Mental Fitness Pilot Project

"September is the other January" -- Grechen Rubin

Message from Tamra: 

The beginning of the new Jewish year and the new acdemic year is a fantastic opportunity for focusing on personal growth. This new course is designed to help you feel less stressed and more optimistic, resilient and joyful -- something I think we could all do with after the challenges of the last couple of years!

I have recently supplemented my Tiny Habits certification with training as a "mental fitness" coach under the auspices of Shirzad Chamine, author of the New York Times best-selling book "Positive Intelligence", and I'm now ready to take my first cohort of students through this transformative, app-based programme. It has been carefully researched and thousands of people have completed the programme, which has been designed to enable transformative change in the realms of performance, wellness and relationships. 

If you have a smartphone and you can spare an hour each weekend to watch a video from Shirzad, plus about 15 minutes a day to do the mental fitness exercises in short bursts, and if you can join me for a weekly 30 minute Zoom on Mondays at 7 pm (UK time), from Monday 15th August to Monday 19th September, I'd love to hear from you. (There is some flexibility regarding these Zoom meetings, so drop me a note if a different slot on Mondays would work better for you, as I may be able to offer an alternative time.)
