Global Motivational Speaker and Personal Accountability Coach Andrea Mason (andreamasons.com) talks about the Power of Forgiveness as a Healthy Anger Tool. We talk about the healing benefits of forgiving yourself, as well as others. Changing to more positive thinking patterns helps the healing process and forgiveness can change thinking patterns.

Forgiveness is a powerful tool in any realm of success, be it be relationships, families, or workplaces, but it’s often understated. Forgiveness is not forgetting but letting go, and when we forgive, we not only learn from the lesson and but also forgive ourselves. Join me in this power-packed episode as we discuss forgiveness with Andrea Mason, the founder of Andreamasons.com. Andrea is a social worker, motivational speaker, and personal coach, and her mission is to help people achieve personal freedom through forgiveness.

Andrea was born in Columbia during the cartel, and her parent had to give her up for adoption to give her a better life in America. As she grew up, she struggled with abandonment and fitting in a culture that bullied her due to her unique physical and emotional features. This tolled her true identity, career, and relationships, and to thrive; she had to forgive. In her new life, Andrea has been assisting people from all walks of life to overcome their fears and create the best version of themselves through the power of healing and forgiveness.

From the 2021 Work from Home Self Care Conference, Mindfulness Trainer Kelsey Mazeski talks about reducing your stress using simple meditation and mindfulness techniques with simple daily routine activities. It starts with mindful morning routines (and the night before as well), mindful listening and becoming a mindful single-tasker for more focus and productivity. Multi-tasking is a myth!

it's summer and hopefully you'll get to take some time for yourself. Don't forget to pack your Healthy Anger Tools.

There's a much better way to help your kids learn to be more responsible, respectful and accountable. Be assertive rather than aggressive.
