211: Getting Out of a Negativity Loop
We’re in the third week of our special Mental Health Monday episodes dedicated to mental health awareness! In this episode, I share the following:
The positive psychology movement, what it is, and how it came about through the leadership of Dr. Martin Seligman from the University of Pennsylvania
How the simple practice of thinking of three good things can stop the negativity loop, why they’re good, and how they impact your life
The surprising research on how this simple activity leads to greater happiness
How it rewires your brain to a more-positive state
How to help dear ones who have mental health challenges by taking a free Mental Health First Aid course
How if you’re having a hard time, to reach out to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255
Have you ever felt like if you accomplish a particular running goal, then you’ll be happy? But then you accomplish that goal, and you’re not as happy as you thought? Or perhaps you feel like accomplishing that goal wasn’t that big of a deal after all?
If you can relate, don’t worry! It’s science as to why your brain does that.
My Flourishing Skills groups will give you an opportunity to learn the science of positive psychology and apply strategies in real time from the comfort of your own home.
We’ll be meeting with kindred spirits via a free conferencing program called Zoom. Groups begin June 4 and 7, 2018, and will run (pun intended) for six weeks. Please email me at kari@therunninglifestyle.com for more information.
