Happiness & Personal Development: It's All About Beliefs - Option Institute

http://www.option.org/happiness-hits -- The Option Institute's HAPPINESS HITS Video Series -- Barry Neil Kaufman, best selling author of Happiness Is A Choice and Son-Rise: The Miracle Continues and the Co-Founder of The Option Institute, The Son-Rise Program®, and the Autism Treatment Center of America™ explores the idea that our personal beliefs are powerful in supporting or limiting our happiness and personal development. Whether dealing with life challenges such as the diagnosis of a child with autism, or cancer, or simply wanting to be happier and more confident, the beliefs we hold create the lens through which we perceive the world. Change your beliefs -- change the world! The programs at The Option Institute and The Option Process® Dialogue will help you do just that.

Imagine being able to maintain an inner quiet and strength in the face of challenging and seemingly incomprehensible events. Not by hiding from them or ignoring them, but by facing them unflinchingly and with ease. In the Calm Amid Chaos Program you will develop a foundational system of interlocking beliefs that enable you to stand easy in the face of whatever the world throws at you.

"My life seemed so chaotic until I took the Calm Amid Chaos Program. Nothing about my life will ever be chaotic or seem random again. Everything in life is continually changing, so I won't be resisting anymore but I will change with it instead ... and love myself and the changes in the process. "
~Murry Epple, Secretary/Treasurer, Canada

What you will learn in Calm Amid Chaos:
• No Nonsense: Shift your point of view so that everything actually makes sense -- take in the world through a powerful perspective that lets you find meaning and beauty in seemingly senseless events
• Positive Bias: Uncover preconceptions that negatively bias your spin on life; replace them with perspectives that let you see light where you previously saw darkness
• Like a Rock: Forge a foundational system of beliefs that is unshakable in the face of adversity and challenge
• Practical & Personal: On top of this foundation, construct your own practical everyday philosophy that will take you wherever you want to go with your life

You'll also learn the basics of The Option Process® Dialogue, an innovative technique to replace beliefs that have limited your happiness and enable you to live your life with clarity and ease.

"Calm Amid Chaos has provided the opportunity for me to look deeper within myself and understand and examine the beliefs that have been the underpinnings of how I lived my life; largely unhappy, angry and fearful. The class has also provided the framework and tools to replace those beliefs with a set that will give me the opportunity to live life with joy, strength, intention and peace while still being true to my core values. I have gained some very significant personal insights and believe this to have been a real breakthrough week for me." -Scott Robinson, IT Management, NC

@optionvideodept If one was a slave would you suggest they are choosing to see themselves that way and just brighten up? Or would you say your not a slave but you are caught in a system which sees and needs you as a slave? Just because we live A World does not mean that its not within The World or a consensus reality of society.

Forcing yourself probably will not work. But doing self-studentship can be so useful. What do you want to believe? And why do you want that belief?

Then find the evidence to support that belief. The Option Institute can help.

Look at our website and check out all the empowering programs we offer.

How do you force yourself to start thinking there are people who want to help me when that hasn't been my experience? It's hard to just will myself to believe it.

This place is great. I am shy and did not participate all that much. Their meals were great and they included one thing I love to eat. garlic!!! I let myself go and filled up on garlic even with breakfast. Something wonderful happened. I found that in spite of my odor everyone was accepting of me and talked to me. Even when they were uncomfortable they spoke to me. At the end of one week, because of their unconditional acceptance I broke out of my shell was cured of all my fears. Thanks Bears!
