Positivity Training

How to do Positivity Training (You'll need a little notebook):
  • Each night when you get into bed, take a few minutes to reflect on your day.
  • Jot down 3 things that were good about today. 
  • It doesn't matter how big or how small they are, you are not in competition with anyone, not even yourself. Don't compare today to yesterday.
  • Notice how it feels in your body to think of the good in your day.
  • Hold this feeling as you drift into sleep.

When you think a certain way for a long time, you strengthen the pathways in your brain that run these thoughts, and it takes deliberate attention and perseverance to form new pathways.
This week's practice is scientifically proven to forge new, more positive pathways in the brain, helping you be more naturally aware of the good that already exists in your life.
It's a practice we do at dinner every night at all our retreats and workshops, and clients report experiencing a profound shift in how they view their day as a result.

Relationship Difficulties?

3/22/2018

0 Comments

 
What do you do when one of your relationships is not going well? 
How do you get your other half, family member, or co-worker to stop being so annoying/ be more considerate/ fulfil your needs?

Well, I have bad news, and good news. The bad news is that you are probably never going to get another person to behave exactly as you want them to.
The good news is, that you don't have to! It is entirely within your power to create more harmonious relationships, whether the other person is willing or not.

Hear from Gad and Anne, who discuss their own experiences of bringing healing to their relationships using the Six Steps.
(Gad works at our Retreat Centre in Costa Rica, and Anne facilitates the weekly Circles, and Workshops in Vancouver. They will come together with Diederik Wolsak this summer to facilitate the workshops in the South of France.)

​Choose-Again Reflections for Gainesville, FL, February 2016.

GRADES
Instruction (Diederik & Claudette) = A+
Hospitality (Bob & Sandy) = A+
Accommodations = A+
Community Friendliness (13 group members) = A+

“Like Jacob wrestling with the Angel, I have regularly been exasperated and challenged with integrating ACIM into my personal and professional life. At the Choose-again residential in Gainesville, Florida, in the safety, support, and guidance of Diederick, Claudette and other
group participants, I was gifted with an immense treasure — "I am not my stories (beliefs), I am love and only love." Being a witness to other participants being guided to challenge the beliefs that limited their happiness, allowed me to challenge my earliest judgmental stories (beliefs) of myself and return to recognizing my true identity as Love.
