Last Thursday I was writing about hope and the role it plays in creating a meaningful and powerful existence. And, not surprisingly, the work we do plays a large role in how hopeful we are. Spirituality and Health magazine's latest issue looks deeply into hope (just click on the title to visit their site).
Dr. Scioli, the author of the article, feels that each of us can cultivate hope through our intention and practice. He has divided hope into fourteen different aspects, each of which can be rated, cultivated, and experienced fully. Today I'll cover the fourteen hopeful traits as well as looking at some of the KingBio remedies designed to help promote a hopeful outlook on life. Next post I'll detail some of Dr. Scioli's ways to enhance those areas of hopefulness in which we might be lacking.
Here's the 14 hopeful traits:
- Supported Mastery- How confident are you that you can reach your goals?
- Ultimate Ends- How committed are you to your life's mission?
- Basic Trust- Were you raised in a trusting and caring environment? Are you surrounded by trustworthy people?
- Openness- Are you generally open with others?
- Personal Terror Management- How effective are you at reducing your fears and worries?
- Social Terror Management- How trusting are you in the goodwill of others?
- Positive Future- How hopeful do you feel about your future?
- Spiritual Empowerment- How connected do you feel to the greater forces at work in our lives?
- Spiritual Openness- How open are you to spiritual input from a power or force beyond you?
- Mystical Experience- In the right environment, do you feel the presence of a higher power?
- Benign Universe- Do you believe there is goodness in the world?
- Spiritual Terror Management- Do you take comfort and peace from your spiritual beliefs?
- Symbolic Immortality- Do you believe there is life beyond this existence?
- Symbolic Integrity- Are you fulfilling your life's mission?
This is quite a list. Ask yourself these questions and then prioritize which of these hopeful elements you need to work on most. Also give yourself credit for those areas where you are strong. This whole "living" business is tough. When we find moments to be hopeful, they should be celebrated, even if it's only a quiet personal celebration.
If you've been reading my posts, you may know some of the tough times I've gone through just recently. For many months, my hope was at an all time low. But, through working with the Great Smokes Medical Center and by taking some of King Bio's homeopathic remedies, I've been able to regain much of my hopeful attitude.
Currently I'm taking King Bio's SafeCareRx "Grief" and "Guilt" remedies. But, if you're not working with a health care professional, the SafeCareOTC line is available from our website. Here are the remedies that help with creating a hopeful mindset:
- Patience
- Kindness
- Love Your Self
- Embrace Life
- Calm
- Peace: Extreme
- Mind-Body Restore Remedy
- Fearless
- Heal Your Heart
- Forgive Your Self
- Soothe Your Sorrow
- Trust
- Tolerance
- Confidence
- Certainity
You can read more about each of these from the website, but if you have any specific questions, feel free to leave me a comment and I'll help any way I can.
Thanks for coming around. I hope I've been some help.
Be well.
