What is Positivity?

October 21, 2015 Coaching 2 minutes

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.

photo-MountainManReflectionMany 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.

At first glance, many people think that Positivity is synonymous with Happiness. The reality is that it is much deeper and holistic than the idea of temporary “happiness”. Positivity deals with lasting satisfaction in 5 different aspects of your life:

  1. Positive Emotion (all aspects of happiness and life satisfaction)
  2. Engagement
  3. Relationships
  4. Meaning
  5. Achievement

YourPositivityCoach.com is focused on being your source of inspiration and practical strategies to flourish in each of these areas. It’s about helping you create a successful and meaningful life that serves something you believe is bigger than yourself and living that life with an inward sense of purpose and satisfaction. Let me assure you that, although I am pursuing my Doctorate on this topic, I am by no means an expert in Positivity. I am a work in progress, just like you.

I’ve learned that this is difficult alone, but together it’s absolutely possible!

“You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand.”      ~Woodrow Wilson
