Positive Emotions are our wings
Have you ever wondered what the main element would be in living a flourishing life? Well, according to the research, increase positive emotions in a ratio of 3:1, that is 3 positive emotions to one negative would be what it would take to live a flourishing life. So, how would you know what your ratio is? That’s easy. Dr. Barbara Fredrickson, one of the foremost researchers in the field of positive psychology has developed a questionnaire that you can take to find out what your personal ratio is. Furthermore, you can track it over time on the website. So, go to www.positivityratio.com to find out.
Now what? You found out your ratio. You want to increase it. How do you do that. Well, a number of Positive Psychology Interventions (PPI) have been created to do just that. And as a Positive Psychology Coach, I have created a workshop where you can learn these new exercises and ways of ‘being’ in your life. For people in the local community here are the details below. For other people interested, I have created an online course. If you would like to take the online course, please email me at info@johannavanderpol.com.
