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. Behavioral scientists have proven we have the cognitive ability to change our thoughts, beliefs and behaviors. Since the summer is traditionally a period of renewal and resolution, there is no better time to commit to living optimistically than right now, as summer unfolds. Motivational speaker Constance Hallinan Lagan 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. Topics covered include affirmative thinking, gratitude, forgiveness, prioritizing happiness, sharing, present-moment living, and positive learning. The seminar concludes with a guided visualization meditation. Call to register for this free seminar: 516 735-4133.
