The project “Where is my balance?” provided participants frames and tools of mindfulness-based stress reduction. Stress is one of the world’s largest health problems, leading to exhaustion, burnout, anxiety, a weak immune system, or even organ damage. It’s normal to be stressed in these uncertain times. But long periods of high stress can damage your immune system and cause physical and emotional illnesses. This is why we need to make time to take a deep breath. Many young people suffer from chronic stress and other issues that inhibit the functioning (and indeed the development) of the prefrontal cortex, and this also affects their intrinsic motivation to engage in any activity. While we may not be able to change what stresses us, it can be very helpful to begin to accept that we are humans (not "super(wo)man"), understand or acknowledge that we need help, and find resources that can help us. That way, even if you have a lot on your plate, you will feel more able to cope with it. It is getting harder and harder to unwind ourselves, develop our own ways, separate our own views from societal ones, and develop critical thinking. It’s getting harder when our mind is constantly affected by overwhelming news, useless information, those standardized, stereotypical views and approaches characterizing certain societies and cultures. Unfortunately this situation often leads to radicalization, discrimination and violence. In order to avoid this, through this project we wanted to become more aware of ourselves and our lives, own fundamental values, views, personal attitudes, decisions and actions. During the pandemic youth workers were highly affected. Many projects have been cancelled, youth workers/young leaders or NGO workers have not been prepared for it and this comes with a lot of new challenges. This project helped them to find balance and start with new energy and on top of that with new methodologies, tools and more. According to research from the United Nations (UN) and World Health Organization (WHO), since the outbreak of COVID19 in Europe levels of stress and anxiety have risen substantially. people are likely to suffer severe and long-lasting impacts from the pandemic. The project guided youth workers to find new ways of personal development, self-acceptance, self-expression and self-transformation through mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR). MBSR uses a combination of meditation, body awareness, yoga, breathing techniques, massage and exploration of patterns of behavior, thinking, feeling Even before the onset of the crisis, the social and economic integration of young people was an ongoing challenge. We strongly believe that MBSR can bring balance in the life of youth workers, whom can share their newly-gained knowledge within their organizations. Our project- Where is my Balance - was hosted in a camping area in Dusheti region next to beautiful river Aragvi away from the overwhelming cities, stressful environments, avoiding technology and external distractions. Often we escape in a world of online “likes” and “comments” on Facebook, Instagram, other social media networks, or in a world of fun, alcohol and drugs, trying to fulfill deeper needs by superficial activities. Spending time in nature can help relieve stress and anxiety, improve your mood, and boost feelings of happiness and wellbeing. Whatever you call it – forest bathing, ecotherapy, mindfulness in nature, green time or the wilderness cure - humans evolved in the great outdoors, and your brain benefits from a journey back to nature. The main aims and objectives of the project were to guide the participants: - To develop focus, concentration and clear mind; - To stimulate self-reflection through personal development sessions; - To equip participants with competences and methods for their personal and professional development, needed for transferring the common European values, preventing violent radicalization; - To discover the new ways of self-awareness through meditation, yoga, massage body movement and breath techniques; - To enhance healthy lifestyle, physical flexibility, coordination and body awareness through experimenting different styles of Yoga and contemporary dance movements; - To equip them with news tools and methods for their local projects - To promoting the respect of diversity, intercultural and inter-religious dialogue, common values of freedom and human rights, practice tolerance, break stereotypes and prejudices, and fight against discrimination; - To build meaningful relationships and future cooperation; - To create a toolbox for trainers.
