ABOUT THE WORKSHOP Happiness, Peace of mind, Friendship, Love, Parenting, Success, Prosperity… Objectives that we work on improving and perfecting, day after day. Unfortunately, what we learn during our youth and adulthood, does not necessarily lead to what we had planned in the first place. Life, seems to flow in ways that are not harmonious with our own personal objectives, which in time, leads to frustration, anger, self doubt, deception, anxiety, depression… only to name a few. We suddenly find ourselves in a whirlpool of negative emotions, being sucked in faster and faster, not being able to beat the current. The same happens to athletes during a competition, when they are not able to focus and be in a state of mindfulness and mental flow, during a competition. No matter how hard they have trained; no matter how much talent they have, they just can’t seem to perform the way they want to. What we are unaware of, is that the solution is within us, within our head; and when we know that the solution is with us, we most of time do not know how to engage it. Cognitive Behavioral Coaching, Mindfulness, Flow, sports Philosophy, Sports Coaching, Healthy dieting, Core strengthening and pilates or yoga,, provide together a 360 degree approach to transcending into one’s best.
