Mental Health awareness - Be Amazing EVERYDAY with Mindsport.co.uk How to train for mental toughness..





Be Amazing EVERYDAY with Mindsport.co.uk

For me life is about achieving something in the time we have, now that for some might be to get a good job, get an education, start a family or buy a house, whilst for others it may be to learn to read, write or speak, others may want to win a world title or aspire to be rich and famous. Whatever the aim it is important to be able to do whatever you can to achieve this. That is what #MentalStrength is. The ability to put effort into achieving something no matter how tough it may seem, no matter how anxious, apprehensive or scared you may be. Showing faith, having confidence, remaining resilient and achieving whatever you set your mind to.

Along this journey to achieving whatever we deem as worthy of effort there are numerous things that can get on our way, obstacles, stressors, anxieties, fears, problems to overcome and with the right application of #MentalStrength you can overcome anything to achieve your target.

For Mindsport.co.uk #MentalStrength is achieved through 8 stages.


Stages which require attention and thought, devotion and discipline, but ultimately the reward is fulfillment in whatever you set your mind to.
A journey must start with a goal, a target, or an aspiration#GoalSetting is one of the most underutilized aspects of #MetalStrength training in the world.

With the correct application of mental, physical, technical or tactical elements goals can help tackle anxiety, fear, self-esteem/confidence and assist in motivation and help make a journey enjoyable. Mindsport.co.uk offers goal programmes based around #Anxiety #SelfConfidence #Fear #Discipline #DecisionMaking #AttentionAndConcentration and #ArousalRegulation With a well-planned programmed of goals you are able to have clear objectives, defined personal involvement and a measurable path to success. These things are essential when combating fear, anxiety or stress and refining discipline, confidence and attention.



In order to maintain any target or goal programme and actually achieve something with your life you must not only know what motivates you (why you are actually attempting a task) but be able to remain motivated and actively seek out ways to harness these motivations in whatever your target may be, whether it be reduce nerves, treat anxiety or conquer fear or low self-confidence.

Mindsport.co.uk works with groups or individuals to help them identify intrinsic or extrinsic motivations and learn how to engineer opportunities each day to actively utilize these motivations helping to avoid distraction, maintain focus and provide a more consistent thought pattern and hence behave towards achieving something in life.

Self-belief is a massive part of success in any field be it sport or work or social life. If you lack belief in yourself then anxiety flourishes, fear thrives and confidence diesMindsport.co.uk helps people develop self esteem using a variety of techniques, #RecogniseAndReorganise involves a process of #CognitiveRestructuring by teaching individuals how their brain identifies information, processes it and then creates a behavioral output, once you understand the how and the why it is much easier to see how you can make small cognitive adjustments to effect massive changes in the way you think and hence feel and behave. 

#KatoptrisSharpening is a process of seeing yourself in the best possible light, using #visualisation  and #self-talk techniques Mindsport.co.uk help clients to build their esteem in a similar way that Helen of Troy used her dagger (named Katoptris) to remain beautiful yet clinical in pursuit of their task. Mindsport.co.uk uses a technique called #MetronomicChunking which breaks down potential stressors into chunks which are then fashioned more positively in to bite sized confidence building components which enable the client to build a much more positive picture of a ‘normally’ not-so positive scenario.



Staying on the topic of #SelfConfidence - Mindsport.co.uk understands that without confidence in one’s ability individuals may well allow anxiety or fear or apprehension to see obstacles as threats rather than challenges, and as such avoid taking risks or chances that could mean the difference between goal success and failure

When you have low #self-confidence you are more likely to take failure as personal and lack the correct support to help you along your journey. Mindsport.co.uk use techniques such as #CognitiveBehaviouralManagement techniques, using positive images in videos o train the sensory areas of the brain to fixate upon positive thoughts as opposed to negative, thus allowing the individual to seek out opportunities rather than allowing fear or anxiety to control their moods or decisions. 

#MnemonicBlueprinting is a process of planning future thoughts using new positive feelings to influence potential behaviors, it helps people see opportunities over threats and reduces anxiety  or fear at their core.

#PhalanxFormation helps people build an effective and positive network of support around them which is invaluable in achieving anything in life, whilst we are born alone and ultimately die alone, the journey between those points requires the emotional, tangible, physical and technical support of those we surround ourselves with.

If #fear, #apprehension or #anxiety is directly affecting the successful completion or a task or goal then Mindsport.co.uk offer a range of techniques to help deal with fears, excessive nerves, performance anxiety, worries around expectations, performance, environmental or personal issues. 

#Acclimitisation is a process which involves mentally setting yourself in a stressful situation and gradually making it more and more real and controllable until you eventually are fulfilling the task with minimal stress or anxiety.

#SearchAndDestroy is a system which teaches people how to regulate their physiological and psychological arousal levels through processes of #ControlledBreathing #MuscularRelaxation #Visualisation #SelfTalk and physiological cues, this is useful when people require complete emotional control in order to complete a task or achieve a goal.

 #PschosomaticPerformanceAlignments is a technique which involves steadily building up control of mental and physical sensations to a crescendo where the individual feels in complete control and similarly the #5FingerPunch and #AlarmProgramming techniques seek to give the individual ways of managing fear or anxiety by both a process of exposure, acceptance and finally control. Anxiety or fear often has a detrimental impact on performance through attention control and video exercises are used to help train the sensory regions of the brain to respond effectively when under stress or experiencing fear or anxiety.



#DecisionMaking is often one of the biggest areas to suffer when feelings of #SelfDoubt #Fear or #Anxiety affect someone’s performance or goal attainment and Mindsport.co.uk look to address indecisiveness, choking under pressure and panic by using techniques such as#JudgeJuryAndExecutioner which focuses on examples that cause stress and tailoring thought patterns using convergent or divergent thought patterns to reach a quick and effective response to a stimuli. 

In addition exposure techniques such as #BurnTheBoats work well to force individuals to discover hidden strength by exposing themselves to novel situations which can be attributed to the root causes of fears or anxieties. 

Finally Mindsport.co.uk recognizes that it is essential to maintain #motivation through to the end of a process and by focusing on the #Greatness programme #anxiety or #fear can be rationalized and dispelled to ensure success is achieved. Then negative thinking challenged when evaluating success using an evaluative process to conclude and begin with building the next challenge or goal.
