One thing that has helped me through this is a the Transformational Coaching Program called TCP that I took in March. It is a three month program that had an amazing impact on my life, which I described in Four Courses that Changed my Life and Lose Weight, Quit Smoking, Get Healthy and Peaceful Without Pain.
In those articles I focused on some of the most obvious physical changes that others could see such as weight loss and quitting smoking. But the biggest transformation was the way it affected my thinking, and how I deal with adversity. I learned to control my thoughts, and thus my emotions and habits and other ways of BEING. It gave me an amazing sense of peace and well being in the middle of this storm.
I tell you about it because the program opens twice a year, and it opens up September 14.
Here is a testimonial I created when I took the program.
So true! You cannot control most circumstances, but you CAN control your reaction to them…and mindset at the soul level is the key to reacting with hope and resilience. Change is inevitable, learning to deal with it is critical!
Yes, it takes commitment and practice to control your reactions rather than being on autopilot. That’s where most of us are which is natural but we can change it. It feels so much more peaceful when you do:) Thanks for reading!
Thanks for sharing Mary Ann. I am going to look into and see if I can get to a better state of mind right now. I try to be calm and peaceful but I find myself with no direction and just ‘sailing along.’ Great post!
I hope it helps you. It certainly helped me and especially now….remaining peaceful is so important. All the best to you!
I believe this is true! We can choose our thoughts and influence our lives to be more positive! Thanks for the reminder
You’re welcome. I have to keep working on it every day!
Mary Ann, this is so true. I’ve always tried to teach my own children that we can control one thing in life, and that is how we act and react.
I’m so happy for you that this program has been so beneficial for you. Glass half full is the way to go (both literally and figuratively – LOL).
Thank you Sheri, and what a great skill to teach your kids. I am sure it will serve them well throughout their lives.
