I don't usually post this heavily but good bits having been popping into my feed that felt relateable and I'm up to my eyeballs in a couple of courses right now. One topic happens to be the scientific study of positive psychology.
That means that instead of focusing on what's "wrong" with us, as per traditional psychology, we focus on reinforcing the positive. Building on our strengths, virtues, and positive attributes.

For me, a part of that means curating my media(s) with intent and mindfulness.

Here's to more peaceful and healthy lives!

My favorite unit so far because it's so deeply in alignment with how I practice in my business.

I can't even imagine waking up to do something I LOVE, in what was anticipated to be a predetermined, safe route.
