Description Of Living Your Best Life Diploma Course
The essence of this course is that the world is what you make it. You’ll learn valuable techniques for living your best life – from the art of mindfulness to self-hypnosis to positive affirmations, you’ll gain all the tools you need to start making changes today. Take this course, take back control of your life, and make it what you want it to be.
The Living Your Best Life Diploma Course guides you through your first steps in how to live your best life by first helping you to see where you are right now. You’ll learn to recognise whether things are out of balance, how to restore balance and develop resilience.
From this understanding of yourself, the course provides the foundations from which to build your future. You’ll be introduced to simple but incredibly powerful concepts that will aid in planning your future and personal development. These concepts and exercises include the Pillars of Life, the Wheel of Life Exercise and setting SMART goals.
Do you believe that you can grow, change, adapt, and improve or that where you are now is where you’ll always be? You’ll discover the difference between a growth and a fixed mindset and that you can change your mind by thinking creatively. We’ll also take a look at some of the influential components of the human brain – giving you an under-the-hood exploration of how it all works.
Mindfulness – a powerful tool in resolving the issues of an overactive and reactive mind. Practising mindfulness allows us to be present in the moment, take it all in and fully live life. It also allows us to consider our thoughts and emotions as being merely those things, removing the negative power they can have over us. Through the Living Your Best Life Diploma Course, you’ll learn the origins of mindfulness, how it can help you to live a better life, and be taken through some basic mindfulness exercises to get you started with the practice.
Often going hand-in-hand with mindfulness, meditation is a great tool for quietening the mind, aiding goal accomplishment and overcoming obstacles. You’ll be guided through a brief history of meditation, learn its health benefits and be taken through some meditation techniques that you can use right away.
With your mind free of distractions and negative thoughts, you can start to make changes, overcome obstacles, and transform your life. This is where self-hypnosis comes in – an incredible tool that can be used for just about anything from helping you to achieve your goals to removing negative habits. The Living Your Best Life Diploma Course gives a little of the history of hypnosis before explaining the types and benefits of the practice, taking you step-by-step through the use of self-hypnosis and provides several hypnosis scripts to help you with specific goals.
Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) is a unique approach to communication, personal development, and psychotherapy. Through this practice, we can learn to model the successful behaviours of others, improve communication, become a better listener, resolve conflicts, and become better at listening to others. The course provides an overview of NLP and how it works before providing exercises for you to work through that show just effective it can be in improving your life.
To live your best life, you need to understand that we each create our own reality – we attract into our lives whatever it is we are most focused on. This is known as the law of attraction – a powerful universal force that is always at work. The problem is that most of us aren’t aware of it and tend to create both the things we want along with the things we don’t. In the course, you’ll learn how to use the law of attraction effectively and how to think positively using the psychology of happiness.
You’ve probably heard of affirmations or personal mantras but you may not know how powerful they can be in sculpting the life you want to lead. Short, positive statements, set in the present tense, meant to reflect the condition or state of mind you want to achieve, affirmations are a great tool for overcoming obstacles and achieving goals. We explore the concept of affirmations and explain how they can help you. You’ll discover the science behind them and become aware of several affirmations you can use to guide you towards your goals.
Stress. It’s an inevitability in each of our lives; however, there are ways to lessen its impact and combat it when it does hit. The Living Your Best Life Diploma Course shares useful stress management and coping techniques.
To set you off on your journey, the course concludes with a technique to loosen up your mind and focus on what you really want and provides guidance on how to create a meaningful life purpose statement.
