FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:  The Enchanted Self Heroin and Hero Awards have begun!

Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein, Positive Psychologist and originator of THE ENCHANTED SELF, a way of bringing Happiness, Meaning and Delight into Everyday Living, has decided to give awards to ENCHANTED SELVES.  There are so many people, who may think they are ordinary, who are really extraordinary and Dr. Holstein wants them celebrated. They are the people who do good deeds, or who finally get that degree they need for career success, or who simply learn to love who they are and make the most of their lives! They are all over, but we tend to ignore each other's positive stories and lives.

To change all of this, the ENCHANTED SELF AWARDS have commenced.  So far three people have qualified as ENCHANTED SELVES.  They are Barbara Knight of Asbury Park, who helps seniors and stray dogs and teaches body alignment with joy and spirit; Maureen Nevins, who hosts www.restoreradio.com, a compelling radio show dedicated to keeping the best of Asbury Park; and Thor the Barbarian, www.psychjourney.com  who is constantly teaching others how to find and acknowledge the hero within. Find out all the details on www.enchantedself.com and www.psychjourney.com. Please consider applying for an award or suggesting someone special in your life. Write to Dr. Holstein at enself@aol.com. Recipients will be written up and will receive a prize which may be one of her books, a taped or CD version, or her beautiful ENCHANTED SELF necklace.

Dr. Holstein, in private practice since 1981 in New Jersey, has taken her vision of psychological well-being and how to achieve a life of meaning and joy to the public and other clinicians for many years.
 
Her Enchanted Self concepts derive from research she did with women and from her private practice experiences. She uses what she has learned about human potential to help us recall positive memories, regardless of our history, recognize our unique talents, and bring into our lives more of what gives us pleasure and joy. This is all combined with daily positive actions.
