Beyond Personal Wishes | ProActive Mind As the year comes to a close, we naturally turn to familiar wishes: happy holidays, good health, success in the year ahead. These words are kind, necessary, and deeply human. And yet, they are no longer enough. We are living at a moment in history when individual well-being cannot be separated from....

We live in the most connected, informed age in history—yet hostility, greed, and destruction still guide too much of our world. Why do we misuse our awareness instead of elevating it?
One important question arise: will we nurture what’s best in us—or continue to feed what’s worst?

The Paradox of Humanity’s Choices | ProActive Mind We live in a time that, in theory and even in statistics, should be humanity’s brightest age. Never before have we had such access to education, science, and information. Knowledge that once took centuries to accumulate and only a few had the privilege of time to access it (either because of dista...

A psychological perspective on disobedience and ethics. A call for Moral Courage | ProActive Mind Reflection on experiences and the way we work is an essential tool for growth for a coaching psychologist (and not only). Lately, as I reflect on the world around me in general, and particularly the subjects brought by my clients, I sense a new level and a new kind of uncertainty, frustration, and d...

Mental Health Week 2024 | Semaines de la Santé Mentale: The Power of Connection For Mental Health Week 2024, members of the Association of Positive Psychology Luxembourg (PPL) share short (1-2 mins) video tips to support your wellbeing. ...

Today is the start of the Mental Health Weeks in Luxembourg, organised by Ligue Santé Mentale. To support the important work done throughout Luxembourg during these weeks, we have created a series of short videos, which we will share each day.

To launch the two weeks, we have written a brief blog post containing all the videos and a bit more information about this year's theme for the Semaines de la Santé Mentale.

The link to the blog post is in the comments.

Autumn started, most of people finished their holidays and came back to work, to the busy life, to the problems...shortly to continuous bad water and darker shorter days. A busy period also for my profession...so I share with you an article I wrote a while ago that might inspire some to get the support they need it.

Choosing a mental health professional | ProActive Mind Starting this year the national health insurance in Luxembourg (CNS) started to reimburse/cover costs for psychotherapy. The news was announced in all main languages but the details are missing or at least confusing. The general confusion between psychiatry, psychology, psychotherapy, psychoanalysis...

I work with managers and I work as well with team members (not of the same managers obviously as that would be not only difficult but also unethical). So I hear both sides of the story. I live in an environment where we look for blame and not for self reflection and growth. I would love to hear more managers and leaders reflecting on their role in the people management and depending on their level their influence on the organization….

Imagine all the people | ProActive Mind I arrived back (to my « routine » let’s say) after 4 days of Positive Psychology at the European Conference. And since Monday I try to gather my thoughts and make something coherent from all the learning and positive emotions I experienced. I have learned a lot, I enjoy every presentation or wor...

Professionals from different parts of the world (France, South Africa, Italy, Hungary, Czech Republic, Denmark and Romania) living in Luxembourg teamed up to create and implement between 2021 and 2023 a program for Resilience and Wellbeing that offered support to parents/families in Luxembourg to grow and strive after the pandemic. I am proud I had the opportunity to lead this team and to celebrate this achievement by presenting together with Vera and Jannie our adventure at ECPP 2024 in Innsbruck next week.

We put Luxembourg on the map of Positive Psychology. On the 13th of July PPL asbl will present its program Resilience & Wellbeing for parents that had been funded by Oeuvre Grande-Duchesse Charlotte, created and ran between 2021 and 2023 in order to support parents/families in Luxembourg to overcome the effects of the pandemic on their mental health.
BIG thank you to Kehdija Pereira for spotting the opportunity and to the team creating it and putting it to practice! Maria Grazia Serra, Nadège Ravoux, Angie Robinson, Suzanne Zsuzsa Karsai, Jannie Stricker, Věra Kristensen, Andreea Cimpoesu and Dana Moldoveanu Brandes
