HURACT

Mental Fitness is just as necessary as physical fitness. Mental fitness means addressing health and psychological-emotional well-being with specific exercises.

There are several approaches to this practice, but the Mental Fitness HURACT stands out for a few main reasons.

• It is not "an end in itself". Still, it has a teleological vision aimed at psychological health, understood as a tendency to generate safety and well-being for oneself, others and one's organization (organizational dimension).
• It takes on an organizational and an individual perspective and is the ideal candidate for cross-cutting training of all human resources.
• Boost well-being and performance. The results of good mental fitness are social cohesion, performance, satisfaction, resilience to stress, psychological flexibility, and optimism.

This course is based on established theoretical models and evidence-based practice. It provides participants with concrete and practical psychological tools and techniques to train themselves to pursue mental health and "shape".

The PLAN is a straightforward and practical map representing behaviour concerning health and awareness.

• The P (Positive) quadrant. Optimism and flow experience: what supports this state and how you can pursue it
• Quadrant L (Learning). Appealing to one's values and strengths to confront adversity with a view to continuous learning.
• Quadrant A (Avoidance). What is the psychological mechanism that induces dysfunctional and counterproductive behaviour? Recognizing and managing it allows you to re-orient choices and behaviours.
• The N (Negative) quadrant. We will train you to escape the "vicious circle" trap that may imprison you in stereotyped and dysfunctional behaviours.

The Mental Fitness Skills.

1. Awareness: This skill brings awareness of the self regarding thoughts, emotions, behaviours, perceptions, and the surrounding reality.
2. Integration: this skill allows you to integrate negative thoughts, emotions and sufferings in an ego-syntonic way.
3. Values and strengths: This skill aims to elicit one's strengths and values and use them to steer behaviour in the right direction.
4. Goal: this skill is related to the ability to define ego-syntonic goals, plan to achieve them and act effectively.
5. Flow: This skill supports concentration on the present moment and the development of flow, that is, that optimal experience characterized by total involvement of the individual: focus on the goal, intrinsic motivation, positivity and gratification in carrying out a particular task.
6. Mindset: This skill directs feelings and beliefs about themselves, assuming how people perceive themselves influences what they think they can and will do.

The Mental Fitness Exercises.

With specific exercises, we will train the six psychological skills of Mental Fitness for proactively moving within the four quadrants toward safety and well-being.

The exercises, techniques, models, and tools used are derived from the third-generation cognitive-behavioural sciences, particularly ACT, Positive Psychology, and Mindfulness, and will be conveyed by qualified experts.
