4D Fit Mental Fitness is a Certified LGBTBE®
4D Fit Mental Fitness with Scott Mikesh is an officially Certified LGBT+ Business Enterprise® with the National LGBT+ Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC) and Quorum, Twin Cities GLBT+ and Allied Chamber of Commerce.
What does this mean?
This means that my business is now connected to a larger global network of LGBT-owned and operated businesses that lends further credibility, validation, and opportunity in my mental fitness work to empower every individual to feel and do THEIR best by connecting diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts with well-being.
Does this mean YOU have to be a member of the LGBT+ community to work with me?
Absolutely not. This designation is a door-opener, not a door-closer. My work will continue to break down the shame, stigma, and stereotypes that too often get the way of you feeling and doing YOUR best, to achieve YOUR goals with healthful outcomes.
Do you have to agree with everything I think, feel, and believe to work with me?
Nope! That's the real beauty of true diversity, equity, and inclusion. My aim is to help you understand and accept yourself as the complex human being you are, to help YOU feel and do YOUR best, without shame or judgment. I actually encourage people to ask me those tough questions that help us all connect the dots.
Should you expect to be mentally and emotionally challenged in healthful ways when you work with me?
You betcha. Just like going to the gym, challenging yourself in healthful ways is part of the neurological process in developing healthier habits, including thoughts, feelings, and behaviors (that might be more challenging at first, but get easier with repetition and reinforcement!).
That said, fun, safety, rest, and reward are of utmost importance too. While learning about yourself might tap into various unconscious fears and emotions (that may require more specialized counseling or clinical care), my aim is to always create a safe space for you to learn, practice, and grow.
There is no educational requirement prior to starting your mental fitness journey and no question or concern is a stupid one. All that's required is your commitment to making your OWN brain health and mental well-being a priority, that takes practice.
Should you consult your primary healthcare provider before making any changes to your health and fitness routine?
YES. Fitness programs are not a replacement for clinical therapy or medical healthcare. That's why it's always important to consult those who are providing clinical or medical care before making any changes to your lifestyle or fitness practices to ensure the most healthful outcomes.
