Positivit FORMULA
Study the "POSITIVIT RESILIENCE" flip book before you move through the formula.
You have moved out of your OK Zone because you are faced with what we can call "challenges". Any one or more challenges can push you into the High Zone or the Low Zone where you feel stuck.
The goal of POSITIVIT FORMULA is to change your body sensations, feelings, thoughts and beliefs from negative energy to calm and peaceful energy...to move you from the High Zone or the Low Zone back into the Resilient/OK Zone. Following these 5 steps can be awesome. It takes a little time and effort, but it really works! Try it!
