Mind Fitness for Performers

Mind Fitness for Performers have worked with over 5000 performers since 2015.

Our new book ‘Developing your Emotional Health’ commissioned and published by Nick Hern Theatre Books is now available.
Here is a review followed by two audio exercises and a link to buy the book.

DEVELOPING YOUR EMOTIONAL HEALTH – BROADWAY WORLD REVIEW

'An extremely interesting and useful book for anyone in a creative role, especially for one which involves participating in social media and digital spaces... at just over 208 pages, this small and light paperback can be easily transported about with you and just dipping into any page may well be rewarding... This is a toolkit to help creatives in a business which is often hard to navigate, and I feel it is an excellent addition to the material currently available on the subject. It is written in a chatty and approachable style, and the bitesize structure is perfect for reading on the go.'

Your Trainer:

Beth is one of the founding directors of Mind Fitness and co-author of the hugely successful Unlock You and Emotional Health for Performers.

Beth’s background is in theatre having worked for 15 years in mainstream before founding Prospero Theatre in 2015, an inclusive theatre company working with actors with disabilities and mental health challenges.

Beth says:

‘Feeling stressed is part of the human condition but there are simple techniques we can employ to take us out of the stress response and back to a place where we can think clearly and perform well. We can use simple techniques to retrain our brain so that it doesn’t get tangled up in the negative, and gradually we can replace them with positive thoughts and emotions.

In other words you can learn to get out of your own way and achieve your potential.’
