Four skills for a stronger, happier, healthier mind.

Imagine you have a headache. You probably will take a paracetamol. The headache subsides. Great. But then it comes back. You now have to take 2 paracetamols for the headache to subside. But it comes back again.

At some point, it is best to start looking for the underlying reasons why the headache keeps coming back and then treat these underlying causes.

This is how MindStrength works. We don’t focus on the symptoms, like stress, trouble sleeping, anxiety, feeling depressed, feeling dissatisfied with life etc. etc. we focus on the underlying mechanisms of the symptoms. Yes, when you start our programme you will experience symptom relief and you will notice changes in how you feel, but you are doing something bigger than that.

You are building the four key skills that allow you to live a life with more ease, wellbeing and happiness. These are the skills of focus, awareness, appreciation and kindness. These four skills have been extensively researched and are all proven to be critical for our mental wellbeing and health. MindStrength brings them together in our unique approach.

Using different learning techniques for the best results

MindStrength uses different techniques that support learning. You might find that one technique resonates more with you than another. However, all of them are valuable, even if you do not naturally move towards them, it is worthwhile to try them all. The techniques are based on psychological models, like cognitive behavioural therapy and Mindfulness based Cognitive Therapy, ACT, Positive Psychology and others.

MindStrength focusses on intellectual and experiential learning and on learning through behavioural change. This trains and stimulates the brain and mind in different ways.

You are your own best researcher

MindStrength itself is not a scientific endeavour. At MindStrength we believe that you are your own best researcher and you can try out our different exercises and see how they resonate with you. In our own personal journey to live with more ease and wellbeing, we have found that all four elements have played a major role – but not all at the same time, or all of them all the time. It is a bit mix and match, which is why our library and weekly updates are also a mix of meditations, readings, audios, movement and mental exercises.

Also, you know best how you are doing and what helps you and what doesn’t – keeping in mind that the most challenging exercises can be the most helpful! MindStrength is not therapy, nor is it intended for people who are currently struggling with severe mental illnesses. If you are in doubt, you can contact us, and we can schedule a short chat to see what route is best for you.
