6 Week Course

Welcome to the first week!

Just like any training programme, we’re going to start the course by building some strong foundations for you to work from – regardless of your starting point. Figuratively speaking, you will be climbing your own mount Everest and as such I will help you develop the skills for you to summit. 

In Week 1, I ask you to check important lifestyle factors that are often negated yet remain imperative to healing. As such I’ll teach you some important concepts about the mind-body relationship. We then start with some daily exercises that quite simply help you feel nicer and develop self mastery. This is because when stressed the tendency is to focus on the threats in your environment rather than the opportunities that surround you. Use these exercises to ‘reset you’ into the present moment safety and take control from day one.

Week two

This week focuses on your building courage, and strengthening mental capacity.. When we’re feeling tired or already stressed, our mind can exaggerate the possible outcome of something, leaving us feeling worse than we need to. The good news is you can actually restructure the way you evaluate situations and replace stress producing thoughts with stress reducing ones instead, keeping you calmer and more focussed at performing on whatever task you need to.

The exercises and concepts in weeks 1 and 2 become tools for you to employ within other more complex exercises found in weeks 3, 4, 5 and 6. 

It takes 6 weeks to form a new habit, the daily practice reminders are designed to foster competence as well as encourage you in your efforts. If the notifications annoy you, please turn them off.

Week three

It’s week three, and so far we’ve learnt some relaxation techniques and unpicked the way we use negative language, and feelings to judge situations. Now it’s time to go deeper! In this week’s training I’ll be asking you to think of an irritating situation you often find yourself in and would like to handle better – does anything immediately spring to mind? We’re going to revisit that moment, and learn why you feel, think, and act as you do. Then we will help you heal the old behavioural patterns that have led you to feeling stressed in the past. Week 3 is the start of a journey that can sometimes take a little time to travel, though once complete, it will be so worth it. Week 3’s tool is invaluable for making sense of, and being in control of life’s challenges.

Week four

Hello and welcome to the fourth week. I’m sure you’ve heard about a little practice called meditation? Well, I’d like to introduce you to a specific type of meditation this week – the Benson Technique, also known as the ‘Relaxation Response’. Dr Herbet Benson helped to demystify meditation by studying the physical effects on the body and finding that meditation was essentially the opposite to the body’s stressful ‘fight or flight’ response. His research showed that during meditation people’s heart rate, muscle tension and brain wave activity changed and after just a month these positive effects filtered into everyday life. So, a very handy tool to have up your sleeve!

This week also teaches you how to heal procrastination and reunite deeper dissociated selves.

Week five

This week we are introducing a new theme of acceptance. We touch on mindfulness. Sometimes we can mistake our thoughts for facts, when actually they’re just events in the mind that may, or may not, represent reality.  Once we learn that thoughts are just whisperings of the mind, and not anything happening to us in that moment, we can let them go in one ear and out the other, with minimal stress. Mindfulness is about accepting these thoughts for what they are and letting them pass over you, like waves.

Do you feel blocked from emotion yet surprisingly overly reactive? This week I teach you how to heal blocks to clear the way forward and be fully in tune with the present.

Did you know that your best teachers can be those that upset you? This week teaches you about brilliant team work.  Learn how to handle relationships differently and heal old wounds that really hurt and leave you feeling angry now. You will also learn how to disconnect from other people’s emotion that would otherwise upset you. Notice how your personal and professional relationships improve!

Week 6

The final technique we’ll learn is  all about distraction. Sometimes you need to be able to distract yourself to perform better.

Do you dread an event? We also practice handling an upcoming uncomfortable situation so you have a greater chance of sailing through!

Do you have any unwanted habits? Now that you know how to work with your subconscious state that predicts your present, you will finally be able to unpick those pesky habits that seem impossible to shift!

And lastly, now let’s set yourself a new goal using our special all encompassing approach so that you have the greatest chance of achieving your intention.
