Overview

This book is designed to spark discussion! It is a guide for children to recognize the innate power each one of us has to choose our own thoughts, which changes how we feel, and creates the results we experience in our lives. We are not at the mercy of our emotions or victims of our feelings, nor are we prisoners of our thoughts. Rather, we get to CHOOSE how we prefer to think and feel in any given moment! We enter this world and grow up learning how to navigate and survive in it, but... - Who teaches us how to thrive? - Who teaches us how to make our own choices, not out of fear or compulsion, but based on our own inner guidance for our highest good and for the highest good of all, that leads us to know what is best for us in any given moment? - Who teaches us how to understand that thoughts and emotions are linked, forming a feedback loop that we have the power to control and use to our advantage? - Who teaches us that we are more than our minds, our emotions, and greater than this physical world? Life can be so exciting, or scary, and how we choose to respond to life starts with our thoughts. We CAN choose to think differently in any given moment. In fact, the only thing over which we always have complete and total control in any given moment IS our thoughts. We have the power to change how we feel, and that starts with changing our thoughts. Through a series of scenarios, children, parents, and educators learn about the power of choice, how to understand and navigate their emotions & feelings, and how to create magical transformation in their lives The examples are basic, but embody the essence of even the most complex decisions faced by any adult. The goal of each illustrated scenario is to show children and adults alike how shifting your mindset and outlook can result in complete transformation. A choice in how they think and how they feel leads to this transformation. And so, a person who is transformed can positively influence everyone and everything around them because we are all connected. Each scenario is infused with the brave thinking principles and tools Julie learned through her years of research into the best practices for creating positive transformation and her studies with the Mary Morrissey Brave Thinking Institute. Which Would YOU Choose? illustrates the power of deciding to choose your thoughts to change your feelings and emotions, so that you can make better, more positive choices for your life, and ultimately, create a more fun life you truly love living.

"""Julie (and her daughter) have done a beautiful job delivering the message on the importance of choosing your thoughts and how doing so makes a difference in your life. The illustrations are consistent, playful and so cute. She covers many scenarios children may encounter while growing up. I am giving this book to the littles (my niece 7 and nephew 9)."" - Glenn Mitchell ""Beautifully crafted, fun and a powerful way to teach healthy emotional wellness that children will love!"" - Mary Morrissey, Life Coach & Personal Development Expert, Founder of the Brave Thinking Institute ""The message in this book is great for kids, teens and adults alike! It explores conflicting emotions we may feel and the choices we face. It will empower young readers (and the adults with them) to CHOOSE how they react. I can see this being a great book for families and teachers."" - SNSAIRAM ""The book ""Which Would You Choose"" is a beautifully written children's book that discusses something so important that is rarely taught... emotional management and the power of choice... I love the illustrations and the whole concept of the book. This is the kind of book that needs to be in schools and read to the children of our future. Every parent and child needs this book!"" - Tiffani Patlan, Health & Wellness Coach, Author & Speaker ""BRILLIANT. Absolutely delighted to see a book like this come out into the world that is in desperate need of mindfulness and an ability to get in touch with our emotions. Before reading this book, I was expecting to read something that would help children get in-touch with their emotions and pave the way for mindfulness and conversations about our ability to make conscious decisions. This book definitely achieves this in a beautiful way, but what really impressed me is that, while reading this book as an adult, it also reminded ME of MY ability to choose my emotional reaction (and thus my reality) in every situation. Even though the scenarios in the book involve young children, I saw that each mirrors my own adult life in some meaningful way. Like Man's Search For Meaning, Julie D'Ann's beautiful new book reminds children and adults alike of the power we have to create our reality in our everyday life just by pausing to consider how we respond to a situation. And, in today's educational systems that often ignore opportunities for mindfulness practice and have many children with emotional difficulties, this book should be a requirement for instructors to help guide children to understand their power to choose on a micro-level and grow up into adults that know that it is not their situations that define them, but, rather, their responses to their situations. This is something that is not taught in school today, but, with the help of Which Would You Choose?, it is my hope that we will someday see a generation of students and teachers that place mindfulness and emotional learning as a priority just as we do with math, science, and reading today."" - Natalie"
