Do You Need a Change of Direction?
Remember, You are not alone! So many of us have gone through the Change Process. Yet today, we are Stronger, Healthier, and Happier.
Midlife and Beyond Changes:
- Change: Sometimes, we have a choice to change; sometimes, things happen to us, and our lives change. It can be the death of family members or close friends—illness for yourself or relatives.
- Change: You want something different but need to know what and how to get there.
- Change: You know what you want but must figure out how.

Optimism, Joy, and Happiness, Meditation, and Mindfulness
Cultivating Optimism.
- Positive thinking does not mean you ignore life's difficulties.
- It means you have rewired your brain to handle the challenges better.
- It helps to have good tools to use when life is hard.
What’s the difference between
Joy and Happiness?
- Joy and happiness are wonderful feelings to experience, but they are very different.
- Joy is more consistent and is cultivated internally. It comes when you make peace with who you are, why, and how you are.
- Happiness tends to be externally triggered and is based on other people, things, places, thoughts, and events. (By Psychologies)
Meditation and Mindfulness
- Meditation is often thought of as a path to self-awareness. In addition, it can be a path to mental and physical health.
- Mindfulness is the awareness that arises through paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment, and non-judgmentally. (Jon Kabat-Zinn)
