Notes From Positive Psychology
1.The questions that you ask.
The study about business school graduates showed 2 things distinguish the extraordinary from the rest: i.They were always asking questions; ii.They believed in themselves.
2.Learn to fail, or fail to learn.
3.Permission to be human.
2 kinds of people who don't experience painful emotions: the psychopath and dead people.
4.Interventions that work: journaling (sharing with someone we care).
5.Appreciate the good in our lives.
6.There can be too much of a good thing.
A much better predictor of well-being than material affluence is time affluence.
Say no at times when it's appropriate.
Find out what you really really really want to do with your life, and do it.
7.Relationships: to invest in them, to put time into them, to share and open up.
8.Exercise at least 4 times a week for 30 minutes, do some yoga or meditation, sleep around 8 hours at night, and hug.
9.Introduce behavioral changes (the core of change).
10.To take care of others, you first and foremost need to take care of yourself.
