MENTAL HEALTH MENTORSHIP > SWITCHING ON HEART-MIND INTELLIGENCE
Stress > Harnessing The Power Within: Finding my calling, I retired from professional boxing in 1997, working in alternative learning, in a pupil referral unit for young people with emotional and challenging behaviour for 17 years. Relating to these young people I was fascinated by human behaviour, observing the invisible force of stress and energy, and the many negative reactions. Using my own life experience and creating BoxWize in 1997, I was teaching young people to control, release and channel emotional stress and physical energy positively. Getting positive results and supporting great change, I was learning to see that stress is a powerful energy that can be harnessed within. Your struggles are your strengths and adversity can bring opportunity to grow, when you learn to keep moving through life, managing stress and going through the process, developing your ability to respond – responsiblity, emotional awareness and heart-mind intelligence, boosting your positive energy and focus for life.
Growing Up > Finding Your Way: Growing up we can experience the demands and expectations of school, the stress of finding your way, fitting in, feeling a sense of belonging. The experience of bullying, peer pressure and developing friendships. Self-identity and self-presentation, how we look, what we wear and not becoming self-absorbed by the ego, the world of want, materialism and expectations. Coming in to your teens, going through puberty and managing your hormones, the pressure of exams and getting results, finding purpose and a career through your education. Adopting a religion, faith or spiritual belief, a value system that can guide us through life. Then there’s financial stress, moving in to the world of employment, accessing a vehicle, having social life, building relationships, communication technology, phones and social media. The ability to leave your home, moving onto independent living with all the expenses, just many of the moving parts and stressors on life’s emotional roller coaster ride through life.
About Stress > Dealing with Your Thoughts, Feelings and Emotions = Process: Stress has become a greater part of everyday life and my perspective is, that stress is learning to deal with your thoughts, feelings and emotions, processing through your energy in motion, when we experience the demands, pressures, problems, issues, challenges and the many dynamics of life’s stress. Positive Stress: Taking on a mental task or a physical challenge, dealing with your fears, thoughts, feelings and emotions, when experiencing anxiety, a signal for change, you can go through the process, experiencing positive stress and a sense of achievement. Going through the difficult times and challenges of life, without process, stress can become negative, also taking onboard the negative stressors from people around us can be consuming.
Negative Stress: Dealing with negative stress, challenged by your thoughts, feelings and emotions, through experience you can learn to self-process or when sharing your problems or challenges and processing through your emotions, energy in motion with somebody you trust, you can turn negative stress into a positive outcome. Building Resilience and Character: Improving your emotional awareness and ability to respond, using heart-mind intelligence you can build the resilience and character to overcome life’s challenges, developing valuable skills for life.
StressWize In Today’s Technology Information Age: It’s important to become StressWize in today’s technology information age, with stress a greater part of our everyday lives, becoming aware of EMF’s, low energy electromagnetic frequencies, all around us, from phones, devices, wiFi and cell towers, to the negative influences around us in today’s world of consumerism, information overload, over stimulation and the many distractions and temptations.
The Power Of Influence > Information, Communication Technology: The world is moving faster and information communication technology has taken over, becoming a powerful influence and very addictive. Through mainstream and alternative media channels, social media and modern day Apps, it has become a challenge to discern what’s true, many of us can get stuck in our beliefs and perspectives, vulnerable to media programming and social conditioning, that can have a powerful influence on how we think, feel and see the world. Stuck on our phones, devices or glued to the big screen TV, we can get caught up and addicted to the over stimulation of technology, especially our children and youth, through violent video games, fear based reactive programming, movies glorifying crime and violence, alcohol and drug abuse. Gangster rap, aggressive music, abusive lyrics and sexualization, taken over by dysfunctional, reactive behaviour, lacking values, manners and a moral compass in today’s world. Contributing to emotional confusion, over thinking and the inability to process through the excessive information, stuck in a reactive mind loop and mindset, that can have a negative influence and powerful impact on our mental health, emotional and physical wellbeing.
NegaTology > InspireTology: Now we can see the negative influence of technology, I call NegaTology, in a time when we, our children and youth have access through InspireTology, to a powerful influence of positive role models, great teachers and leaders, inspiring athletes, coaches and mentors.
