The Option Institute

Foundational Principles of The Option Process®

1) Happiness Is A Choice
2) You have your own answers
3) We do not teach “the truth.” We do not teach “the right way to live.” We do teach practical tools, principles, strategies and perspectives for overcoming life’s challenges and sustaining personal happiness.
4) Everything we feel, say and do has a chosen belief that fuels it and is something we can change
5) Being non-judgmental is powerful, not passive
6) Self-criticism and self-doubt may be "normal" (as in "usual") but they aren't "natural" (as in "a necessary part of the human condition")
7) We aren't the victims that we're taught to be
8) Authenticity, not people pleasing, builds close relationships and safety
9) Changing the way you see things changes everything
