Positive mindset

can lead to a happy life

Reeta Minhas-Judd, founder of RMJ Training Services, highlights the importance of wellbeing in a post-COVID world…

Since COVID-19 has been present, many have struggled mentally and physically at the hands of this uncontrollable and unknown virus. We now seem to be heading towards a ray of light, with the introduction and successful roll-out of the vaccination programme. Now, though, more so than before, people are suffering with anxiety and other forms of distress at the thought of moving on with their lives, whilst still living with the existence of COVID-19.

COVID-19 has caused those who were previously confident to run and hide through uncertainty and fear. So, what can they do to begin their journey in this “new normal” world we’ve now found ourselves in?

This is where I can help. Over the coming months, I’ll be offering hints, tips and information that can offer useful coping mechanisms for those who are struggling. This can help to re-build their confidence and outlook to a more positive state. This journey doesn’t have to be a perilous one, but one of growth and positivity. Acceptance is imperative when looking to reach a positive state. People who don’t accept that they need support and guidance will continue in a state of denial and not want to seek any form of assistance. They’ll continue to associate their lives with negativity and this in turn will give rise to a lack of confidence. If I had a pound for every person who told me they’d book a session with me, I’d be a millionaire! This is the first step which not everybody is ready to take but, once they do, life will never be the same again. Through life therapy I can help clients re-visit unhappy areas of their lives which they may have suppressed for several years. Once they’ve revisited these areas, they’ll start to have acceptance, and this in turn will help them to make peace with things that have been suppressed within them. Only at this point will they be ready to move on with a more positive mindset, because until then every action and decision they make will be associated with a negative past.
