Shining Light on Optimism

“Optimism is a state of mind which displays itself in relation to the future so it is always related to our potential. It becomes actualized when we co-create with our awareness and observation of reality. From potential to actual is the direction that optimism leads but it only arrives at its goal after getting through the awareness of its partner named “Pessimism.” ~Lucy Beal, M.S., N.C.C.
I am a firm believer that OPTIMISM is an energy inside of us that has healing power over all kinds of illnesses, issues, and problems. As optimism grows inside our consciousness, it can become the seed of even greater energy. By learning how to live with optimism, we become more aware of limiting thoughts and learn how to let go of negative mindsets. When this happens, we allow ourselves the experience of a ‘conscious progression’ into a more enlightened state of mind.

The roots of Optimism are firmly planted in the abiding reality of life’s basic goodness.

I believe that right here and now, you are standing at a threshold of an enormous opportunity to interpret life in a more favorable way! I am not discounting that challenges will surface, but what I truly believe is that facing those challenges with a new awareness and perspective is the key for living a life on purpose, with joy, peace and love in our hearts. When you begin to do the ‘work’, it takes you on a journey of honestly looking for and believing in positive outcomes. You remember that there is ALWAYS an opportunity for gratitude and purposeful action. You remember that there IS a creative and spiritual solution to each and every challenge, and that within each challenge is an opportunity for abundance and growth.

You can further that experience by learning how to use your courage to look at your own negative thoughts with a renewed sense of OPTIMISM.

While there is a tendency to get stuck replaying negative mental ‘recordings and video clips’ for many years at a time, I can help you identify these programs in an effort to expand your awareness and bring in even more light each day. So, when it seems like things are being taken away from you, you actually begin to see how your own understanding and awareness is simply growing. You realize that the concept of “what matters to you” needs to be dusted off and viewed from a wider and clearer perspective. In our work together, you learn to see things in a different light and, as a result, become more “enlightened.”

I believe that we all have the inner capacity to shift our thoughts and actions away from negativity toward healthier and happier realms.

We each have the freedom to consciously choose to change our perspectives and become more aware of the positive aspects of our lives. This journey of self-discovery begins in the ‘here-and-now,’ which is where all of us really begin to heal. By becoming more aware of your ‘self’ and your inner dialog, as well as learning from and letting go of past issues that do not define who you are now, there is freedom to discover the authentic power and passion that lies within you.

Associations

As reported in USA Today, “Life coaches are a new option for the worried well — those whose lives are only slightly askew. No longer do they need a diagnosis from a psychotherapist who delves into the painful past…they can sign up with an upbeat life coach who becomes a partner in defining a better future.”

As quoted in the New York Times, “Coaches help people accomplish goals as modest as finding an extra 15 minutes a day for relaxation or as monumental as finding the perfect new job.”
