What's Right with Me?

Hello Fellow Travellers-John C here! My email today aims to introduce you to a coaching practice I have launched. I get some of you to have no interest in what I am up to, and I respect that. Unsubscribe. You and I have met over the years in workshops, one-on-one conversations, or ordinary meetings, and you have given me your email address. I want to introduce services that are very important to your well-being. I have studied hard and paid a lot of money to learn to have emotional sobriety and be mindful—two of my signature courses. As you probably know, I have been sober for 50 years. I have invested myself in the 12-steps and did what I expected. Yet, I lived a life of quiet desperation. Negative thoughts, harsh self-criticism and unwelcomed emotions either stopped or slowed my progress. I didn't know what to do. What came naturally was avoidance and suppression of feelings that either I was ashamed of or considered a weakness.

What is predictable are the storms in our lives. We can't prevent them from happening. But how I relate to those storms is clearly in my wheelhouse. Did I have enough resilience and coping strategies to overcome those moments in life that we not preventable, divorce, financial reversal, disappointments etc.? Well, sometimes yes and sometimes no. There are opportunities to handle the hardships better rather than excessive TV watching, overeating food, shopping to feel good or the worst, isolation. What do you do with pain? What are your patterns? Are they life-giving or life-taking?

Two core strengths are learning and curiosity, and I put them to work. I learned so much about mental health and positive psychology; I am a certified mental health coach and positive psychology practitioner. All of this work had nothing to do with genius but had everything to do with pain which stopped me from being vulnerable and authentic. Fear! Fear prevented me from flourishing, and I had to do something. At the age of 74 years, with a lot of recovery experience and professional knowledge, I am prepared to invest myself in similar people. Why delay flourishing and thriving and being a fully functioning human being. These courses will change your life for the better.

Testimony

My experience from the" Freedom Hour" Workshop. This particular workshop was about becoming more conscious of your inner intuition. The exercise we did very clearly showed me my body's physical reactions, which was the best decision for me. The first solution I consciously made to my situation left me anxious and stressed. When I paused and brought my heart into the situation, I was left with peace and serenity. I am consciously practicing this with the decisions I am making this week. An hour well spent; looking forward to next week. Carole F.
