Conscious Creation: Attitude Reflection & Creating Today
Valley goal strategist, Nancy Nordstrom, brings
her newest program, Conscious Creation, to the Tempe Public Library. In this
two-part series she discusses the power of perception in creating the image
we hold of ourselves and how it has created the struggles we face that
prohibit us from following through on our life desires. She then follows
with simple techniques on reversing these misperceptions to create positive,
consistent forward movement in our lives. First in the series is “Attitude
Reflection” where participants will discover dream destroying behavior that
many of us participate in that prevent us from achieving goals. This is
followed by “Creating Today” where techniques will be shared in creating not
only a more productive attitude, but actually creating a more positive
outcome each day. You created the life you currently have, now learn how to
do so effectively to get the life you want.
