Mind Symmetry
Coaching & Mentoring
Reflective vs Reactive
Do you experience procrastination, hesitate to take action, or lack motivation? Do you find yourself doubting your abilities or questioning your self-worth? These feelings are not uncommon and often stem from our inherent cognitive patterns, which tend to be reactive, critical, and judgmental.
This inclination towards extreme perspectives is known as thought polarization or black-and-white thinking. However, there is also a reflective and inquisitive side to our minds that challenges these assumptions and seeks to explore alternative possibilities. While one part of our mind may amplify negative outcomes, another strives for a clearer and more balanced understanding of our experiences.
Mind Symmetry Technique addresses the core components of negative self-talk, encouraging introspection, exploring rather than suppressing reactive thoughts, uncovering their potential benefits in guiding us toward our goals and aspirations. This practice not only enhances self-awareness but also empowers us to transform our thought patterns, ultimately fostering a more constructive and optimistic mindset.

ABOUT
My passion is to merge mental wellness workshops with activities rooted in nature, which not only enhances cognitive function but also taps into the healing power of the natural world. This method fosters a comprehensive sense of well-being by blending physical engagement with reflective practices.
Workshops will utilise the Mind Symmetry technique, which incorporates a writing method that engages both hemispheres of the brain, often characterised by conflicting thought patterns. By employing this writing style, we can quickly address cognitive imbalances, fostering a more cohesive interaction between the left & right brain hemsiphere's, thereby sharpening clarity of thought and building resilience to face challenges effectively.
Nature-based activities such as weaving, woodcraft, crochet, and gardening further enhance the workshop experience. These group sessions create a supportive atmosphere for both introverted and extroverted participants, allowing for social interaction without the pressure to engage fully. This dynamic enables individuals to connect with others while comfortably embracing their introverted tendencies, alleviating feelings of isolation.

Human connections are deeply nurtured in the field of a shared story - Jean Houston

Are you finding it challenging to take decisive action or maintain your momentum? Do you face obstacles when it comes to making choices, prioritising tasks, or adhering to a daily routine? If you struggle to identify and articulate your own needs, you are not alone. Discover four straightforward steps to help you navigate these challenges, enhance your prioritisation skills, and cultivate self-assertiveness for more effective communication of your needs.
You have set a new goal, you experience a surge of motivation and maintain your dedication to this objective for several weeks or even months. Nevertheless, you eventually realise that your passion or enthusiasm has waned, leaving you uncertain about the cause of this loss of momentum. Explore the underlying reasons for this decrease in your drive?
An in-depth examination of the Mind Symmetry Technique reveals essential inquiries regarding our behaviours and motivations. It prompts us to reflect on the reasons behind our frequent fixation on negative thoughts and the root causes of this mental tendency. By examining these elements, we can identify effective strategies to redirect our attention and cultivate a more optimistic outlook, ultimately enhancing our overall well-being.

Mind Symmetry Technique focuses on ingrained thought patterns, which significantly influence our actions and behaviours. Often, we attempt to modify our behaviours without exploring the subconscious patterns that shape our thoughts. By increasing our awareness of these cognitive cycles, we create opportunities to address and alter the core patterns, leading to more profound and enduring changes.

Change the way you feel, by changing the way you think! - Christine Pedesky
