Coaching Strategies to grow your Emotional Fitness

There is a lot of talk today about the state of humanity and our ability to function well in moving through each day. The people of the world have been through a lot and it doesn’t seem to be letting up any time soon. The mind is something we take for granted that it will always serve us, but this just isn’t the case. Without care, compassion and intentional actions to keep it healthy, our ability to be resilient and cope with our surroundings can disintegrate quickly. The mind and the heart are very closely connected when we speak of emotional fitness, and this is where coaching strategies can make a world of difference!

Emotional fitness is the idea that the mind needs regular training and exercise, just like the body, in order to stay mentally (mind) and emotionally (heart) strong. Having good emotional fitness means that we can better cope with handling our emotions, thoughts and feelings and our reactions to everyday situations. It’s unlikely you can do this alone, but good strong Coaching support can help propel you forward.

Japanese Psychology is one of the tools I use and is a natural approach to dealing with the many challenges we face as humans; anxiety, worry, stress, depression, relationship issues and more can plague us at any moment without warning. This can happen just about anywhere at any time; work, home and social. Coaching for individuals and training for larger groups can create cohesion and life satisfaction for all who attend.

There are 2 topics we use to help combat these topics naturally; “Morita Therapy” (the Psychology of Action and Attention) and “Naikan” (the study of Gratitude and Self Reflection). There is a third component called Kaizan, which helps achieve the other 2 and teaches that making small incremental changes and being consistent will always take you where you want to go. The ideologies are rooted in Japan’s Eastern philosophies of gentle movement forward, and have wonderful, effective application in our Western part of the world. It can help to restore your balance, your confidence, and your ability to walk through all aspects of your life in an effective, confident and hopeful manner.

In my studies of traditional Psychology, Positive Psychology, Strengths Psychology and Japanese Psychology I have created a blend of information, tools and actions that will empower you and change your life. All without psychoanalysis and deep therapy sessions; it’s light, informative, fun and most exciting… it’s life changing!

Positive Intelligence is another method of dealing with the challenges that come at us. The goal with Positive Intelligence is to understand that we all have internal saboteurs. They were developed in childhood as a protection and to help us navigate our world. That’s the positive side, the negative side is that as adults, they wreak havoc in our world. With this modality, we work to weaken the saboteur, to strengthen the sage (the good part of the brain) and to build your self-command (your ability to choices and direct your brain instead of falling victim to the activity of those saboteurs. This was life changing information for me and couples very nicely with the Japanese Psychology philosophy.
