Prioritize, Plan, Practice, Prosper

All About?

Prioritize, Plan, Practice, Prosper is a simple framework to help you understand that you are a powerful human being, and you must take action. Happiness doesn’t just happen. Happiness is so much more than just a “choice.” That’s only the beginning. Making your mental health a priority, planning exercises that enhance mental health, and practicing them on a regular basis is what will make you prosper.

It was created by thought leader, psychologist, and happiness expert Dr. Peggy DeLong to help you develop and practice daily behaviors to feel good *now*.

You're in the right place if you...

  • Wonder why you have so many negative thoughts and what you can do about them
  • Want to wake up loving your life instead of dreading it
  • Know that there’s more to life but aren’t sure how to get there

Begin FEELING Good! NOW is the time to Prioritize, Plan, Practice, Prosper!

PRIORITIZE. PLAN. PRACTICE. PROSPER
WILL HELP YOU FEEL GOOD.

Even through difficult times.
That’s when we need these ideas the most.

It’s based on research-backed ideas from the fields of
Positive Psychology, Neuroplasticity, and Mindfulness.
Here’s my take on them:

positive psychology

Strength-based, optimistic,
and hopeful perspective of
human functioning that focuses on
cultivating gratitude, peace, love, and joy.

neuroplasticity

The ability of your brain
to form new connections and
develop new patterns of thinking,
behaving, and feeling.

mindfulness

Gaining awareness of your thoughts,
emotions, and behavior. Connecting to
the present moment to reduce stress
and experience more peace and joy.

Hi, beautiful person!

I'M DR. PEGGY—KEYNOTE SPEAKER, PSYCHOLOGIST, AUTHOR & HAPPINESS EXPERT

Peggy-Picture1

Maybe you’ve been experiencing so much disappointment and emotional pain that now you feel numb, so you don’t feel anything, including joy. Maybe you’re thinking that there’s more to life, but you don’t know how to change, and you don’t know where to start. Maybe you’re hard on yourself, wondering why everyone else seems to have it together. Maybe you’re terrified when you think of your future, feeling pressure to be what others want you to be to the point that you’ve lost yourself and feel paralyzed.

You’re not alone, and I’d love to support you or your organization. This is what I do.

You won’t hear me say that happiness is merely a choice, or that there’s a fast track to success. The truth is that it takes work, and it takes daily practice. The good news is that the tools you use for more joy and life satisfaction actually FEEL Good while you’re using them! And when you practice them on a regular basis, you’re setting yourself up for your best future. I’m all about providing you with the tools to experience more joy on an ordinary day, connect with your beautiful life, and help you foster meaningful and long-lasting relationships. Even if your life is hard. Especially if your life is hard. I’ve lived it, and it’s my mission to help others do the same. I’ll help you develop and strengthen resilience skills so that grief, disappointment, and pain become opportunities for growth to live more fully and joy-fully than you ever imagined!

Kind Words from Event Planners and Participants

""Peggy was a guest speaker for an executive networking group that I run. She presented on the subject of gratitude to over 120 executives and senior executives and the feedback was outstanding. Not only did attendees appreciate the material, including research-based findings and strategies for enhancing your mindset, but they also appreciated her style of delivery. She was organized and yet flexible; professional yet friendly and approachable. This is a weekly meeting that I have run for several years, and many people called it the best program we've had. I'm so thankful to Peggy for the quality of her presentation.""
JOHN MADIGAN, PRESIDENT AND CEO AT EXECUTIVE TALENT SERVICES

Dr. DeLong is an excellent speaker and her message was more than well received by everyone in the audience. Nothing but kudos and plaudits for a simple message that we all need to remember and utilize in our daily lives. If you are thinking about having Dr. DeLong as a guest speaker, don't think any longer. Just do it. You will not be disappointed.”"
SUSAN JOHNS, MAJOR GIFTS OFFICER, FOUNDATION FOR MORRISTOWN MEDICAL CENTER
"“Over the last several months, we have been intentional with our leaders sharing our organization’s core values – Genuine Passion & Genuine Gratitude. We invited Dr. Peggy DeLong to present on gratitude in our Energy & Time Management session of our Leadership Development program. We could not have asked for a better speaker to set the tone of our two-day leadership session. Dr. Peggy’s message was heartfelt and inspiring to everyone in the room. The exercises of gratitude were well explained, and our leaders walked away with practical tips on how to apply gratitude more consistently into their daily routines. It is energizing to show gratitude towards others and be intentional with how you will approach the day. Dr. Peggy was a clear favorite from this leadership session!”"
TERESA KING, CHIEF HUMAN RESOURCES OFFICER, GOOSENECK IMPLEMENT

"Dr. Peggy DeLong gave a powerful presentation! Her very welcome talk on five daily exercises in gratitude combined her professional expertise, polished speaking style, and a great deal of heart.
