Chris Holdship:
How did it go?
Week 5 sees all strategies being thoroughly enjoyed and effectively implemented into the client’s lifestyle after nearly two months of routine.
How did you feel?
How was the client feeling? Client feedback.
Week 5 demonstrates the positive benefits of a regular routine that does not have an overwhelming presence on the client’s life.
Chris: Some of the most comforting ways to start or end the day.
Was it successful? Why?
Life at work has begun to settle down and Chris is tasked with much less (stressful) occupational engagement. With more free time and not being slowed down by the draining presence of constant stress, Chris has found it easier to fully focus on the program and its final two weeks of progress. He is now excited for the results to show and deeply feels as though his mindfulness is gradually becoming better and more insightful.
What changes need to occur?
Whilst familiarity is a great way to allow for the client to feel more comfortable performing a routine and thus more enthusiastic to do it, variety is also key to encouraging effort. For the final week of the intervention, I will be changing activities around and possibly adding new ones to add excitement to an already well-known routine.
