  Finding Clarity in the Darkness

  Michael Pelaez, Owner, Mastery of Self

  TOPIC CATEGORY: Self Improvement

  When we are at our happiest we neglect to fully grasp the vastness of our abundance. That is because most often than not, our happiness comes when we are focused on specific life events - a stable job, home life, and health. We are happiest when those things are in line. When we lose one or all of this our stress, anxiety, and worry kicks up to high gear and it gives way to depression and fear - fear of our future. It does not have to be this way. Loss does not have to cripple us. MORE >

  Being in a "dark" place in our lives does not have become a daunting experience where we lose sight of our blessings. In fact this is the time were we ought to see with the most clarity! I can teach you how. Through my techniques of mindset reframing, Spatial Visualization Technique, and using my Triangle of Healing method, you can gain peace of mind and get back on track to the life you desire.

The tool simulates their proposed solution(s) instantly in “real-time”. MORE >
