12-Week Emotional Fitness Training Program
Just like physical fitness, emotional fitness is a lifelong practice that thrives on consistent effort and effective techniques. Our program is designed to equip clients with the discipline and skills to build a sustainable emotional fitness routine, empowering them to enhance and maintain their emotional well-being for the long term.
Program Goals
HEALING, NOT COPING
While many emotional support resources simply offer ways to mask or cope with challenging issues, our unique process is meant to resolve issues at their core.
DISCIPLINED COMMITMENT
Change demands significant effort and dedication. We therefore prioritize structure and accountability to support consistent adherence to the process.
CHANGE, NOT STATUS QUO
Our program aims for true transformation, allowing clients to establish entirely new habits and attitudes for a radically different and improved life.

Emotional Fitness Coaching
-
VITALITY
Having vitality means living everyday life with vigor, fully alive in the moment and actively engaged with the world around us. When we have vitality, we can fully appreciate, respond to, and influence our day-to-day experiences.
-
POSITIVITY
Positivity is the ability to confront reality with a constructive and optimistic attitude, regardless of the circumstances. It involves seeing potential and opportunity in challenges, rather than just obstacles, drawbacks, or downsides.
-
RESILIENCY
Resilience is the capacity to bounce back quickly from difficulties. It's about recovering strength and confidence after setbacks, failures, or rejections. Resilient individuals not only withstand adversities but also grow from them.
-
ADAPTABILITY
Adaptability involves the flexibility to adjust thoughts and behaviors in response to changing circumstances. It is about being open to new ideas and different ways of doing things, and smoothly transitioning strategies when the situation demands.
-
SERENITY
Serenity means maintaining a state of calm and tranquility, even in the face of turmoil. With unwavering inner stability, serenity allows for clear thinking and decision-making, free from the disruptive influences of anxiety and stress.

At Vivir, the 12-week program is central to achieving the results we promise. It’s not just about learning the Emotional Updating technique—it’s about building a complete emotional fitness practice that supports lasting transformation. This is why using the app or booking individual sessions before completing the program is not an option.
The program is designed to guide you step by step, with expert support and intentional pacing, to ensure you develop both the skills and the confidence to use the app independently in the later phases. Without this foundation, the tools alone wouldn’t deliver the meaningful, lasting outcomes our program is built to provide.
For those exploring Vivir, our 3-week trial offers a meaningful introduction to the process and its potential benefits before committing to the full program.
