Project Mind Gym

sTARTUp Day esitleb: Project Mind Gym on 5-kuuline pilootprogramm 10 Eesti iduettevõtjale, mis õpetab teaduspõhiseid meetodeid energia, keskendumisvõime ja vaimse vastupidavuse kasvatamiseks. Programm ühendab tervisesüsteemide loomise, teadveloleku, enesekaastunde treeningud ja personaalse coachingu, et aidata asutajatel ehitada oma ettevõtet ilma läbipõlemiseta.

Miks me seda teeme?

Tegemist on Eestis ja maailmas ainulaadse projektiga, mille eesmärgiks on treenida Eesti iduettevõtjad maailma parimateks. Iduettevõtjad on võrreldavad tippsportlastega, kes peavad pideva stressi tingimustes saavutama üliinimlikke tegusid, ent erinevalt atleetidest puudub neil täna süsteemne lähenemine, kuidas oma vaimu ja keha selleks ette valmistada. Seetõttu on startupperite seas väga palju läbipõlemist ja terviseprobleeme, mis mõjutavad ka nende ettevõtete edu.


Kuidas projekt välja näeb?

Project Mind Gym ühendab endas parimad teaduspõhised praktikad harjumuste kujundamisest, süsteemsest tervisejuhtimisest ning teadvelolekust, et hoida iduettevõtjate energiatase, tööefektiivsus ja vaimne vastupidavus suurenenud stressi tingimustes kõrge. 5-kuulise projekti raames toimuvad iganädalased kohtumised, kus treenitakse keskendumist ja mõtlemist ning luuakse tervist toetavaid süsteeme. Lisaks on igale osalejale ette nähtud sessioonid isikliku coachiga, et õpitud praktikad kinnistuksid.


Kellele on projekt mõeldud?

Projekt on mõeldud vähemalt aasta aega tegutsenud iduettevõtte asutajale, kes teeb oma asja suure kire ja südamega, ent tunneb, et pidev stress ja pinge mõjuvad tervisele koormavalt, mis mõjutab ka tööd. Tal ei ole seni õnnestunud ehitada iseseisvalt püsivaid tervislikke harjumusi (või ei ole need teda piisavalt aidanud), kuigi väga tahaks. Ta soovib teha tööd maksimaalse efektiivsusega, aga nii, et tervis ja suhted ei kannataks ja ta läbi ei põleks.


Programmi lõpuks osaleja:

  • Energiatase, tööefektiivsus ja vaimne vastupidavus on tõusnud;

  • On loovam ja rahulikum pingelistes ja emotsionaalselt rasketes olukordades;

  • On loonud püsivad vaimset ja füüsilist tervist toetavad süsteemid ja harjumused;

  • On leidnud toetavad mõttekaaslased, kes aitavad tal säilitada tervist toetavat eluviisi.


Programmi läbiviijad:

Programm valmib koostöös erinevate ekspertidega.

  • sTARTUp Day on Eesti suurim iduettevõtjate festival, kel on pikaajaline kogemus iduettevõtjatega töötamisega.

  • Dr Ann Leen Mahhov on üldarst, tervisekoolitaja ja endine iduettevõtja, kes õpetab teaduspõhist ning süsteemset lähenemist oma tervise juhtimisele.

  • Merle Antson on sTARTUp Day tegevjuht, personaaltreener ja heaolunõustaja, kes viib muuhulgas läbi jõutreeningu, mis on sobilik kõikidele tasemetele.

  • Helena Väljaste viib MTÜ Vaikuseminutid alt viib Helena Väljastepoolt läbi teadveloleku treeningut. Helena on psühholoog, koolitaja, teadveloleku ja hoolivuse praktikate õpetaja ning motiveeriva intervjueerimise treener, kellel on pikaaegne kogemus erinevate tehnoloogiaettevõtete ja nende meeskondadega töötamisel.

  • Dr Kristjan Martin Kasterpalu on psühhiaater ja sertifitseeritud Mindful Self-Compassioni õpetaja, kes viib läbi enesekaastundliku teadveloleku treeninguid.

  • Anette Mandel on kogenud toitumisnõustaja ja personaaltreener, kes õpetab süsteemset lähenemist, kuidas valmistada lühikese ajaga ette terve nädala toidukorrad, mis oleksid toitainerikkad ja maitsvad.


