Act as if you're a kind person, act as if you're a generous person, as if you know you're a grateful person, then that starts to feed back.
Feeling stuck in the middle ground between not quite thriving but not entirely struggling? In this episode of 'Rise', Elizabeth Vaughan and Julia Carson tackle the intriguing world of positive psychology. They break down how this field, which focuses on what makes life worth living, can help you boost your wellbeing, happiness, and overall satisfaction. Elizabeth and Julia introduce the PERMA model—Positive Emotions, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and Accomplishment—explaining how each element contributes to human flourishing.
They also dive into the concept of 'flow', that magical state where you're so immersed in an activity that time seems to fly by. Ever wondered why some people seem to be naturally happier or more resilient? The hosts discuss character strengths and how recognizing and utilizing them can lead to a more fulfilling life.
But it's not all sunshine and rainbows; they also address the concept of 'languishing', that space where you're not exactly unwell but not truly thriving either. Elizabeth and Julia offer practical advice on how to identify languishing and apply positive psychology interventions to move towards a more flourishing state. From taking tests to find out where you stand to pinpointing unmet emotional needs, they provide actionable steps to enhance your mental health.
This episode is a treasure trove of insights for anyone looking to improve their life, whether you're on a journey of sobriety or just seeking a little more joy in your day-to-day. Tune in for an enlightening conversation that's as comforting as a chat with a good friend over coffee.
