Positive psychology is both a movement and a science. The movement involves absolutely anyone who is interested in evidence-based approaches to improving well-being, either for themselves or for their community. I invite you to join this movement! ~ Barbara Fredrickson
Positive Psychology quotes by Barbara Fredrickson
Positive psychology is the study of what constitutes excellence in individuals, communities, and workplaces. It incorporates the study of productivity, resilience, motivation, emotions, strengths, team dynamics, and more. ~ Margaret Greenberg
Positive Psychology quotes by Margaret Greenberg
I'm trying to broaden the scope of positive psychology well beyond the smiley face. Happiness is just one-fifth of what human beings choose to do. ~ Martin Seligman
Positive Psychology quotes by Martin Seligman
My purpose is to translate the wisdom and science of mindfulness, compassion and positive psychology into practical language so we can live with more ease and joy. ~ Laurie J. Cameron
Positive Psychology quotes by Laurie J. Cameron
To live completely is a felt poetic. ~ John Sean Doyle
Positive Psychology quotes by John Sean Doyle
Positive thinking is just one small part of positive psychology. Plus, as an approach to well-being, positive thinking only helps you to the extent that it yields one or more positive emotions. The problem with positive thinking is that it sometimes just stays up "in the head" and fails to drip down to become a fully embodied experience. ~ Barbara Fredrickson
Positive Psychology quotes by Barbara Fredrickson
Let me tell you a BIG secret – THE secret that many do not know about happiness. Happiness is not something some people have and others do not; happiness is a practice – a skill that you get better at by practicing positive and empowering thoughts, daily. The simple reason why so many are traveling a dirt road towards happiness is because they practice the opposite every day: anger, hate, sadness, sorrow, loneliness, etc. ~ Jellis Vaes
Positive Psychology quotes by Jellis Vaes
When we reside in Gratitude, it's impossible to simultaneously feel like a victim. ~ Dr. Theresa Nicassio
Positive Psychology quotes by Dr. Theresa Nicassio
Voices in the study of positive psychology, framed the traits as hope, wisdom, creativity, future-mindedness, courage, spirituality, responsibility, and perseverance. V. Paraphrased from a speech given by Bruce Springsteen ~ Martin Dugard
Positive Psychology quotes by Martin Dugard
We have the power as individuals to create a different perspective. We can physically rewire our brains to see our work and lives in a more positive light. We can reduce our stress and increase our peace and happiness. We can use our minds to change our brains for a better life. ~ Tina Hallis
Positive Psychology quotes by Tina Hallis
The aim of Positive Psychology is to catalyze a change in psychology from a preoccupation only with repairing the worst things in life to also building the best qualities in life. ~ Martin Seligman
Positive Psychology quotes by Martin Seligman
The positive psychology field has taught us about the benefits of optimism and happiness. One study correlated the life spans of Major League Baseball players with their smiles. In 2010, researchers Ernest Abel and Michael Kruger analyzed 230 baseball cards from 1952, a time when cards featured athletes looking straight at the camera. The results will make you want to smile.
* Players not smiling had an average life span of 72.9 years.
* Players partially smiling had an average life span of 75.0 years.
* Players with a full smile had an average life span of 79.9 years. ~ Jim Afremow
Positive Psychology quotes by Jim Afremow
The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction not a destination. ~ Carl R. Rogers
Positive Psychology quotes by Carl R. Rogers
But you should see the sky tonight.
