When life gets you down - learn how to bounce back with the...

Buoyancy

Do you feel there's something missing from your life?

Do you sometimes feel hurt, isolated, helpless, sad, like a failure, bored, anxious?
Would you like to live a fuller more meaningful and more complete life?

With the help of the Buoyancy-Optimism Toolkit you can

        o Be happier
        o Be more successful in dealing with life
        o Dispel learned helplessness / depression
        o Play, naturally play to wash away anxiety and isolation
        o Bounce back, the key ingredient for success, to try again
        o Holistically grow a wiser, more creative life
        o Live longer, happier and healthier
        o Grow flexible optimism and stay on top
        o Develop enriched forms of flow, intuition and wisdom
        o Raise your emotional intelligence
        o Be more humorous
        o Broaden your perception, vision and appreciate new ways
        o Wade into crisis, strategy and leadership development
        o Be more adaptable
        o Explore more deeply, looking at newfound strengths
        o Develop your greater self and improve your self esteem
       

Optimists survive and prosper.


The toolkit is designed so that you can simply 'do' the kit, start at the start and work your way through to the end. Or you can use it in chunks. Many people concentrate on the learned helplessness to optimism area, like bees around a honeypot. If you plan to do that, please at least look at the Living Strategy section in the Operacy Toolkit. We recommend that you go through the Five Phases in the kit lightly and fairly quickly, then go around again. And again. Repeating the cycles counts for a lot. And you grow and generate happiness and positive shrug-enhancing material throughout the toolkit.
Or you can just explore and harvest the Operacy toolkit for ways to improve your life, and the lives of others. As you will have seen from the Table of Contents, the Operacy Toolkit has a whole grab bag of tools.

Hell is to drift, heaven is to steer -- George Bernard Shaw


The toolkit will get you doing and thinking and playing and thus generating a true buoyant personality. Side effects are someone who can show higher energy, decisiveness, creativity, social awareness, trust, loving (human and nature), has more fun, and who is responsive to our changing environment.

Our deep intuitive mind finds richer possibilities, ways to be happier, healthier, and more successful, when immersed in a richer environment, and our richest environment is natural.


When you follow your bliss... doors will open where you would not have thought there would be doors; and where there wouldn't be a door for anyone else. --Joseph Campbell


This toolkit is a unique multiculturally aware bliss generator that blends ancient and modern ways, generating coping and success skills leading into personal fulfillment.
