Course description
Training Expand your Mental Flexibility
Are you happy? Can you fully enjoy the good moments in life? Or do you feel overwhelmed by high expectations and an endless list of “shoulds” and “have to’s”? Do you feel insecure or gloomy and do you feel your life will only really begin once you’ve dealt with these issues? Or once you hand in your thesis, start dating (again) or find a better place to live?
Maybe trying to get rid of this ‘psychological pain’ even becomes the prime focus of your life; a struggle that takes up a lot of energy.
Take a look at this training course and learn how to expand your mental flexibility.
The training and the book 'A beginners guide to Mindfulness' are based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and mindfulness. The book includes mindfulness-exercises.
The vision of ACT is that acceptance opens the way to living with attention to, and from, your own values. Learning to notice, and be aware of, your experiences without judgement, is called mindfulness. This is a key requirement in the process. In ACT we use metaphors and exercises to learn ACT-techniques through experience.
You will learn how to have a kind and accepting attitude towards your feelings, thoughts and experiences, while at the same time taking meaningful action to live a satisfying life.
