Cultivating Happiness
Happiness cannot be given to you. You alone can build it.
How Skills Deficits May Pose as Mental Disorders
Skill Deficits
It is easy to confuse a lack of skills with a disordered state (e.g., mental disorders), especially when we are talking about social, emotional or mental issues. For example, if you are highly anxious in social settings, some would equate this with a psychological issue such as social anxiety.
Over Time
But if you were naturally shy as a child and were never taught how to get past such shyness, perhaps raised by socially awkward parents and you also failed to make friends, then over time such skill deficits can pose as particular mental disorders when in fact you simply lack skills. But skills can be learned!
Learn Now!
The good news is that it is never too late to learn mental fitness skills! No matter how long you have “practiced” negative skills, practicing positive ones will make an impact, too. As you practice, you will literally be rewiring your brain over time for new thoughts, feelings and behaviors. You can do it!

Hear it first hand from our clients…
“I’m not a touchy-feeling kinda guy, you know? But when my marriage was falling apart, I realized I needed to do something. I was totally not into going to therapy. I wanted something concrete, something specific to do to make things better. Taking mental fitness classes and working with a coach gave me exactly what I was looking for. I never realized how much watching my parents fight influenced how I treated my wife. Now I do. And I really don’t want to be that guy any longer.”

Learned New Relationship Skills
“What I remember most about growing up was how angry I was. I’d throw things, break things…screamed a lot. It felt like I was always in trouble and I can’t even imagine how many hours I spend alone in my room. Until I took a class from the Mental Fitness Institute, though, I had no idea what the anger was all about. Now I realize that some of my most basic needs were ignored, not because my parents were bad folks. They just didn’t know how to help me. I’m still quicker to anger than I’d like, but I now have far more good days than bad. There’s more work to do but I no longer get up each day hating the person in the mirror.”

Uncovered the Key to Reducing His Anger
“I love my kids, but some days I wonder why on earth I had them. I’ve felt like such a horrible mother because I just couldn’t handle how they acted or couldn’t seem to make them do what I wanted. I didn’t have such a hot role model, I know, but I thought I’d figure it out. Thank God somebody told me about these classes and then I signed up for the Parent-Child Coaching thing to help me as I learned. My kids aren’t angels and, well, neither am I, but things are a lot smoother now. I’m finally beginning to like being a Mom. And for me, that’s sayin’ a lot.”
