WHAT IS THRIVING?
What is Thriving?
As previously explained on the page Can this programme help me and shown in the image below, every person is on a mental health ‘spectrum’. Some people are struggling with their mental health, others are quite resilient, and the rest are thriving.
Thriving people feel in control, confident, skilful, resourceful, and powerful. People who are thriving feel equipped to deal with the hurdles and pressures that life has in store and have learned the skills to flourish in life.
When you are thriving, you are optimistic, energetic and positive as a result of the insights and knowledge acquired through The Thrive Programme®. Thriving tempts you to embrace challenges in life with enthusiasm, instead of reluctance and fear. Thriving does not necessarily mean you are happy every day or that you avoid difficulties in life (that’s a little unrealistic!). It means you have the psychological and emotional skills to respond to what life throws at you, in a helpful, powerful way and make the most of your life.
Learning to thrive means identifying what unhelpful, powerless beliefs, thinking styles and habits you have that are holding you back, or causing your problems in your life, and how to develop the skills and resources to change.
There is a strong argument that the most significant factor determining whether you live the happiest, fulfilled, and most resourceful life, is how you manage your beliefs, thinking styles and mindset.
In many cases, the primary reason people ore on the struggling side of the spectrum, with any of the symptoms listed on the previous page, is because they have never been taught how to create strong psychological foundations, build their self-esteem, manage their thoughts and emotions. Therefore, understandably so, they may develop unhelpful beliefs, lower self-esteem, social anxiety, and a powerless mindset. Again, much like your physical health; education, attention and practice are crucial to managing your mental health in a helpful way.
