Emotional Fitness strategies, will help you blend the psychological, spiritual and practical to create a rich environment for mental wellness, internal motivation and purpose-driven living; leaving you feeling capable, confident and empowered to go through each day.
What is Emotional fitness?
It’s the idea that the mind needs regular training and exercise, just like the body, in order to stay healthy; having good emotional fitness means that you learn natural mental wellness techniques to build resilience and have a healthy mind.
Why is Emotional Fitness so Important?
When your mind is healthy, you are better able cope your emotions, thoughts and feelings; not to mention reactions to everyday situations. It’s difficult to do this alone but, good strong tools and coaching can help propel you forward.
The ultimate goal is to balance your mind, have tools at your finger tips and choose how you respond to stimulus in your environment, rather than ploughing forward, saying and doing things that later you wish you could take back.
So, what types modalities are used in this blended program?
Japanese Psychology
These are natural mental wellness techniques from the eastern culture that have quick and long lasting effects. This is a practice but will set your mind and your heart free to enjoy each and every day; the topics we focus on:
Attention; based on the premise that “what you pay attention to grows”. You can change your life with this one tool
Acceptance; what you fight against makes you sick. This is not about giving in or giving up, it’s about choosing where to spend your time and energy for the most personal benefit to you
Feeling vs Purpose Driven movements, how do you presently move in the world? Do you fall victim to how you feel? (I’ll go to the gym tomorrow)
Self Reflection helps you see the world as it is, instead of how you wish it were, and is best used to improve relationships
Productive Action; this is a game changer - altering everything in your brain and giving you a sense of purpose and accomplishment… this is a big part of mental wellness
Positive Psychology
Positive Psychology is not about seeing the world through rose coloured glasses, it’s about focusing on positive events and finding purpose in movements. When you focus on positive events, people and things in life, (ie. Happiness, Joy, Inspiration and Love) you move through the world differently by leaning on gratitude, compassion and forgiveness. When things are tough, we naturally lean towards fear, worry, anger and anxiety; Positive Psychology gives you another option.
Positive Intelligence
Every day you are faced with challenging situations, people and experiences; this can create negative actions and words that are not helpful (self judgement/self sabotage). Dr. Shirzad Chamine has studied these responses and, through research has discovered a way to change how this part you brain is wired. Buy understanding the internal saboteurs that negatively impact you and what your personal saboteurs are, you can learn how to limit their impact on your day-to-day life.
What will I learn?
How do develop self command so you guide your brain in how you speak, react and respond and not the other way around
Stop banging your head against the wall trying to control the things you have no control over. Controlling the controllables will reduce your stress and give your head a break!
How to work with your Attention so you don’t get caught up in worry about the past or the future (when nothing can be done about either of those in this moment) and stay in the hear and now where you actually have some say over how things unfold.
Radical Acceptance goes hand in hand with Attention, and together they will help you build your Super Power!
How to keep moving when you feel badly (anxiety, fear, worry, anger etc) through Productive Action and habit setting
Japanese Psychology; learn to move like water?
Morita Therapy teaches us to walk through life like water moves through the earth. Nothing stops it; going over, around and under obstacles but it keeps on moving. This fluidity is possible in our lives as well, we just need to learn how to achieve it.

Naikan
(means “looking inside”) is a meditation type practise of self-reflection and gratitude and has its origin in Buddhism.
