What Are *YOUR* Top Character Strengths...? :)

Have you ever taken the fascinating "Survey of Character Strengths" test over at AuthenticHappiness.com? Thanks to Brian Johnson over at PhilosophersNotes.com, I was alerted to this interesting, free little test which takes perhaps 20-30 mins to complete and will reveal *your* top five strengths from 24 postulated key character strengths in life...fun :)
You can access this free test HERE (go to the "Questionnaires" tab and choose "Via Survey of Character Strengths" test) ...and if you're interested, here are my apparent five top character strengths, based on this test:

Hope, optimism, and future-mindedness

Curiosity and interest in the world

Gratitude

Love of learning

Spirituality, sense of purpose, and faith

What about you...??? ;)

My new "Raw Emotions" course at The Academy for Optimal Living is due to start soon, on September the 27th - if you didn't enroll already, here's a reminder of the deeeeeets:
    
I am *SUPER*-excited to announce that I have been invited to teach a course based on my book Raw Emotions this coming autumn for The Entheos Academy for Optimal Living :)  
This Academy is the brain-child of the delightful Brian Johnson of PhilosophersNotes.com and his radiant goddess Alexandra Jaye Johnson of MyGoddessLife.com. I think this Academy is SOOOOOOO COOL :))) ...and I am so thrilled to see how effortlessly this project seems to be unfolding for this dynamic duo - it feels like there is very strong energy from the Universe behind this one... The basic idea of "The Academy" is to serve as a place for people to learn about truly useful information for creating their Optimal Lives for themselves...forget a crusty old university schedule sagging under the weight of physics classes, history lectures and tedious maths tuition and other left-brain blah-blah...this Academy is all about useful, practical, insightful sharing of the yummiest kinds - think classes on nutrition, positive psychology, health and well-being, creativity, meditation, parenting, relationships, spirituality, money, conscious business, sustainability and much more - YEEEEEEEEEE-HAAAAAAH :) ...and all under the loving guidance of various "experts" in each respective field...

The "Raw Emotions" course is set to start on September the 27^th at 7pm Eastern and to run for 8 consecutive Tuesdays at the same time... If you can't make the sessions live, everything will be archived for later access. This course will dive into all of the key concepts of "Raw Emotions", including:

• The Raw Lifestyle and Emotional Healing
• Seven Ways of Eating - The Role of Consciousness in Food Choices
•  Examining Physiological and Psychological Addiction
• Tell-Tale Signs of An Overeater and Creating Our Optimal Vision
• Three Steps to Restructure Emotional Connections to Food
• Exploring the Emotional Detox Process
• Top Tips for Healing
• Maintaining Maintenance

You can check out aaaaaaaaaaaaall the juicy details and get signed up for this autumnal joy class HERE: http://www.entheosacademy.com/course/Raw-Emotions and you can see a short intro video from Brian on the Academy here: http://www.entheosacademy.com - see you "on campus" ;)
    
 
All love and vibrations of pleasant serenity,
