Esperanza Hope To Cope: Unleash Your Wellness Within!

Does this guy look familiar?

Just in case he doesn’t – this is the statue of David by Leonardo Da Vinci!

The story goes that Leonardo himself said he didn’t ‘create’ David but that
David was already in the marble and he simply “released him from the
block of marble.”

So why am I writing about David and Leonardo Da Vinci?

Because I happen to believe the same thing about wellness!

I believe we all have wellness inside us!

ALL OF US!

And it requires the “right tools” to release it!

If you don’t have the “right tools“, then it is impossible to ‘release it.’

So, for 25 years I have been teaching people the “tools” they need so they
can finally let wellness out! I call them LifeTOOLS!

This is also one of the important reasons why we are so fortunate to have
Esperanza and HopetoCope.com.

They give us another way of getting the “tools” needed to unleash our
wellness within!

Many people believe that if they have an illness than they CAN’T have
wellness too.

This is simply WRONG!

Having wellness DOES NOT mean the illness is no longer there.

I’d like to share the definition of wellness I use & teach. It comes from the
National  Wellness Institute:

“Wellness is an active process through which people
become more aware, and make choices toward, a
more successful existence.”

Key here: successful existence!  

What this is for one person may be very different for another!

YOU get to define what this is for you!

I am grateful to have the opportunity to share my LifeTOOLS with you
here through this blog every week.

My hope is you are using them to….

Unleash your wellness within!

What is a successful existence for you?
