Couragekeepers

Everyone carries a light within that is valuable and whose essence is the stuff of epic and heroic legends. We all have a hero lurking inside us, incognito. This app is dedicated to all those who want to overcome their anxiety and are seekers of peace, resilience and courage. It is created for those who wish to learn more about that lionhearted individual residing deep within them that wants to come forth to do what is good. It is a guide to a service mindset so that victimization, self-pity, hatred, and doubt can be exposed for what they are—imposters trying to sabotage the real hero within all of us.

In this app, “Couragekeepers: Uncovering the Hero Within,” Debra Norwood, an attorney-peacebuilder, certified laughter leader—expert level, and certified brain health coach has gathered information from various disciplines such as positive psychology, neuroscience, therapeutic humor and laughter, and mindfulness and meditation, in order to create a self-help tool to foster resilience. She directs the user to her favorite expert resources, authors, and personal experiences to provide not only a quick reference guide to principles about courage and wellbeing, but also to empower the user with self-sufficiency, accountability, and a service mindset, all explored through personal journaling.

Why journaling? Studies have shown that documenting positive experiences can help the brain combat negative thoughts and their physical reactions to them. Prompts in the app also encourage engagement in many other brain healthy habits including joining a community of other Couragekeepers to share experiences and to meet others who have overcome adversity and found meaning as helpers and healers in this world.

Through this app, users will experience personal growth by exploring their character strengths, optimism, understanding, ability to reinvigorate themselves, act in altruism, and show grit and empathy in order to uncover the hero within them. By journaling some of these basic building blocks for inner peace, users reinforce their own self-worth and tap into a wealth of information about what the world needs most today—COURAGE!
