Hope Immersion Retreat (HIR) Workshops
Mothers In Crisis encourages everyone to Think, Speak, and Imagine Hope. By that we mean look for hope in every challenging situation.
When you “think hope” you can find solutions.
You can train your brain to Think Hope by taking Hope Breaks.
Steps to Taking Hope Breaks:
- Schedule breaks into your normal routine in five-minute increments
- Find a quiet place
- Take five to ten deep breaths
- Think about good things happening, instead of the worst-case scenario think of the best-case scenario, think about all the great things that could happen and will happen
- Make an affirmation and speak it out loud, example (I will be okay) (Things are going to be alright)
- Repeat as often as needed
Let Hope Take You Higher!
Hope is like helium in your balloon of faith. Let hope take you Higher today!
Studies show that you can learn to become more hopeful it’s not a personality trait because you can train your brain to think hope.
Studies show that hopeful people excel in life, live longer, and live well.
How? When you began to think hope it causes you to rise above the situation just like the lepers in 2 Kings 7:3 that said, "Why stay here until we die?” They decided to get up and take a chance by going into the danger zone.
It only takes a spark to illuminate your path, Hope is on the way!
Hope spreads like wildfire. You can be the one to light the match by speaking hope.
How? While others are speaking negatively you can share an idea that can turn the whole situation around and add one three letter word, "Yet!" It hasn't happened yet but it's coming.
Let's Have a Hope Chat
Seven steps to having Successful Hope Chats: Identify, Prepare, Go, Listen, Encourage, Empower, and Wrap-Up
1. Identify Someone Who Needs Hope
2. Prepare yourself for the Conversation
Turn on your belief that things can get better
Put on your unconditional love
3. Go to them and look them in the eyes and say something like, “I care about you and wanted to check in with you to see how things are going.”
4. As they share listen to them with a "hope face" (warm, non-judgmental, inviting).
5. After they are finished sharing encourage with, “I can understand why you might see things that way.” Then ask them, “Deep down, what do you want most?”
6. After listening to their answers empower with, “I have an idea, may I share it with you?”
7. Wrap-up with, “Just know that I am here for you, and I believe that things are going to get better because remember, as long as there Is breath in your body, there is hope.”
