Program Description

Event Details

How we live - and, most importantly, enjoy - our life depends upon how we view the events we experience and the relationships we develop. Some people cower under an umbrella of pessimism while others choose to dance openly in the sunshine of optimism.

Given the current post pandemic, political upheaval, social unrest financial instability and threats to healthcare insurance, we may see “giving in and giving up” as inevitable in both the present moment and the foreseeable future.

However, behavioral scientists have proven we have the cognitive ability to change our thoughts, beliefs, emotions and behaviors. Since the New Year is traditionally a period of renewal and resolution, there is no better time to commit to living optimistically, despite the unprecedented challenges, than right now as the new year unfolds.

This seminar opens the window on optimistic thinking for those who have yet to experience the joy of a life lived positively and encourages those who are already actively attempting to “stamp out” negativity to continue their quest. This seminar is divided into three segments: lecture, meditation, and question- and-answer period. The topics covered include affirmative thinking, gratitude, forgive-ness, prioritizing happiness, sharing, present-moment living, and positive learning.
