YOU are fearfully and wonderfully made, unique and unrepeatable, as well as unequivocally the foremost expert of your life experiences.

The way is not easy, but we are called not to do what is easy but what is right, when it comes to growing into a more Comprehensive man! One of my guiding stars in creating YOUtopia DEVELOPMENT is that I'm seeking to build a bridge between the generations, specifically Genenrations: X, Y, & Z, which is why I deliberately chose the web address as: youtopiadevelopment.xyz Do YOU want to merely talk about holistic DEVELOPMENT in order to cultivate becoming a BetterYOU™; or are YOU, Ready to move beyond talk and make your move, into a place of learning, growth, and praxis:

       X. It all begins with begins with self-awareness; I'll be guiding you in ways to increase your self-awareness. Helping YOU to begin to learn more about both your strengths and weaknesses; our focus is on maximising your strengths and becoming aware of your blind spots. I'll also be teaching you multiple mindfulness techniques along the way; we'll not just be talking about them, but begin learning how to live more deeply with, in and through growing in mindfulness. This process involves beginning to open ourselves to live more intentionally, by becoming more disciplined in one's prayer life and devotional practices, and beginning cultivate an authentic sense of wonderment, growing purpose as well as a sense of accountability.

       Y. Next, I'll be coaching various skills-based techniques of how to enhance one's natural resilience, and how to grow in strong mindedness, cultivating a growth mindset, and growing into your grit!  Throughout our focus is always strengths-based, meaning our goal is to guide YOU in enhancing your strengths, to help you to create more meaning in your everyday life, and help you to find greater purpose along the wayt!

I will also introduce, what I call "living within the sacrament of the present moment." and involves becoming even more intentional and disciplined in prayer, learning to live with a deeper and more profound sense of accountability, while also developing humility. All of this will greatly improve your various relationships!   

YOUtopia DEVELOPMENT is where DEVELOPMENT begins with YOU! Our soul focus is on your holistic formation AMDG, and the DEVELOPMENT of YOU as a Comprehensive Man!

What is Existential Positive Psychology?
Each one of us have a unique call on our life, life will ask each one of us many questions along the way, it is in our ability to respond where our truest freedom lies; this is what I call our ResponseAbility™. When cultivating growth of all sorts, especially in regards authentic masculine virtue, it requires that each of us must strive to take life on it's own terms. Meaning we need to take life as it is and not as we would have it, being ever prepared to embrace our own profound and radical ResponseAbility™. I made up the aphorism below to explain what I mean: When life gives you shit, as it surely will and does, you need to use it as manure, to cultivate good habits and greater flourishing in your life... 
                                                                    I also made up this hashtag: #manurehappens 
             I'd love to hear your #manurehappens stories, and help YOU, to not just go through it, but rather to grow though it!

A great way to get your questions answered

Rarely have I encountered such a uniquely loving individual as Tim Barton. His honest and sincere desire to understand me as a real person has helped me in innumerable ways. Upon first meeting Tim I was struck by his openness and willingness to understand me! His warmth and sense of humor won me over immediately. While his sincerity of heart is most treasured, what is of great significance is that he possesses both a deep insight into mental health and a genuine caring for people. He has offered me some profound solutions to some of my own very personal struggles. I admire this man as a professional and his gift for nurturing a growth mindset in me. I am very grateful and blessed to know this man who has helped me and encourages me today to flourish

Timothy helped me upon my return from doing missions work post hurricane Katrina, he helped me to recalibrate my goals by coaching me through a process of identifying my strengths, assisting me in creating SMART GOALS and action oriented plans using a process that he simply called: "GOAL: G-for the Goal(s) itself; O-Objectives that drive you towards your goal(s); A-Activities, or Action steps, that actively move you towards achievement of your objectives; and L- Lifelong Love of Learning, which he told me was the cornerstone to cultivating a growth mindset." He frequently prayed with me and collaborated with me in discerning my calling into ministry of being both a Reformed Passionist and an Evangelist. He offered guidance all along the way, from my beginning my education journey afresh and attending seminary at the Reformed Presbyterian Theological Seminary, and also proved to be an excellent dialogue partner, even studying with me. I'm eternally grateful to have gotten to work with Tim at the clubhouse and getting to know him as an advisor and brother in Christ -- Love you brother Tim! Sunny

Timothy Barton is the real deal. You could say he was born and raised to be a professional helper of humans, as the son of two psychologists! That being said, he has developed his own unique brand of “No B.S.” positive psychology coaching, with the overarching tenet of mastering Christ-centered mindfulness. Whether you believe in God or not, Tim will be able to guide you, for the simple reason that he wants every person to grow into the man or woman that they were born to be. Tim does not "meet" to "diagnose" you. He collaborates with you. After numerous collaborations with Tim, I can personally and wholeheartedly say that he has changed me for the better by augmenting my perception and empowering me to expand my horizons.
