Make Great Decisions!

Since beliefs are mostly "opinions masquerading as facts," people must decide what they want to think for a successful life. To make a decision on what to think and do, people need to consider:

1) What experience they want and is it realistic.

2) Do they have enough information on all the possibilities and have they considered the consequences.

3) When people are unemotional and objective, they think much better, so always take a relaxation break to calm down if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions Continued - How do I start?

The first session can begin by proposing options on any current difficulties and to gently discuss the unbeneficial opinions that surface to demonstrate examples. This is the process I call Reality Checking. Then I hand out the information concerning this method and discuss it.

The next step is the first exercise needed, which is usually to identify unbeneficial beliefs and apply the best method(s) to change them. Here, too, we discuss examples on how to formulate beneficial beliefs from ones that are not.

These methods are self-empowering because once you learn them; you always have the skills to combat the many difficulties that occur in life. This will reduce stress and bring tranquility as these are applied.

Working on Inner Peace - Frequently Asked Questions

How long will this take?


This depends on your goal, the amount of effort invested and how conducive your environment is for learning. To learn a method could take from ½-1 hour and then lots of practice on your behalf.

The harder part is not the learning but the implementation of it, which requires lots of repeating a beneficial thought for changing from maybe 20-60 times a day. This might be needed from a few days to months, depending on the complexity of the belief being addressed.

For me, the biggest difficulty was realizing at a deep level that most of what I believed as truths were really opinions masquerading as facts. Someone else’s beliefs were the foundation for my reality and to create my own thinking required an evaluation of each thought, especially the emotion-packed ones. And, of course, this takes time.

What is a Tranquility Advisor?

I think of myself as a wise friend, mentor or teacher that enjoys guiding others and imparting life skills for changing a person’s thinking to achieve personal happiness and success. People have been changing and developing their minds for a very long time.

This knowledge I have gathered is from thousands of years old until now. These methods can be taught to anyone; individuals, students, parents, families, couples, employees, groups, etc.
