Softening Inner Tension — Welcome & Week 1: Coming Back to Yourself

softening inner tenstion september 2026

Welcome to Softening Inner Tension: 30 Days of Mindfulness, Compassion & Emotional Ease.

In this opening Week 1 reflection, Deb shares the heart of the September practice and explores the idea of coming back to yourself before reacting. Throughout the month, we’ll gently work with frustration, irritability, overwhelm, emotional pressure, and difficult feelings through mindfulness, reflection, compassion, and simple everyday practices.

The month is inspired in part by the teachings of Thích Nhất Hạnh and his book Anger: Wisdom for Cooling the Flames, but you do not need to own or read the book to participate. Everything you need will be included in the free Peaceful Wellness Skool classroom.

Each day, you’ll find a short reflection, one question to consider, and one small practice designed to take only a few minutes. You can also join live meditation classes throughout the week, the free Tuesday Community Meditation connected with that week’s theme, and access recorded meditations through the meditation libraries.

To join the full Softening Inner Tension experience, come into the free Peaceful Wellness Skool community and look for the Softening Inner Tension: 30 Days classroom.

One day. One reflection. One small practice at a time.
