The element of “mental” or “spiritual health” is closely linked to all other 6 modules. Following the motto: WHAT I THINK, THAT IS ME, we control the direction of our health and well-being with our thoughts.
Here are the 7 most important points for mental health according to our system:
- Positive thoughts
- Healthy circle of friends
- Healthy diet (because gut health has a direct impact on the brain)
- Healthy exercise (which, in turn, also affects metabolism, hormone secretion, and bowel function)
- Healthy mental activities
- Healthy sleep
- Healthy communication
7 Reasons Why Mental Health Is the Foundation of High Performance
In a world that rewards constant output and speed, mental health is often overlooked – until it breaks. But true leadership and resilience come from within. That’s why mental health isn’t a luxury – it’s a strategy. PIQ (Personal Intelectual Quality) and the MINDSET FIRST coaching camp are designed for addressing your personal growth individually.
We all started as little kids, discovering the world with fresh minds and only good intentions. Suddenly the challenges hit us like imperfect parents, teachers, bad intentions of others… and the world changed rapidly may times as we grew older. Some could manage to get over their childhood experiences, others not. Nothing of the above started out as a fair game. But as adults now we have to manage…
Here’s why it’s one of the 7 core pillars in our HealthSystem7 – and why we combine it with the powerful experience of the “Mindset First” camps by Bernd Bauer in Croatia:
1. Peak performance starts in the mind
Before you run a business, lead a team, or face your next challenge – your thoughts and emotions set the tone. A trained mindset is your most powerful internal engine.
2. Stress is real – and manageable
Chronic stress isn’t a badge of honor. It drains focus, weakens immunity, and shortens your fuse. The right tools help you transform pressure into presence.
3. Resilience can be trained
Resilience isn’t a gift. It’s a practice. Through nature, structure, and coaching, we help high performers reconnect to their center – and bounce back stronger.
4. Mental clarity drives decision quality
Tired minds make scattered choices. Sharp minds create clean impact. We work on your ability to filter noise and see what truly matters.
5. Leadership begins with emotional intelligence
Understanding others begins with knowing yourself. Emotional awareness isn’t soft – it’s what separates managers from real leaders.
6. Recovery is performance
Rest is not the opposite of work – it’s the partner of productivity. Our Croatia camps offer physical regeneration and deep mental reset in one of Europe’s most beautiful settings.
7. Mental health builds legacy, not just success
Burnout doesn’t just cost careers – it costs relationships, purpose, and joy. We help you shift from surviving to living – with tools you’ll take for life.
