corePurpose2.0 continues the journey to purpose by teaching individuals how to refine their corePURPOSE and how to create a customized Purpose Model, and equips them with the life skills they need to overcome obstacles and adversity that could hinder them from fulfilling their Purpose.
corePurpose2.0 Learning Modules
corePurpose2.0 opens with the students sharing how they have fared since applying the principles they learned in corePurpose1.0 and how it has impacted them. Students will learn about their multiple intelligence(s) and how these natural aptitudes will point in the direction of their Purpose. Students will then design their personal Purpose Model. This model will evolve as the students proceed through each chapter of corePurpose2.0.
Module 1: Living Day2
Module 2: How Social Media Impacts My Purpose
Social media has introduced the world to many wonderful things including expanded connections, education, and entertainment. However, there are also problems with this technology including how our brains are changing to process information. This fascinating chapter will use neuroscience to highlight how these changes can be harmful, and will provide strategies on protecting our brain, improving our quality of life, and helping us stay on track to fulfill our Purpose.
Module 3: How Communication Impacts My Purpose
Students will learn about the neuroscience of communication and how the brain can enter neural synchrony when it connects with other people. They will also learn the biases which impact one’s ability to understand another viewpoint, and identify their communication style and how that might deteriorate when under stress. An exercise in advocacy will increase their ability to include other viewpoints when making decisions.
Module 4: How Stress & Anxiety Impact My Purpose
In this chapter students will examine stress and anxiety through the lens of neuroscience. Students will study fMRI images of the stressed, anxious, and overworked brain and will learn how these can hijack their thinking, making them vulnerable to influences that may sabotage their quality of life, relationships, and Purpose. Students will then examine strategies to reduce stress using techniques that will give them a strong foothold on facing life’s difficulties with a healthier approach.
Module 5: How Forgiveness Impacts My Purpose
Students will learn about the neuroscience behind resiliency, and how to train their brain, and themselves, to develop resiliency (which is called “neural flexibility”). This intentionally strengthens the brain to become more resilient. This chapter provides practical tools to create a resilient mind, so adversity doesn’t own us but instead can be used as leverage to enable us to “bounce back” from adversity into real healing, freedom, and ultimately Purpose.
Module 6: How Resilience Impacts My Purpose
In this chapter students will learn about the Two Paths of Forgiveness. Most people have an understanding of Path One, and this path is scrutinized in terms of psychology, physiology, and personal purpose. Path Two is introduced from the vantage point of not just our Purpose but also that of the other person. Unforgiveness is addressed as a prevalent problem that can significantly impair our ability to move in our Purpose and individuals are presented with a paradigm shift that will allow them to pursue the path of forgiveness.
Module 7: How Uncovering Treasures Impacts My Purpose
When we experience pain or trauma, we can “cut out” entire time frames from our lives to erase or suppress a negative experience. This chapter will teach students how to go back and “uncover the treasures” they may have unknowingly left behind. This is a vital exercise as these gaps can leave students with holes or wounds in their past that may be affecting their (and others’) Purpose in life, including their relationships and employment.
Module 8: How Everything I Learn Impacts My Purpose
In this chapter, students will take an inventory of the things they have learned and, drawing from each chapter, will refine the Purpose Model they began in Chapter One. This will cultivate a deeper understanding of how they can interface in the arenas of families, vocation, and community. Students will showcase their Purpose Models, discussing how they will apply the new information in each area and ultimately provide their roadmap to community engagement.