Lisaks on projekti kaasatud erinevad coachid.


Kogu projekti käigus kogutakse osalejatelt infot selle kohta, milline on praktikate mõju ning mis toetab neid kõige enam. Programmis täismahus osalemine on iduettevõtjale tasuta. Kokku valitakse kandidaatide seast välja 10 osalejat. Programmi lõpuks valmib lühidokumentaalfilm, mis tuleb koos projekti tulemustega esitlemisele 2027. aasta sTARTUp Day’l.

PROGRAMM


Programm koosneb kolmest sisuplokist ning paralleelsetest individuaal- ning grupicoachingu sessioonidest:


1. MOODUL: Tervisesüsteemide loomine

Aeg: 17.08, 18.08, 24.08, 26.08
Läbiviijad: dr Ann Leen Mahhov (arst ja tervisekoolitaja), Anette Mandel (toitumisnõustaja), Merle Antson (heaolunõustaja ja personaaltreener)

  • Närvisüsteemi eripära mõistmine ning kuidas see enda kasuks pöörata: puhkamine ja energiavarude efektiivne taastamine

  • Tervislik toitumine piiratud ajalistes tingimustes: meal prepi töötuba ehk kuidas luua paari tunniga toitaineterikas ja tervislik toit tervele perele kogu nädalaks

  • Aktiivne elustiil: õpime ja katsetame praktiliselt, kuidas lisada igapäevaellu rohkem aktiivsust ilma, et see hammustaks päevast suure tüki, lisaks teeme läbi ka juhendatud jõutreeningu

  • Toetavate süsteemide ja harjumuste loomine, mis aitavad järjepidevalt oma tervisevundamendi eest hoolitseda


2. MOODUL: Teadveloleku (mindfulness) treening

Aeg: 31.08-02.11, esmaspäeviti kell 15-17 kohapeal ja veebis.

Läbiviija: MTÜ Vaikuseminutid, Helena Väljaste.

Teadvelolek aitab arendada oskust märgata oma mõtteid, tundeid ja kehalisi aistinguid hetkes toimuva osana. Regulaarne tähelepanu treenimine suurendab eneseteadlikkust ning loob rohkem võimalusi valida teadlikult, kuidas erinevatele olukordadele vastata. Lisaks toetab teadveloleku praktiseerimine närvisüsteemi tasakaalu, aitab vähendada stressi, parandada keskendumisvõimet ning soodustab taastumist ja kvaliteetsemat und. Startup-keskkonnas, kus tuleb teha palju otsuseid ja tulla toime ebakindlusega, aitab teadvelolek kasutada oma tähelepanu, energiat ja vaimseid ressursse tõhusamalt ning jätkusuutlikumalt. See omakorda aitab ennetada ülekoormust ja vähendada läbipõlemise riski.


3. MOODUL: Enesekaastundliku teadveloleku treening ehk Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC)

Aeg: 16.11.26-18.01.27 esmaspäeviti kell 14-17, kohapeal ja veebis

Läbiviija: dr Kristjan Kasterpalu, psühhiaater ja MSC õpetaja


MSC on teaduslikult tõestatud meetod efektiivseks emotsioonide regulatsiooniks läbi enesekaastunde. MSC astub sammu edasi teadveloleku alustest ning keskendub intensiivsetele ja keerulistele tunnetele, mis ilma õige käsitluseta kurnavad ja põletavad inimese vaimseid ressursse. See on kasulik inimesele, kes peab hakkama saama suurte kaotuste, pideva ebakindluse ning emotsionaalse pingega. MSC annab tööriistad, et ennast mitte saboteerida, vaid usaldada ning toetada ka siis, kui keegi teine seda ei tee.


COACHING

Lisaks iganädalastele kohtumistele toimub korra kuus nii grupis kui individuaalselt coachingu seanss, kus lahendatakse ettetulevaid probleeme tervist toetava eluviisi loomisel.


Tulemuste hindamine:

Paralleelselt programmiga monitoorib iga osaleja enda puhul erinevaid näitajaid, sh keskendumisvõime ja energiataset. Näitajate monitoorimine toimub selleks otstarbeks loodud digitaalsel platvormil ning võimaldab hinnata programmi mõju osalejatele.
