The best solution for people with difficulty managing mood swings, anxieties, and impulsivities is not a pill. It’s the power of their thoughts harnessed effectively with the goal of maximizing positive outcomes in all aspects of their lives.

With the proper set of psychological tools, one can learn to stabilize emotional states amidst stress and chaos, navigate difficulties and obstacles in one’s life path, effectively communicate with others and strengthen relationships, and eliminate self-sabotaging behaviors.

If it’s true that most people take psychiatric medications because of difficulties regulating their emotions, anxieties and impulses, then when they are taught skills to effectively self-regulate, they will no longer need to depend upon and can safely taper themselves off their psychiatric medications.

The Wellness Forum’s new program, “Emotional Wellness 101,” was specifically designed for this purpose. It can also be used to great benefit by people who are not on psychiatric medications but are dissatisfied with their lives and their relationships.

With emotional wellness skills, people can effectively manage their emotional life, end self-sabotaging behaviors, and achieve sustainable happiness.

Dr. Pam Popper’s interview with Walter E. Jacobson MD, discusses “Emotional Wellness 101” in more detail: http://www.wellnessforum.com/Audio/DrPopperInterviewDrWJacobson20130117.mp3

Depressed?  Anxious?  Angry?  Been told you have ADD or ADHD? Don’t want to take medications but are having difficulty coping?

Perhaps you’re coping sufficiently but want to develop the necessary skills to more effectively regulate your emotions and improve your lives and relationships?

Perhaps you’re taking medications and want to stop, but are afraid you’ll decompensate and relapse if you try to stop them without having tools to regulate your emotions, anxieties and impulses?

Perhaps, appreciating the power of the mind to have a positive influence on the immune system, disease states, and chronic pain, you want to develop cognitive techniques that will maximize your health, vitality and longevity?

When we are having difficulty forgiving others, we focus on our blessings and on being grateful for what we have in our lives despite what has been done to us. This can take the sting out of any offense and make it easier for us to let go of our resentments in order to forgive.

It is my belief in illusions that makes them real. So hypnotized with the belief that I am a body born to die, so identified with my ego, an invention of my frightened Mind, I have forgotten who I really Am: Pure Consciousness. Eternal Spirit. Immortal and invulnerable. With the power of Love within me to create reality. With the power of love within me to move mountains, to turn water into wine, to fill endless barrels with bread and fish, to heal the sick and raise the dead.

Why I Wrote Forgive To Win!

I wrote Forgive To Win! because during my many years helping people as a board-certified psychiatrist, I realized that the cause of most people’s unhappiness, depression, anxiety, anger, and frustration with their health, their relationships, their career and their finances is self-sabotage.

Most people get in their own way. They don’t do things they know they need to do and when they do take action they make poor choices that impact negatively on their lives and keep them from attracting and manifesting all that they desire and aspire to accomplish.

When I started teaching my patients the secret to ending their self-sabotaging behaviors (spiritual techniques and cognitive tools designed to increase self-esteem and eliminate guilt, shame and self-loathing deeply embedded in the unconscious mind), their emotional turmoil subsided and their lives got better!

I realized that the Forgiveness Diet, my structured 90-day program for ending self-sabotage, was something that could benefit a great many people, particularly those who repeatedly buy self-help books but don’t get the results that they desire.

My Forgiveness Diet is not complicated. And it works! With diligent practice and persistence, you can:

Be successful in your career.

Generate wealth & prosperity.

Be successful in your relationships.

Generate love and harmony.

Increase self-confidence.

Eliminate fear and worry.

Be happy and healthy.

Lose weight. Keep weight off.

Get in shape.

Live long and live well.

When you re-program your mind to neutralize your negative, harsh Inner Critic, that voice inside yourself that subconsciously causes you to sabotage your opportunities and best efforts, EVERYTHING CHANGES!

Opportunities miraculously appear. Positive people are attracted to you who cooperate with you, share their blessings, and help you to succeed and prosper! There are NO LIMITS to what you can accomplish with Forgive To Win!”

As you engage in the Forgiveness Diet to eliminate your self-sabotaging behaviors and manifest the life you desire and deserve, you role model right-minded actions for others, you transform others, and you help to move the whole of humanity towards universal peace and prosperity. That’s serious icing on the cake, my friends.

DO IT NOW!

Today’s the day to make a renewed commitment to your happiness and success. GO RIGHT NOW to http://forgivetowin.homestead.com, order your copy of Forgive To Win!, immediately download all the FABULOUS BONUS GIFTS which are AVAILABLE TODAY ONLY, and watch your world get better!

Our ego is threatened by our desire to accept and forgive others. Our ego is driven by our fear and insecurity. We need to give it no power to influence us. We do this by reminding ourselves daily, every moment, with every choice we make that forgiveness is the key to happiness, forgiveness is the key to success, forgiveness is the key to inner peace.

Although it is normal to feel blue occasionally, as a consequence of the trials and tribulations of our lives, when the blues don’t go away and start affecting how we feel about ourselves and how we transact in the world, it behooves us to consider the possibility that we may be becoming clinically depressed.

If this is the case, it’s best that we seek help sooner rather than later because the longer we wait, the more debilitating the depression can become, in terms of disrupting all aspects of our lives, including our health, livelihood and relationships. Additionally, the longer we wait, the harder it is to treat.

The first step in dealing with depression is to recognize its signs and symptoms. In the next few minutes, you will learn:

• the emotional and physical symptoms of depression;
• how a depressed person interacts with others around them;
• the various types of suicidal ideation, any one of which needs to be taken seriously.