Screw your astrology apps. Screw your games. Look up sometime. There is a whole wing of positive psychology--my therapist told me--that says the greatest way to affect your outlook on life is to consider what you already have more than what you don't have. And so I might not have a cell phone on me, or a sister at home, or a Dad at all, or a future, but holy shit I have the sky. ~ Tim Federle
Positive Psychology quotes by Tim Federle
We are most ourselves, the most human, when we unabashedly immerse ourselves in the world with love and hope, gratitude and kindness. ~ John Sean Doyle
Positive Psychology quotes by John Sean Doyle
Radical acceptance rests on letting go of the illusion of control and a willingness to notice and accept things as they are right now, without judging. ~ Marsha M. Linehan
Positive Psychology quotes by Marsha M. Linehan
The beautiful thing about hope is that it acts exclusively of the thing being hoped for. During a dark day, the prospect of a bright tomorrow offers you strength today regardless of what tomorrow actually holds. ~ Daniel V Chappell
Positive Psychology quotes by Daniel V Chappell
Life can show up no other way than that way in which you perceive it. ~ Neale Donald Walsch
Positive Psychology quotes by Neale Donald Walsch
You know that saying 'A little knowledge is a dangerous thing'? That's so true of positive psychology. Our latest research tells us that the pursuit of happiness is a delicate art. Certain approaches to seeking happiness are now known to backfire, whereas others are effective. ~ Barbara Fredrickson
Positive Psychology quotes by Barbara Fredrickson
Happiness, after all, is generally measured as reported satisfaction with one's life - a state of mind perhaps more accessible to those who are affluent, who conform to social norms, who suppress judgment in the service of faith, and who are not overly bothered by societal injustice...The real conservatism of positive psychology lies in its attachment to the status quo, with all its inequalities and abuses of power. Positive psychologists' tests of happiness and well-being, for example, rest heavily on measures of personal contentment with things as they are. ~ Barbara Ehrenreich
Positive Psychology quotes by Barbara Ehrenreich
Do not allow yourself to be a thermometer which gauges the temperature, rather be a thermostat which changes your environment. ~ Asa Don Brown
Positive Psychology quotes by Asa Don Brown
Positivity psychology is part and parcel of psychology. Being human includes both ups and downs, opportunities and challenges. Positive psychology devotes somewhat more attention to the ups and the opportunities, whereas traditional psychology - at least historically - has paid more attention to the downs. ~ Barbara Fredrickson
Positive Psychology quotes by Barbara Fredrickson
Constantly speaking positive words (affirmations) to our children ... will help lead them down the road to success. Speaking negative words to them ... will help lead them down the road to failure. ~ Timothy Pina
Positive Psychology quotes by Timothy Pina
We need to be in touch with our bodies; with what feels good, what feels not so good and what feels wrong. ~ Oscar Auliq-Ice
Positive Psychology quotes by Oscar Auliq-Ice
I've got rid of a lot of cynicism and anger. I feel positive about my development, and I just want to carry on making music and building myself as a person. ~ King Krule
Positive Psychology quotes by King Krule
A simple truth delivered in kindness may be the impetus that ignites a passionate fire in another's soul and goes on to become the source of motivation for positive change. ~ Molly Friedenfeld
Positive Psychology quotes by Molly Friedenfeld
Don't cry for them to be happy. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Positive Psychology quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
I find joy in reading. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Positive Psychology quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
Attitude is an important part of the foundation upon which we build a productive life. A good attitude produces good results, a fair attitude poor results, a poor attitude poor results. We each shape our own life, and the shape of it is determined largely by our attitude. ~ M. Russell Ballard
Positive Psychology quotes by M. Russell Ballard
[That] the driving force of the evolution of human intelligence was the coordination of multiple cognitive systems to pursue complex, shared goals [is called] the social brain hypothesis. It attributes the increase in intelligence to the increasing size and complexity of hominid social groups. Living in a group confers advantages, as we have seen with hunting, but it also demands certain cognitive abilities. It requires the ability to communicate in sophisticated ways, to understand and incorporate the perspectives of others, and to share common goals. The social brain hypothesis posits that the cognitive demands and adaptive advantages associated with living in a group created a snowball effect: As groups got larger and developed more complex joint behaviors, individuals developed new capabilities to support those behaviors. These new capabilities in turn allowed groups to get even larger and allowed group behavior to become even more complex. ~ Steven Sloman
