IMPROVE YOUR MENTAL HEALTH IN ONE HOUR
Presented by John Grotgen, Ph.D.
This hour will present some really good ideas and insights that students themselves have developed. These ideas are presented unsystematically and range from “responsibility, choice and worry” to the number 168, to “emotional geometry”, to “care-fronting”, to love, acceptance and forgiveness, to “preparation does not equal performance”, and so on. Any one of the ideas put into practice can result in a more enjoyable life.
