Think of the Opportunities; Imagine the Possibilities

“If you embrace possibility thinking, your dreams will go from molehill to mountain size, and because you believe in possibilities, you put yourself in position to achieve them.” ~ John Maxwell

We asked our participants this week, “What’s your favorite part of winter?” We heard everything from the glistening of new fallen snow to getting cozy with a warm beverage to new beginnings. I LOVE thinking about winter as a new beginning – a fresh start!

And a fresh start means new opportunities and possibilities. This topic is one of my favorites because both opportunity and possibility expand on the growth mindset and on HOPE. Having a growth mindset allows us to pursue the opportunities of today – and tomorrow – with limitless possibilities and hope for the future.

DECEMBER 2023 NEWSLETTER: Looking Inward to Look Outward

“The person who looks outward dreams, the person who looks inward awakens.” ~ Carl Jung

We often think of our OUTLOOK on life as looking outward or looking at our prospects for the future. What if instead we started by looking WITHIN ourselves? With mindfulness, YOU can cultivate the outlook YOU desire.

Throughout December we looked at the theme of outlook through the lens of 1) having a hope-centered mindset; 2) cultivating inner peace; and 3) embracing possibility thinking.

Your outlook is connected to your resilience. You CAN grow your hope and develop a more positive outlook - you can CHOOSE the mindset you're going to use. Having a growth mindset reminds us that anything is possible ... and that's filled with SO many possibilities!

Your outlook is likely ever-changing or evolving. If you've always wondered if you are an optimist, pessimist, realist or opportunist, here's a link to a fun (quick) quiz that might give you some insight into your outlook!

Possibilities to Pursue, and Opportunities to Succeed

“Turn your obstacles into opportunities and your problems into possibilities.”

– Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart

Last week, we talked about how we all have a choice in the way we respond to stress – we can either let it get the best of us, or we can have the courage to tackle it head on with our best coping strategies. This week’s topic, opportunity and possibility, also relates to the choices we make. As the quote above implies, our choices and our positive mindset can determine whether something is an obstacle or an opportunity, a problem or a possibility.

Providing an Open Environment to Reimagine the Possibilities

When thinking about this week’s subject, opportunity and possibility, I was reminded of something we recently experienced at Courage to Caregivers. It involved reframing, pivoting, and reimagining our possibilities to turn them into a new opportunity to support unpaid family caregivers to prevent burnout.

Get Unstuck, and Pursue Your Possibilities

Here’s a favorite recipe of mine that’s great not only during the holiday season, but any time of the year: Take an open mind, add a dash of positivity, and top it off with a whole lot of growth mindset. What you get is a big bowl full of opportunity and unlimited possibility.

As caregivers, we can sometimes feel that our possibilities are limited and our growth opportunities are nonexistent. This can make us feel stuck … like our caregiving is holding us back from the things that could help us achieve our goals, pursue our dreams, and make our lives better.
