Along with Kerry and Rob, I’m really looking forward be one of your catalysts to help you grow and flourish through change.
By way of you getting to know me, I will be writing and talking more about the things I am passionate about in helping awaken you to positive transformation in work and personal life, in ways you may never have imagined.
I thought I’d start by sharing more about Mind Chi.
Why Mind Chi?
As part of my accreditation, I was asked a fundamental question:
o What (in your own words) is the main aim of Mind Chi?
My response was………………..
‘To be the best ‘YOU’ you can possibly be, day in day out, through utilising your brain and mind as your inbuilt coach to develop resilience, peak performance and a joy for life.’
I find it warmly reassuring that with the benefit of practical hindsight having now physically coached people in Mind Chi that this statement still trips off my tongue because I profoundly know this is what Mind Chi can enable.
There is probably no element of change, personal development, or business improvement that I haven’t come across, however I firmly believe that we need to start with ourselves sine we are the primary driver for ANY dreams we have, for changes we choose to make, and it all starts with the brain and the mind!
Exploring the Brain
What is the difference between the brain and the mind?
The brain and mind work together seamlessly. The brain is the physical element of electrical and chemical functioning. The mind is the cognitive, perceptive and intellectual element in the mix.
The brain has always fascinated me by its sheer genius as a source of unlimited potential and power to transform ourselves. It is fact that our brains are a largely untapped resource for many people.
The following facts stand out for me:
o The brain generates about 50,000 thoughts per day and disturbingly, estimates are 70% are negative thoughts.
o Attention spans are getting shorter. (In 2000, average attention span was 12 seconds. Now it’s 8 seconds)
o Stress can change the size of your brain (and make it smaller)
o Consistent regular exercisers achieve far superior cognitive performance than those who are sedentary. In terms of long-term memory, reasoning, attention, problem-solving
And finally………..the killer question
o What have you found particularly enlightening about the brain?
And THE killer response:
The fact that we can literally program our brain by rewiring it through changing our thought patterns which is tangibly reflected in changes of habit.
All of these ‘golly gosh’ facts motivated me to spread the word about a totally inclusive approach to wellbeing across physical, mental, emotional and ‘spiritual’ dimensions utilising the brain as the powerhouse to achieve this using Mind Chi.
So, what IS Mind Chi?
It is simply engaging your mind energy (Chi) to support and enable you as opposed to sabotaging you! It is a daily 8 minute, 8 step routine to rewire the brain based on CBT, the science of happiness and psychology of wellbeing.
How can it help YOU?
1. I can help you use it as a daily practice to ensure your resilience and well-being, managing and preventing stress before it leads to burn out.
2. I can help you can use it to achieve a specific change goal. It can be applied to ANY business-related topic e.g., improving presentation skills or overcoming fear of numbers, through to any personal development skill e.g. to become fitter
I will help you to get to know yourself, regain control over your mind and support you to be your best self.
More to come from me over the weeks about Mind Chi, however I hope this has whetted your appetite to get to know me and your Chi better!
