Episode 36: The Power of Hope – Doug Turner

Hope depends on three factors: 1. Pathway thinking: Can you see at least one path to where you want to go? 2. Agency thinking: Can you picture yourself walking those paths? 3. Goal thinking: Do you have a goal that is really your own? In this time of COVID-19, we all need to find new pathways, as old ones are blocked. When one pathway gets blocked, we can change our energy to follow another. That skill, which preserves hope, will be useful to us throughout life. View Doug’s bio at svchange.come/Doug
