I love this quote from one of my mentors;
"There's no need to wait for bad things to be over. Change now. Love now. Live now. Don't wait for people to give you permission to live, because they won't." Kris Carr
I would add, don't wait for your situation or circumstance to get better/be perfect before you start to live or pursue your goal, because it will never be the perfect time/situation.
Do it now, anyway!
Can you feel that energy? Do you need support to feel it?
The world's on fire, but there you are, still holding the door for someone. Gold star.

12 Principles for Attitudinal Healing.
Today letâs think about things we can do to become more happy, content, and at peace.
Iâve recently been reading some of the work of Dr. Lee Jampolsky (Psychologist and author).
He believes and I agree, that we donât have to make huge, dramatic changes in our lives to improve our happiness and well-being (as well as that of those around us). Itâs the little, kind, consistent things we do that can make all the difference in achieving peace of mind.
Dr. Jampolsky suggests 12 principles to keep in mind/practise to achieve âattitudinal healingâ.
Principle One; The essence of our being is LOVE.
To feel loved we must feel truly heard and to give love we must listen actively and authentically.
Principle Two; Health IS inner peace and healing IS letting go of fear.
Principle Three; Giving and receiving are the same thing. If you give unconditional love, you will receive it.
Principle Four; We CAN let go of the past and the future.
Principle Five; NOW is the only time there is and each moment is for giving.
Principle Six; We can learn to love ourselves and others by forgiving rather than judging.
Principle Seven; We can become love finders rather than fault finders.
Principle Eight; We can choose and direct ourselves to be peaceful inside regardless of whatâs happening outside.
Principle Nine; We are both students and teachers of each other.
Principle Ten; We can focus on the whole of life rather than the fragments.
Principle Eleven; Since love is eternal, death need not be viewed with fear.
Principle Twelve; We can always perceive ourselves and others as either extending love or calling for help.
Think about these ideas and how they could make a difference in your attitude toward life and therefore your life itself.
Practise these principles of attitudinal healing daily.
If ever you canât think of a reason to smile, know that the solution is within you always: To Extend Love.
If you want to smile from your heart, do something kind with no expectation of recognition or reward.
All we need to do is share kindness, show compassion and understanding to those we know and all those we donât, including all of nature.
Dr Jampolskysâ thinking is very similar to the concept of âpaying it forwardâ.
Choose one person you know and one person you donât know, and do something kind for them without letting them know it was you. Itâs fun! It will make you feel happier and one person at a time, it will change the world.
May we all smile upon each other and know we are loved.

I have found Karen Salmansohnsâ discussion helpful;
Are you struggling with anxiety... insomnia.... focusing... fatigue?
Do you regularly feel a lot of anger... sadness,... confusion...resentment?
Do small things sometimes trigger big emotions causing blow-ups or complete shut-downs?
If you relate to any of the above...chances are your emotional cup is overly full...but not with good emotions!
You might be struggling with something called...."Emotional Debt" an accumulation of unresolved emotions
Emotional Debt occurs when you don't take the healing time needed to fully identify and acknowledge your negative emotions.
You push your uncomfortable emotions down... and try to hide from your pain.
Many of us are carrying significant emotional debt.
Over time, these negative emotions will either...
⢠get repressed... and create more emotional issues like depression and anger... plus... even create physical symptoms... like digestive issues, fatigue, sleeping problems & headaches
⢠Or get released... so you can heal and feel free
Yes, there will be times in your life ... just like with credit cards ...when you need to accrue some emotional debt. Often when you first experience upsetting events... you're not in a strong enough place to deal with your emotions
But eventually....You need to deal with these emotions....and give yourself the time, space and self-care needed to reflect on what happened.
Eventually you must face your emotions.. understand them... heal your wounds, and release the pain.
So, how can you get out of emotional debt?
Unfortunately we live in a world that doesn't promote vulnerability.
We're told not to cry. We're told to hurry up and heal quickly, or push that pain away/down inside.
As a result, our emotions can feel scary... and even shameful.
And so Emotional Debt keeps building up ...like compound interest on a credit card .... unless, you take time to acknowledge your accumulated emotional pain ...and heal it.
Unfortunately many of us simply don't want to deal with our uncomfortable emotions.
Many people admit ....They don't like to talk about unhappy memories and emotional pain... because it's uncomfortable... and even scary!
But you have to be willing to look at your pain... to release your pain... so it doesn't keep hurting you.
⢠Plus you need to learn ways to STOP accruing more emotional debt into your life!
⢠Thatâs where counselling comes in.
Yes, it doesnât feel good to feel ashamed... sad... resentful... when you're taking the time to explore and release your Emotional Debt. Counselling is a safe place to explore and release.
Something really amazing happens when you just sit with your pain... and try to understand its purpose in your life.
⢠This pain goes away.
⢠You grow.
⢠You witness how strong you truly are.
⢠You turn your "crisis pain" into "crisis fuel" - and your life begins to shift in amazing ways!
Over thinking is one of the biggest causes of unhappiness!
Because overthinking is almost exclusively negative, self-bashing thinking!
Our egoic, logical mind thinks if we rehash the shame, and re-punish ourselves for it, weâll somehow learn to do better. But learning theory has proved, berating/punishing ourselves doesnât teach or motivate us. It just makes us feel worse and more worthless & helpless ⌠it actually stops us from growing and getting better!
Please notice your own negative overthinking.
Awareness is the first step to everything!
Rooting for you to live a life you truly love!

