The traditional SMART (Stress Management and Resiliency Training) program pulls on several disciplines, from neuroscience to evolutionary biology and psychology. It focuses on 3 main principles: awareness, attention and attitude. My MLVT (Mindful Living VT) SMART programs incorporate these principles and pulls on the power of mindfulness as the fundamental practice to improve attention, create balance and to build connection (the ABCs of mindfulness). From this foundation you discover your tools of resiliency and build practices into your daily life to manage stress, improve your overall health and well~being.
.."between the stimulus and the response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and freedom." Victor Frankl
Through my experience of teaching SMART programs to healthcare provides, residents and medical students, patients, teachers and yoga students, I have come up with several offerings to manage stress, build resiliency :
· SMART for Healthcare Providers, Medical Students and Residents.
· SMART at Work: for all working professionals.
· SMART Yoga : this program combines SMART with a physical yoga practice. This can be integrated into any of the other offerings.
· SMART Coaching: personal and group offerings. This is a custom program designed to meet the needs of the individual or group. Presented in a 6 week series.
· SMART for Patients: a program designed to empower patients in regards to their healthcare experience. More
