Emotional Fitness Training
Creating Personal Happiness and Peace of Mind RIGHT NOW
July 17th, 18th, 20th, 2023
Live Session Times 12pm – 3:30pm EST (UTC-5)
Think different. Feel different. Be different. We will give you the keys to unlock the treasure chest inside of you. What is it, you might ask? We call it “Stimulus-Belief-Response.”
It is so darn simple to learn, yet it will transform everything. Yes, everything! Criticism be gone! Victimhood (feeling like a victim) no longer experienced. Free to be you. Free to be happy. Free to experience your own emotional wellbeing.

Fearless
How to Overcome Fear & Anxiety
Registration Coming Soon!
We often use fear as a way to protect ourselves… and as a result, we can paralyze ourselves with that same fear and anxiety!
What if you were able to look at your fears, and stand tall in the face of challenges? Imagine if you were able to ask yourself “How will this strengthen me?” instead of “How will this hurt me?”… GUESS WHAT? YOU CAN!!!

Calm Amid Chaos
How to Stay Comfortable … NO MATTER WHAT!
August 7th – 11th, 2023 Live Session Times: 12pm – 3:00pm EST (UTC-5)
When life seems unpredictable, haphazard, and challenging, wouldn’t it be wonderful to have the tools to stay comfortable and optimistic? We’ll help you find meaning in the chaos and see light where you previously saw darkness.
Over the course of five sessions, you’ll create a personalized plan of action, to help you master the art of staying Calm Amid Chaos.

Say YES to Yourself
How to Hear Your Own Voice and Make Decisions with Confidence & Clarity
June 12th – 15th, 2023 Live Session Times: 12pm – 2:30pm EST (UTC-5)
From the time we are children, we are taught to stamp out our inner voice and conform to the voices of others. As adults, this can lead to great challenges when it comes time to make important decisions or simply to hear our own voice (and what we truly want) over the voices of everyone else.
This is especially critical when we are at a crossroads or time of challenge, when our own voice can seem to be overwhelmed by others’ opinions and emotions.

Make All Relationships Easier
With Friends. With Family. With Co-Workers. With Significant Others.
June 26, 27 & 29, 2023 Live Session Times: 12pm – 3:00pm EST (UTC-5)
Nobody said relationships were easy, right? Well, what if we could change that? What if you could learn simple, but completely new techniques for relating to the people in your life that made the hard bits much easier and the easy bits much sweeter?
Of course relationships can feel challenging. No one ever teaches us how to communicate with the people that we interact with, how to navigate conflict, or how to connect in a loving and caring way (especially when the other person isn’t being loving or caring).
But this Option Institute® course will.