So True! It doesn't mean not to be accountable, but DO SOMETHING to change your future behaviour. Feeling 'crappy' only paralyzes you into doing nothing.
Guilt is wasted energy. It changes nothing but your ability to grow. Forgive yourself. Learn the lesson. Then rise up and move forward in love.

Tough times, these days -- but there will always be challenges.
Neale Donald Walsch said,"Burying your head in the sand in the name of "staying
positive" is not a good strategy. Wearing blinders
rather than looking right at what's going on right now
is not the way to create your vision for tomorrow.
Sculptors have to look at the block and begin cutting
parts of it away before their vision emerges in the
marble. Look directly at the block if you want to
create the art.
I agree, We have the strength, skills, potential and power to meet the challenges and overcome them.

Todays' thought provoking quote:
"We are generally afraid to become that which we can glimpse in our most perfect moments" Abraham Maslow
That's often the biggest challenge to stepping into our greatness.

I write this to YOU, through the inspiration of Mel Robbins because I so strongly believe it!
These days, it's too easy to get so busy that you forget the little things and small actions that actually mean everything.
And that brings me to you, my friend.
Thank you for showing up for yourselfâday after dayâwhen itâs hard, when youâre tired, or when it feels like nothing is changing.
These little steps youâre taking even when itâs hard, are adding up, I promise you.
Please believe this;
When you work on building a life that feels meaningful, it actually begins to change everything, day by day.
You begin by intentionally showing up differently.
Gently, slowly but consistently, you bring more love, more joy, more resilience, and more possibility into your life.
And when you do that, you donât just change your life; you make the world around you brighter for everything and every person/group/community with whom you interact.
So today, my friend, I want to remind you of something: youâre not alone, you are more powerful and significant and your small changes make more difference than you may realize!
And Iâm so grateful weâre walking this journey together.

Ancient Chinese proverb;
When there is light in the soul, there will be beauty in the person.
When there is beauty in the person, there will be harmony in the house.
When there is harmony in the house, there will be order in the nation.
When there is order in the nation, there will be peace in the world.
Still applies today. We must start with ourselves!

As Mel Robbins says,
In case nobody tells you today, let me be the first to say, that I care about YOU and I believe in your ability to create the life YOU want!

In 2019 we are celebrating serving Lanark County and West Ottawa for Ten Years!
People have asked, âSo, whatâs special about the CPPC Centre, what makes your practice different?â
Allison is really passionate about leading people who feel lost and damaged, back to health, strength and competence!
âAt the CPPC Centre, we professionally guide clients to where THEY want to go. We find and use strategies that suit the client, rather than expecting the client to accept any particular theoretical framework. As well, I chose to rent an apartment for my office, because it allows more relaxation and room for individuals or families. Child-care doesnât need to be a financial or physical barrier to coming for sessions. Kids can do homework /read or relax and play with their own electronics in the family room, while parents or other siblings have their session. The place feels like visiting a friend rather than going to a clinic; of course there is a washroom in the apt. so no one has to go out and down the hall. There is also a small kitchen so Moms can warm baby bottles and we can offer a glass of water or tea/coffee for clients comfort. Momâs with nursing babies are welcome! Also because there is no large external sign it is very confidential and discreet Our parking is also free and discreet. And finally, our sessions are a full hour, not the usual 50 minutes.
Our one limitation is, at present we cannot provide wheelchair accessibility.
