The SonRise Project creator Kelli Richardson Lawson introduces Sylvia High. Sylvia is a master life coach with over 30 years experience and is the founder and CEO of Aiming High Inc. She is also an author of several books including The Little Book of Big Questions, a Journal of Self-Discovery. In this episode, Sylvia talks about the importance of staying senior to your circumstances. She says it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and experience tremendous stress due to the challenges, disappointments and the emotions that come with raising children who are struggling with addiction or mental wellness issues. Sylvia says in those circumstances we learn to become intentional in our thinking and reprogram our thoughts. She believes if we step back and observe the thoughts rather than react to them, we realize we are not our thoughts and we don’t let them control us. She says it’s critical that we find the positive energy in the midst of life’s challenges and shift from fear to faith.
