What is the theory behind the worksheet?
This worksheet is based on a Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MCBT) approach, which combines methods from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and meditative techniques, in order to prevent relapse in recurrent depression (Manjaly & Iglesias, 2020).
How will the worksheet help
The following worksheet will help clients become more aware of the present moment, nonjudgmentally, to achieve a high level of mental well-being and help them work through several psychological problems (Kashefinishabouri et al., 2021).
How to use this worksheet
Mindfulness, a technique borrowed from Buddhist meditation, focuses on a state of nonjudgmental awareness of what is happening in the present moment, including awareness of one’s thoughts, feelings and sense, focusing on the here and now, while putting life’s noise, demands, and stressors in the background while you concentrate on the present moment (Hosey et al., 2018).
There are different activities you can do to become mindful. We selected a few of them. Follow the instructions as presented here and see if you notice a difference.
