How mentally wealthy are you? Why fifty50 coaching works to flex your mind muscle.

Until recently, mental health wealth was probably not a phrase many people were familiar with and being ‘mentally fit’ was possibly a state of mind taken for granted and neglected. Before the COVID-19 pandemic arrived, it was estimated that 1 in 2 people will receive a mental illness diagnosis before the age of 40. Since COVID-19 and life in lockdown, global mental health has dramatically declined. Yet, our minds are very much like muscles and, specialist mental training can build up resilience to stress and improve emotional wellbeing. We can all become mentally wealthy.

This is why at fifty50 we believe that coaching for mental wealth is fundamental for developing a strong and positive sense of wellbeing and happiness. We understand the neuroscience of neuroplasticity and how flexing your mind muscle is invaluable to you as an individual and to organisations looking to improve business performance. We appreciate the mental wealth value of having some you time whenever it is needed to top up your mental wealth supplies, staying productive, positive and mentally healthy.

What is mental fitness?

Mental fitness is defined by many as a positive state of wellbeing which positively effects how we feel, think and behave. The idea is that by creating healthy mental habits which become part of our daily lives, we can keep our brains and emotional health in optimum condition. Like physical fitness strengthens our bodies, mental fitness strengthens our minds. Bad mental health habits are replaced for positive ones so that we don’t feed those destructive negative thought patterns and behaviours which make us feel sad and anxious.

fifty50 coaching draws on many proven mental fitness techniques along with other coaching methods to promote positive mental health. You build the tools you need to slow down, reset and recharge your brain. We help you to identify your poor mental health triggers and we use coaching to help you strengthen your neural pathways so that you can easily build new positive habits and experience positive emotions more frequently. You will feel energised, optimistic and bounce back quicker.

From mental fitness to mental health wealth

Mental health wealth is an ideal state of wellbeing where individuals can draw on their internal resources to overcome hardship, challenge and uncertainty in a productive and healthy way. What’s more, becoming mental fit ultimately leads to mental health wealth. By coaching you to understand, develop and manage your own internal mental capabilities like; perspective, confidence, attention, presence and determination you will become more resourceful. Mentally wealthy individuals are more resilient, and experience increased overall wellbeing. They are able to manage relationships positively and engage productively in tasks. They have a healthy work/life balance maintaining and can cope with change and uncertainty.

Becoming mentally fit

Mental fitness comes in all different forms. A big part of developing your mental wealth is discovering the mental fitness strategies that work best for you. For example, this could be learning a relaxation technique like meditation, and using it to help regulate feelings and reduce stress. fifty50 coaching helps you to integrate your mental fitness techniques into daily life, so that you can recognise when you need to draw on your internal resources and when to recharge.
