Maastricht University Well Being Week 2020
Well Being is working. Like balance is an utopy, just 'be' is not an option. Keep educating, growing and experimenting!
The Power of Vulnerability
3-11 19.00
Do you feel limited by perfectionism, fear of failure, or hindered by feelings of shame, guilt and insecurity?
You don’t want to bother other people. You solve it on your own, afraid as you are to be different, or (possible) turned down by others. You just keep up appearances, as you’re afraid that you’re the only one. You wear yourself down trying to make no mistakes and reach for the most perfect outcome. Well, that’s toxic and exhausting. To avoid disapproval has a high cost. All that tension and the risk of being discovered.
How would you feel when you would accept your imperfections? Act with an air of healthy nonchalance? Ask for help when needed, and be open about your worries, reflecting on your emotions in an objective neutral way without being afraid to be rejected.
In this especially designed masterclass we teach you how to be your authentic self, apply and actually practice helpful techniques, and truly experience how it feels when you can be as you are, joyfully moving through the jungle of obligations, expectations and choices.
The Key to Willpower and Self-Motivation
4-11 19.00
Done with postponing, delaying, bargaining, avoiding, and distracting, whenever you need to finish things? Tired of making promises you don’t keep? Feeling often impatient, tense and frustrated, not able to motivate yourself?
And ultimately you get this idea of yourself, you’re not capable of finishing things, you get insecure whether you’re fit to the job. You keep setting goals, but inside you doubt yourself more and more. Such a waste!
Here’s the good news: willpower is a muscle and can be trained. Perseverance is a skill that is often hindered by impulsive decisions in favor of quick rewards and distractions. Believe me, you can obtain focus, effectiveness and revenue like an athlete as long as you know the trick how to manage your self-control, enhance self-awareness and gain self confidence.
In this especially designed masterclass we show you the power of observation and smart hacks in your daily routine. Learn to apply concepts as meditation, visualisation, expectation management, and emotional resilience. And last but not least gain more self confidence and become more mild about your mistakes. Skills for life!
