it in a science-based way.
• desire a healthier lifestyle. 

This program includes:

• Four live group sessions hosted through Google Meets
• Access to the meeting replay via the online classroom
• Workbook Resources (PDF & Audio Format) to help you deepen your understanding of each topic
• Access to the OGFG meditation library so you can experiment with different mindfulness-meditation techniques
• Voxer support beginning Thursday, August 25th and ending Thursday, September 29th*

Expert Insights

"When we commit ourselves to paying attention in an open way, without falling prey to our own likes and dislikes, opinions and prejudices, projections and expectations, new possibilities open up and we have a chance to free ourselves from the straitjacket of unconsciousness." - Jon Kabat-Zinn, founder of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction

"Learning about mindfulness taught me what equanimity means, and that's something I knew that I needed in my life. Now, I'm able to sit with my emotion and turn toward it, and accept it. I can see my emotion as a leaf that's gently floating down a stream past me. Knowing that my negative emotion will eventually pass allows me to embrace it without trying to resist what I'm experiencing." - Chris Boutte, started practicing mindfulness after being diagnosed with congestive heart failure

About Your Instructor

Hi! I'm Daniela Burkiewicz, the founder of Outlook Good, Feel Good Wellness Coaching, and I'm a certified wellness coach through the IAWP and have been a public educator for over a decade in Illinois with a Master's degree in English. This unique background enables me to analyze the complex, unique story of an individual's health obstacles as I help them go from running on empty to a more relaxed, healthy version of themselves.

As a holistic wellness coach, I care about the whole picture.

Maybe your doctor is telling you that you need to make x number of changes to your lifestyle, but then you're left scrambling to figure out how to make it work.

Or maybe you're proactively setting goals for yourself because you don't like the path you're headed down but find it challenging to stick to the promises you made yourself sometimes.

I've helped clients in both scenarios, and I'm all about guiding you through the sometimes overwhelming and often contradictory wellness world. I believe everyone deserves to live their healthiest life and that a healthy lifestyle doesn't have to be restrictive. Living a healthy lifestyle should feel good, not daunting.

In this program, we'll approach mindfulness in a way that addresses all of the common stumbling blocks, and you'll be free to share your specific concerns so we can troubleshoot them together.

Yes. Over 3,000 peer-reviewed research studies have validated the benefits of mindfulness, and I have made sure that everything in this program is underpinned by rigorous science and references.
