Ok everyone – for this, I NEED YOUR HELP.

My wife had a great idea this morning. She said, “Wouldn’t it be great if we could gather the TOP 10 best ideas people use in their families to reduce negativity.” I thought it was brilliant. That woman’s intuition thing. 🙂

(This happens to me more times than I would like to admit. My neuro-chemicals must be off) These real world issues are what Positive Psychology helps to solve.

So here’s the skinny – from research I know you need 3 positive things to occur in order to make up for 1 negative [Read more…] about 10 Great Ideas to Reverse the Negativity in Your Family

Why Hard Things Can Be the Most Positive Things In Life

November 10, 2015 by Tom Davis 6 Comments

I started studying Positivity because of the problem I have with negativity. Notice I said, “have” not “had.” I’m a work in progress.

It’s rooted in many things: being a child of divorced parents, abuse, starting in a new school every year, and feeling like a complete loser most of my life – I could go on and on.

Those things are certainly negative. But one of the most positive things I ever did was to begin the journey of facing the pain and rejection of my childhood. I needed to accept responsibility for my life and work through my issues in the present so I could have the kind of future I desired. It helped the healing process begin and helped me grow. It was painful, it was hard, but it was incredibly positive. [Read more…] about Why Hard Things Can Be the Most Positive Things In Life

Life can deal us some tremendously negative blows. Think about how many times you have to overcome discouragement – even in a single day. Your child didn’t make the top soccer team, that promotion didn’t come through, you discovered that someone you thought a friend is gossiping behind your back, you just have zero motivation to get on with your day. The list goes on and on.

Many research studies show that the best way to overcome discouragement and disappointment is to live a life of Positivity. This is not pop-psychology or guess work. It is live-able truth confirmed by scientific research. But what exactly is it? Positivity is a derivative of the Positive Psychology movement – a scientific study about what makes life worth living. And it’s been the focus of my Doctorate for the past 5 years. [Read more…] about What is Positivity?

How Positivity Rewires Your Brain

There’s a reason I’m focusing my Doctorate on Positivity. It has the power to rewire your brain.

According to a recent psychological article, “new scientific research on neuroplasticity (experience-dependent change in the neural circuitry of emotions) suggests that positive emotional states may trigger lasting, durable changes in the structure and function of the brain.”

Here’s what this study means: if you are a negative person – in your thoughts, words or actions – it has a tremendous impact on how you think, how your brain functions, and even your health. Conversely, if you can learn to be a positive person – in your thoughts, words, or actions – it can work wonders for your brain, how people treat you, your ability to accomplish your dreams and goals, and your health – just to name a few benefits.
