This smiley is pretty cool!
So.. last night I decided to pull out one of my positive psych books from a term or two ago for a relaxing read. The book, not a formal journal or a text meant strictly for education, is a light page-turner based on empirical findings. What can I say? I know what I like.
Anyhow, I decided that a simple activity proposed by Martin Seligman would be a ton of fun here on the board. Post once a day if you can, as well. Within fifteen days, 94% of the group of severely depressed people being studied by Seligman showed improvement in their outlook.
All you have to do is write down three good things that happened today. They can be big or small, but the key is that they're positive!
Mine for the day:
-I had a pretty solid lunch that involved making fun of soap operas.
-I won a scholarship from a business association.
-I got pretty pretty sexy/smooth close shave. Nice job, Gillette!!
What do you have to say for yourself?
