Ann Papayoti has plenty of reasons to be bitter. She lost an infant child, had another born with epilepsy, and was married to a belligerent and abusive husband.
But Ann chose to make peace with her past. Today, she is a successful self-help author and life coach who mentors others on how to overcome all manner of life setbacks. What allows people to prevail over their difficulties is what Ann calls “shift” — embracing a better, life-affirming perspective. Ann is the co-author, along with Tracy Mac Donald, of The Gift of Shift: Discover the Key Within to Unlock Your Best Life. In the book, Ann and Tracy share a collection of personal stories designed to inspire readers to look at life’s hardships from a fresh perspective. The book aims to help each of us find peace within, create positive change, and embrace a new outlook on life. This week Ann shares specific shift approaches to transform hardships into blessings.
