In-Joy with Dawn GrantInteresting how life has its twists and turns...Funny how you can be clear about what you want in life- with goals, focus and direction- moving forward, excited about life as it unfolds, feeling like things couldn’t be any better… then BOOM, a surprise from left field. It is these unexpected challenges that can easily shake you from your strong footing (or the semi-strong footing you were trying to convince yourself you had). Many people would want to give up and feel like no matter how hard they tried they just don’t have what it takes. Saying things like "I give up," "why me," and "I can’t do this any more." But hold on! Let’s step back and out of life for a moment and think about things. Life is not meant to be filled with day after day of free sailing. What would we learn if everyday was easy and breezy? Yah, it may sound ideal. But we truly do learn more from facing challenges then if we never did. In order to have true growth, development, and evolution of our self- we need the lows with the highs. So the real challenge comes from maintaining your solid ground through the lows... to stay positive, stay strong, stay focused, and stay on track. Knowing you have worked hard to get where you are and backsliding would be a waste of time. To tell yourself things like "I will get through this," "I can do this," and "I can do whatever I put my mind to." Have an attitude of "What can I learn from this?" Maintain a level of neutral emotion as you recognize ‘this too shall pass and I will get through it easier if I stay off the pity pot.’ Stay present in each moment and do the best you can as you make decisions based on the goals you desire. Stay strong in your convictions- knowing who you are and what you deserve in life. Each of us is 100% unique- there is no other person on this planet like you- never has been nor ever will be. Embrace your uniqueness... find your sources of joy in life... live each day to its fullest by deliberately and intentionally doing things that make you feel joyful. Life is good- it is what you make it! Life does have its twists and turns- with experience, patience, confidence, and an eye in the present moment- we are able to hit the curve balls that come our way. In-Joy, www.DawnGrant.com After earning a Bachelors in Psychology from Westfield State College, my journey led me to Amelia Island, Florida. In the first few years of my profession, I recognized a strong desire to help people make even more profound changes. So, in 2001, I acquired professional training in hypnosis at Omni Hypnosis Training Center. Enabling me to be a Board Certified Hypnotist, recognized by the National Board of Hypnosis Education and Certification and accredited by the National Guild of Hypnotists as a Certified Hypnotherapist. I have also received advanced training as a Certified Forensic Hypnotist and as a HypnoBirthing Childbirth Educator. I have worked with about a dozen PGA and LPGA Touring Professional Golfers, and I am proud to say I have assisted great golfers like Laura Diaz, Will MacKenzie, Cameron Beckman, and Ted Purdy. I am pleased to announce my work with Vijay Singh on his positive mental attitude and putting that ultimately contributed to two playoff wins and his earning of the 2008 FedEx Cup Championship.
