Are you sometimes wondering at the end of the month: where did my money go? Did I really spend that much?
Well, you are not the only one.
A lot of people have no real insight into their finances and wonder why there’s so little money left in the bank at the end of the month.
Are they careless and do they not pay attention to their spending? Or is it that they rely on someone else to do the financial administration? Or maybe they are wise with spending their money but have difficulties keeping track of budgeting?
So what is Financially Fit?
To gain knowledge about yourself in relation to money, knowledge about yourself in relation to finances is very important. It releases you from thinking and worrying about something we have to deal with every day.
Research has shown that financial stress can lead to depression, anxiety and hypertension.

HOW TO STOP BEING
A PERFECTIONIST
Our society is based on performance, achievement and perfection. Anything less is seen as a weakness or maybe even as a failure. People are in fear of making errors, fear of humiliation in case they should fail.
More and more is society focused on comparison, starting already at an early age. The emphasis is on ranking, whether it is at school or work.
More and more people are getting stuck in this continuous cycle of improvement.
When is the time to stop?
When comes the moment you can get grip of yourself and stop being a perfectionist?
When does your perfectionism stop impacting your life?
Perfectionism is our treadmill. It keeps running the same loop, you keep on saying to yourself that you should do more and that you should try harder.
But you need to stop this treadmill, stop being a perfectionist.
In this course you will learn how to overcome your perfectionism and your fear of failure. You will learn how to deal with the 'overdoing of things' and how to stop worrying if everything is not perfect.
Lots of questions and exercises will help you not only to understand but also to shift your mindset. This course will also teach you how to recognize situations when you get trapped in your perfectionism.
After completing the course you know what to do and to get you out of those situations.

FINDING & FOSTERING FRIENDSHIPS
Making New Friends
&
Keeping Them
Research has shown that 40% of the people feel lonely. People of different ages and different backgrounds. The consequences are enormous, people getting mental and sometimes even physical problems because they are lonely.
Loneliness can come easily into your life: you are moving to a new place, changing your job or school.
Making new friends in a new environment is not as simple as it sounds.
It takes time and courage to put yourself out there in search of meeting people with hopefully, in time, the beginnings of new friendships.
We have periods in our lives when we do have a lot of friends, at school, at a sports club, in college or at work. But time goes by and you lose sight of each other and later you regret you have not held on to those friendships.
However, it is never too late to renew old friendships, you once had something in common, maybe that is still the case.
This course will help you to understand how friendships work, how to make new friends and where to find those new friends.
This course will also help you foster those friendships with lots of insights and practical tips and strategies.
