"In positive psychology, researchers try to understand how human beings can lead healthy, happy, and fulfilling lives."
"Researchers in positive psychology believe that happiness can be broken down into three different dimensions that can be improved. These dimensions are the "pleasant life", "meaningful life", and "good life". Each of these dimensions can contribute to a person's sense of well-being."

Have you ever heard of a 'flow state' in positive psychology? It's when you're fully immersed in an activity, enjoying the process. The image (from Wikipedia) depicts how mental state is affected by the "level of challenge" and "skill required" for the task.

Just a reminder that #PositivePsychology is based on #debunked math. This guy did that debunking and https://www.theguardian.com/science/2014/jan/19/mathematics-of-happiness-debunked-nick-brown

@SLICEOFHOME same thing with #PositivePsychology the math behind it is garbage, well misapplied anyway https://www.theguardian.com/science/2014/jan/19/mathematics-of-happiness-debunked-nick-brown

It can sometimes seem that no one really empathises. People around you may just be focused on keeping their own heads above water. Always remember that there are millions of us around the world who wish nothing more than your wellbeing. #positivepsychology #quotes #receiving #lovingkindness

We can’t stop difficult experiences from happening but our attitude towards them makes a huge difference to our outcomes. Remaining positive in the face of challenge often results in great rewards. #positivepsychology #quotes

Deep down we all wonder whether we are enough. We carry our self-doubt and fears around like a heavy backpack. However the truth is that we’re all on a journey to realise our amazing potential. #positivepsychology #quotes

"Your mental toughness is equally made of persistence, commitment, and motivation and remember, the toughest opponent of all is the one inside your head." - Dr. Gilda Scarfe

Remember, we train people to calibrate our worth and value and they behave accordingly.

Being comfortable with and learning how to set healthy boundaries in relationships, be they friendships, intimate partners, family members, or at work. . . this is an essential life skill seldom taught or platformed for discussion and examination.

Here's a primer. Live well, everyone, and hang in there: #psychology #positivepsychology #MentalHealth #relationships https://positivepsychology.com/great-self-care-setting-healthy-boundaries/

‘Am I capable?’ It’s a question we all ask ourselves. But it’s just a reaction to the uncertainty of the future, combined with not realising how powerful we are. If you can imagine it then you can do it. #positivepsychology #quotes
