Why Mental Fitness is the new Mental Health | Maya Raichoora | TEDxShoreditch Women
NOTE FROM TED: Please do not look to this talk for health advice. This talk only represents the speaker's personal views and understanding of the brain, visualization, and mental health. Several claims in this talk lack scientific support. We've flagged this talk because it falls outside the content guidelines TED gives TEDx organizers. TEDx events are independently organized by volunteers. The guidelines we give TEDx organizers are described in more detail here: storage.ted.com/tedx/manuals/t...
We need to stop talking about mental health, and instead actually start doing something about it. Maya Raichoora- one of the UK’s leading mental fitness and visualisation experts presents a simple yet novel approach to training the mind and improving mental health. One of the UK’s leading visualisation experts, Maya is pioneering a mental fitness revolution. She is the founder and CEO of Remap mental fitness. Working with global brands like Nike, Lego and Barclays- she helps people think, feel and perform like the top 1%. Best known for hosting immersive visualisation events, her story and workshops will leave you feeling inspired, empowered and mentally strong.
At the age of 15, Maya was diagnosed with Ulcerative colitis, an incurable irritable bowel disease. Crippled with physical and mental pain, she was told she had very little hope. After learning and practicing visualisation, the technique saved her life. She is now on a mission to help others. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Fabulous talk Maya; one of the best, on one of the most important topics of our time!
Brilliant. More please.
Great talk with loads of interesting insights. I always advocate about mind health and fitness.
it's amazing, I had a bad day yesterday and this video came to my KZread homepage. Great advice Maya and TED, thanks!
Some people have no visual or other sensory imagery experiences. Check the paper "Imagery agnosia and its phenomenology". But for many visualization is very valuable.
Maya - amazing!
Worth watching!
Very well spoken
Amazing!! So many golden nuggets!!

So glad it resonated!
Visualization works as a remembering tool (you did the thing you visualize before) or as a creative tool (you create a new image of an activity you didn't do from images of similar experiences you did do before). You can't visualize without a personal reference point.
Thank you for your speech 💬. I enjoyed very much 😊
Visualisation enable the new neutron pathway formed to allow you to better fit into and tackle the challenging scenarios that are going to happen to you.
Amazing!! This has become one of my favorite TED talks!
Fantastic - worth listening to the talk.

Mental fitness, yes, but it's madness.Not for the sensitive people.
I improved my mental fitness today, by imagining what she looked like without that jumpsuit on. She packaged herself. All I did, was take off the wrapping. We could call it "creative visualization."
