Hello fellow Serenity Seeker, Congratulations on completing our journey to happiness! Over the past few weeks, we’ve explored the empowering basics of positive psychology and practical steps to enhance your happiness and fulfilment. Let’s take a moment to celebrate our achievements and recap the key insights and actions from our journey together. Introduction to Positive Psychology We began our journey by introducing Positive Psychology as the scientific study of what makes life worth living. Instead of dwelling on our flaws, Positive Psychology focuses on recognising our strengths and building upon them to lead a more fulfilling life. Practical Steps for Boosting Happiness and Fulfillment
Reflection and Integration As you reflect on our journey together, consider how these principles and practices have impacted your life. Have you noticed any shifts in your mindset, habits, or relationships? Remember that Positive Psychology is an ongoing journey, and integrating these practices into your daily life can lead to lasting happiness and fulfilment. Stay Connected Thank you for joining me on this journey to happiness. If you have any questions, reflections, or experiences to share, please don’t hesitate to let me know. Your insights could inspire others on their own journey. I’d love to hear from you! Stay tuned for future newsletters, where we’ll continue to explore topics related to Positive Psychology, neurodivergence, stress-free living and personal growth. For now, though, I am going to practice self-compassion, honour my need for a break and take some time off for the summer. I'll be back in your inboxes in September! Wishing you continued happiness, fulfilment, and serenity on your journey ahead. 📰 Interesting Reads This WeekHere are some articles/news stories that I’ve come across this week: Doomscrolling linked to existential anxiety, distrust, suspicion and despair, study finds I think we all know this intuitively, but it is interesting stuff that research is showing the harm the media cycle and social media have on us!
