The App is downloadable for free and may be used by all, who wish to work on personal development. The App is also being used in individual coaching sessions and in mental first aid projects.
The Mental First Aid App consists of 2 guided exercises: Let Go (of your thoughts) and Feel It
(dissolve the discomfort).
Both the Let Go and Feel it exercises help to prevent stress, enhance well being and can help fight anxiety, insecurity, overwhelm, anger and sadness and other emotions that are limiting you.
By using the Let Go exercise you will be able to let go of your thoughts and experience a sense of inner calm. The exercise enhances your ability to focus and concentrate in situations that demand your full attention.
When using the Let Go exercise on a continual basis you will gradually find it easier to let your thoughts go. This will give you inner calmness and allow you to acces your intuitive wisdom, which will lead you to be clear about your choice of action in specific situations.
The purpose of the Feel it exercise is to dissolve any emotional discomfort, you may be experiencing in specific situations such as:
- I dont think I am good enough
- I am caught up in my stream of thoughts and have a hard time concentrating
- I feel insecure about all these changes
- I often get overwhelmed by sadness
- I have a hard time saying no and am easily overburdened
- I get angry very easily and overreact
- I have a hard time saying what I really think, fearing what others might think of me
By going into the emotion and feeling the discomfort you are experiencing, you are able to dissolve the discomfort. When this happens, you will find that situations in which you were previously emotionally affected - no longer have the same effect on you. You will experience inner calm and a strong sense of presence in the same situations.
The Feel It exercise is not a thought exercise, but a feeling exercise. The fewer thoughts you have filling your mind, before you go into the Feel It exercise, the greater your benefit. Bearing this in mind, it is a good idea to complete the Let Go exercise, before you do the Feel It exercise.
To begin with you need to define, which challenge you wish to work with. You then recall a situation which exemplifies where you feel the discomfort you want to get rid of.
Using a headset and keeping your eyes closed while completing the exercises will give you the best effect.
