Course Overview
Mental fitness is defined as ‘the modifiable capacity to utilize resources and skills to flexibly adapt to challenges or advantages enable thriving.’ (Robinson et al 2015). Or put simply mental fitness helps us come alive and lead flourishing lives in the way we imagined.
We now live in a VUCA world (volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous world). Therefore we need to build and strengthen our mental fitness (in the same way we do our physical fitness) in order to flourish and navigate our everchanging landscape. When we are mentally fit we know we can take the time to pause and deal with any situation that comes our way, allowing us to interact with the world in a different way.
This 2 hour Mental Fitness masterclass will introduce 4 specific areas
1)Strengths
