Mental training basics/thoughts & feelings
Mental strength doesn't happen by chance - it starts when you gain a better understanding of your thoughts and feelings and learn to consciously control them. In this subject, you will receive a sound introduction to the basics of mental training and realize how closely thinking, feeling and acting are connected.
You will learn to sharpen your perception and observe mental processes more consciously: What inner dialogues are running in the background, how do automatic evaluations arise and why do they often influence mood, motivation and behavior more than the situation itself. A central focus is on recognizing these automatic thoughts and actively changing your inner dialogue so that it supports you in everyday life and training instead of blocking you.
At the same time, you will develop a better understanding of feelings and emotional dynamics. You will learn to name emotions clearly, understand their triggers and regulate them constructively - without repressing them or being controlled by them. In this way, you build up more self-management step by step and can remain more stable even in pressure situations.
The aim of the subject is to make mental patterns visible, release obstructive structures and develop new, beneficial ways of thinking - for more clarity, self-confidence and emotional stability. The subject is underpinned by scientific principles that shed light on how mental training influences well-being, performance and mental health.