Positive Psychology quotes by Steven Sloman
The only positive benefit of the injury to Flintoff may be the end of his captaincy ambitions ~ Michael Atherton
Positive Psychology quotes by Michael Atherton
Make Time daily to focus on what Happiness means to you, we can't Achieve, what we can't Conceive! ~ Darwun St. James
Positive Psychology quotes by Darwun St. James
Wetiko psychosis is at the very root of humanity's inhumanity to itself in all its various forms. As a species, we need to step into and participate in our own spiritual and psychological evolution, which means that we must focus our attention on and contemplate this most important topic before this virulent madness destroys us. ~ Paul Levy
Positive Psychology quotes by Paul Levy
The lived experiences which could not find adequate scientific expression in the substance doctrine of rational psychology were now validated in light of new and better methods. ~ Wilhelm Dilthey
Positive Psychology quotes by Wilhelm Dilthey
All feelings are fleeting. ~ Freequill
Positive Psychology quotes by Freequill
Quitting is never an option on the road to success. Find the way forward. If you have a positive mindset and are willing to persevere, there is little that is beyond your reach. The attitude of being ready to work even in the face of challenges and despite odds is what will make all the difference in your life. ~ Roopleen
Positive Psychology quotes by Roopleen
My third answer for becoming a positive deviant: Count something. Regardless of what one ultimately does in medicine - or outside medicine, for that matter - one should be a scientist in the world....If you count something you find interesting, you will learn something interesting. ~ Atul Gawande
Positive Psychology quotes by Atul Gawande
I dance to music in my heart. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Positive Psychology quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
Every artifact of human culture is a positive response to God's general revelation and simultaneously a rebellious assertion against His sovereign rule over us. ~ Timothy Keller
Positive Psychology quotes by Timothy Keller
These garments that God provides - such as kindness, humility, and gentleness - allow us to meet hostility and criticism with patience, forgiveness, and love. They give us staying power in the storms of life. When we face adverse conditions at home, school, or work, the 'clothing' God tells us to wear protects us and enables us to make a positive difference... Dressing according to God's guidelines doesn't change the weather - it equips the wearer... Kindness is the oil that takes the friction out of life. ~ David McCasland
Positive Psychology quotes by David McCasland
We are all individuals as one within the cosmic collective. Each a single droplet in the sea of humanity. We all think for ourselves but your thoughts can change the world. Think positive and bring forth positive vibes for the harmony of the universal collective. So that as one we can all share our individuality without shame as brothers and sisters should. ~ Kenneth G. Ortiz
Positive Psychology quotes by Kenneth G. Ortiz
Beauty is about Accepting yourself for who you are. It's about feeling secure about yourself. It's about feeling so blessed everyday that we are given the chance to live. All those beautiful feeling and positive energy inside you, now that is what makes you beautiful. ~ Davina Veronica
Positive Psychology quotes by Davina Veronica
To be less dumb, remember your propensity for post hoc postulation and the power positive permutations of the placebo effect have to pollute your perspicacity. ~ David McRaney
Positive Psychology quotes by David McRaney
You can't always be 100-percent positive that a joke will work, so you've just got to try it. Fortunately, if one new joke doesn't work, I've got lots of old ones that do. Just like cops, it's important to have backup. ~ Doug Benson
Positive Psychology quotes by Doug Benson
The present moment is the still point around which the universe arises and subsides, only to be reborn again, fresh as a new born child. ~ Deepak Chopra
Positive Psychology quotes by Deepak Chopra
Divine grace is available for each one of us. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Positive Psychology quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
Anxiety and depression, and the physical symptoms they cause, are merely distractions and smokescreens to "protect" you from dangers, which are usually, imaginary. ~ Charles F. Glassman
Positive Psychology quotes by Charles F. Glassman
Christ and his teachings are the embodiment of submission, of inertia, of the denial of life; hence responsible for the things done in their name. ~ Emma Goldman
Positive Psychology quotes by Emma Goldman
I know enough to know that no woman should ever marry a man who hated his mother. ~ Martha Gellhorn
