Description

This series will guide you to know yourself, accept yourself and be yourself in all situations. After 2020, many of us realized that we cannot take our mental health and wellbeing for granted. This series will guide you to know yourself, accept yourself and be yourself in all situations. This course is designed to be interactive and our goal is to create an emotionally and psychologically safe environment to support your individual growth. We will train skills in the following areas: emotional awareness, self-regulation, self-talk, optimal mindset, habit formation, recovery (self-care). Additionally, you will develop your "blueprint motto" to represent your life principles, purpose and vision. Participants will all receive a workbook as part of the course.
