Creating a Private Practive You Will Love revision 1
Beyond Your Vision Board: Creating Your Dream
- What is it that you truly value in your vision?
- Deep in your heart what really matters to you?
- What’s the next step?
- Learn how to put your dreams to action with a plan.
Living life is not always about feeling better, but living better. Fortunately, when you live better, you generally feel better.
In this workshop I will work with you to help you clarify your values and get motivated to improve your physical and mental health. Connecting to your values is like having a compass so you can to live your life in a valued direction. Values clarification is finding your North Star.
Studies show when people understand what is important to them and when they are willing to take effective action in cultivating a life based on their unique set of values, will experience more vitality and life satisfaction. This way of living a rich, full, and meaningful life means you will experience both pleasant and unpleasant feelings.
Setting goals guided by your values will be the first step toward creating a life you love to live.

You’re Not Who You Think You Are
You have probably heard these sayings:
- I think therefore I am.
- Learn to think for yourself.
- Develop your mind.
- Think harder.
Our society teaches us that thinking is the ultimate human ability. We are encouraged to think logically and to think positively. Of course, thinking skills are very important. But, there’s more to you than your thoughts!
In this workshop you will learn how to connect with that part of you that is separate from your thoughts, a part of you that’s able to observe your mind in action, and is able to notice your mind’s habitual and sometimes self-sabotaging patterns. This is your observing self.
In this workshop, you will learn ways to utilize your observing self and develop psychological flexibility. You will learn to free yourself from the limitations of your thinking mind.
Date/Time: TBA
I can bring this workshop to you.

Lady’s – I am so BUMMED I missed the Oct. 17th workshop. My reminder didn’t go off and I forgot all about it. Is there any chance I can attend another workshop you might be holding that will cover the same material ?
Thanks,

Warmly, Brenda
