Dear Friends,
How are you coming along with your plans for 2009, so far? I once saw a study that said the third week of January was the most dangerous time for people to potentially abandon their New Year's Resolutions. Has that been true for you?
Today's issue is all about optimism, and on that note I'd like to encourage you to pick yourself up and try again, if you're close to giving up on a major (or minor) lifestyle change or dream. Almost no one succeeds at something the very first time they try, but the ones who do make it happen are the ones who pick themselves up again (and again, and again) and keep going. Talk to yourself optimistically about your ability to "make it", and remind yourself of the invaluable lessons about yourself, and life, that you'll gain just from experiencing the process.
If you have a hard time being optimistic (and many people today do, especially if you watch a lot of CNN, aka "constantly negative news"), there are steps you can follow to switch to a more positive outlook, and even benefit your health in the process. Read more about this in today's feature article: Be More Optimistic! You'll be Healthier and Happier.
Also, I'd like to let you know about a special *F.REE TELESEMINAR* this Tuesday, January 27. Coach Carey Powell will be interviewing me, and several other "fearless", successful women from across North America. Our goal is to empower and inspire you to make 2009 your most fearless, authentic year ever. I would love to "see" you there! For more information, see the featured section in this email.
Here's to your best, most fearless year ever!
Susan Biali

| Be More Optimistic! You'll be Healthier, and Happier |
Have you ever had an experience that goes something like this: Something difficult, painful, or unwanted arrives in your life. You complain, worry or even cry about it for days/weeks/months. Then, all of a sudden, the sun comes out from behind the clouds and you realize that this "terrible situation" has actually brought a glorious gift to your life.
This gift might be: a priceless lesson learned; a skill you can now teach others; a beautiful connection with another person or group; or, perhaps this event in your life set up circumstances that created a wonderful surprise in your life, perhaps even something you've always wished for.
How silly, or regretful, did you feel, after, after having spent so much time and energy being upset about this supposedly "unwelcome" event?
I've had that experience, so many times. As an example, if I could go back in time and have the option of reliving my 20's without having the experience of depression, I would still choose to relive the depression (as much as I begged God to be free of it, at the time). Now I know that if I hadn't had that experience, I'd probably still be an Emergency Medicine doctor, and probably would never have started dancing.
And as for flamenco - if I hadn't had the horrific relationship breakup that happened to me when I was 31 (which I was sure was the "worst thing ever") I would never have taken up flamenco. That "jerk" was an angel in disguise who took me to my first flamenco show, and later made me so mad that I insisted on learning a dance that didn't require a man! As I see it now, it was all good.
That's the attitude of optimists: it's all good! Another great optimistic phrase I learned in Mexico, which me and my husband use every time it seems like something bad is happening, is this: por algo pasan las cosas. Everything happens for a reason! So, we always look for the good in the bad. And surprise! We find it.
I definitely had to learn to be an optimist. So did psychologist Dr. Martin Seligman, who's probably the all-time worldwide authority on optimism, and also happens to be the founder of the field of positive psychology.
In an interview on eqtoday.com, Dr. Seligman actually said: "I'm a born pessimist". When asked to choose his most important piece of research, something that he feels absolutely everyone should know about, he said this:
