Huge welcome to our inaugural edition of the Emotional Fitness Formula Insights magazine! This marks a significant milestone in our emotional fitness movement journey A journey from ambition to meaning

Our mission is to help navigate the inevitable uncertainties of life, business, and life in general, whilst living a meaningful and deeply fulfilling life.

Our five key focus areas of clarity of identity, having a thorough understanding of which life stage we are at, discovering and living loyal to our values, empowering ourselves with emotional flexibility and having a clean perspective we can lean on when life gets hard, is the essence of what it means to be emotionally fit and well.

We have an amazing array of accredited consultants from an incredible variety of backgrounds and skill sets, share with us their insights into the Emotional Fitness Formula Among dozens of articles, we have great insights on the role of uncertainty in treating addictions, how to gain clarity from chaos, and what you didn’t know about fear.

The health of our perspective directly influences our level of Emotional Fitness.

WITH A

Having a healthy perspective means that you are emotionally fit as you are not living a life drowned in drama and unresourceful behaviour. It means that you are living your life aware of your choices and using the power of perspective to influence your decisions, which affects your mindset.

SHIFT YOUR PERSPECTIVE FOR PROGRESS.

WHATYOUDIDN’T KNOWABOUTFEAR

By Laura Gutiérrez

“Quick!”, my friend said, “take my trousers, and my jacket You've been chosen to represent our group at the presentation”

“Wait, what???” I remember feeling that all my energy had gone to my feet and thinking to myself: “This is a joke! I can’t do this! I don’t know enough! Plus, I didn’t bring the right clothes, I don’t remember it all, nooo, I don’t want to do it!”

But there was little time, the teacher had drawn names out of a hat and what was going to be a group presentation was now a solo one and in English, my second language

Life is happening now, and it’s not about balance, it's about finding your uniquerecipe for fulfilment.

It is inevitable in life that we will be faced with uncertainties, ambiguities, and forks in the road.

We will face challenges in our relationships, career and life in general.

To successfully navigate through these challenges, we need to become emotional fit.

Becoming emotionally fit equips us with the resilience, strength and courage to face life’s obstacles.

Emotional fitness is vital to enjoying great relationships. The quality of our lives is determined by the quality of our experiences.

The ultimate amplifier of all experiences is the quality of our relationships.

This program is centred on 5 core principle focus areas: Identity, Life Stage, Values, Emotional Flexibility & Perspective.
