Positive psychology, in a nutshell, about being positive about your life.
Your overall energy is uplifted if you are focused on being:
- Satisfied with your past,
- Happy in the present moment and

I concur that being positive is a great way to achieve life's goals.
With a positive mind and healthy thinking, anything you set your mind to can be achieved!
I tend to fall into negativity every once in awhile- I suppose it's a common way to cope with frustration, but I am learning to harness my negativity and focusing more on the positive! Yay to me!

June 19, 2013Hi,
I do not necessarily agree that being satisfied with your past gives you positive psychology. I had a very unhappy past but am still a very positive person. I think just learning to look past hurt and anger and focusing on the present and future is more relevant. You should not be defined by your past. I know people who had wonderful childhoods and did everything right in the past but who are unhappy today. It's all relative I suppose!