Positive Psychology quotes by Martha Gellhorn
I began to realize how important it is to be able to know your gifts and dreams, to live in the moment, to work less hard and to let things flow. I embraced the fact that worry never is a good thing. I learned that I could control my thoughts, which then affects my feelings and the quality of my life. ~ Sheri Kaye Hoff
Positive Psychology quotes by Sheri Kaye Hoff
I have a huge breakfast every morning because I never know if I'll have time for lunch, especially during Fashion Week. It keeps my mood positive all day. And my parents taught me to have tons of fruit and vegetables, which I think helps my skin. ~ Constance Jablonski
Positive Psychology quotes by Constance Jablonski
one path toward unlocking our latent abilities is returning to a simple practice that came so naturally to us as children: We need to rekindle our ability to emulate the positive attributes of those we admire in others, and apply those same attributes to our life and work. When we are conscious of the qualities we want to emulate, they become points of traction to help us coordinate our daily activities around a set of principles rather than reacting spontaneously to circumstances throughout the day. They comprise the operating system that guides how we engage our work, how we interact with others, and how we make decisions with our focus, time, and energy. ~ Todd Henry
Positive Psychology quotes by Todd Henry
Removing all stimulation around you is a really positive thing in terms of stimulating your creativity. ~ Grimes
Positive Psychology quotes by Grimes
Economists tell us that the 'price' of an object and its 'value' have very little or nothing to do with one another. 'Value' is entirely subjective economic value, anyway while 'price' reflects whatever a buyer is willing to give up to get the object in question, and whatever the seller is willing to accept to give it up. Both are governed by the Law of Marginal Utility, which is actually a law of psychology, rather than economics. For government to attempt to dictate a 'fair price' betrays complete misunderstanding of the entire process. ~ L. Neil Smith
Positive Psychology quotes by L. Neil Smith
A healthy choice for your overall health and well-being is one of a happy and positive disposition. ~ Steve Maraboli
Positive Psychology quotes by Steve Maraboli
You never get rid of something that has a positive foundation. ~ Arsenio Hall
Positive Psychology quotes by Arsenio Hall
DENIAL OF EMOTIONS
Our culture does not handle emotions well. We like folks to be happy and fine. We learn rituals of acting happy and fine at an early age. I can remember many times telling people "I'm fine" when I felt like the world was caving in on me. I often think of Senator Muskie who cried on the campaign trail when running for president. From that moment on he was history. We don't want a president who has emotions. We would rather have one that can act! Emotions are certainly not acceptable in the workplace. True expression of any emotions that are not "positive" are met with disdain. ~ John Bradshaw
Positive Psychology quotes by John Bradshaw
If you listen to the news, read the news, you'd think we were still in a recession. Well, we're not in a recession. We've had growth; people need to know that. They need to be more upbeat, more positive ... ~ Dan Quayle
Positive Psychology quotes by Dan Quayle
A willing heart, daring spirit! ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Positive Psychology quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
Respect Life and Life will respect You. Love Life and Love will shower Blessings on You. ~ Rajneesh
Positive Psychology quotes by Rajneesh
I would give up, but that will teach my kids that it's okay to be a failure and I refuse to ruin their lives like that! ~ Mignon' Talise Padilla
Positive Psychology quotes by Mignon' Talise Padilla
All humans are equal, but not everyone has the mental capacity to decide what's best for harmony and progress of a people. ~ Abhijit Naskar
Positive Psychology quotes by Abhijit Naskar
The average man never really thinks from end to end of his life. The mental activity of such people is only a mouthing of cliches. What they mistake for thought is simply a repetition of what they have heard. My guess is that well over 80 percent of the human race goes through life without having a single original thought. ~ H.L. Mencken
Positive Psychology quotes by H.L. Mencken
Keep in mind that it is very important to stay moving and to get exercise - positive feelings about our appearance develop once we start taking control of our health. ~ Katherine Schwarzenegger
Positive Psychology quotes by Katherine Schwarzenegger
I am grateful to the Lord for hundred-fold blessings. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Positive Psychology quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
The qualities required to be a good leader are usually incompatible with the qualities required to become a leader. ~ Francis Mont
Positive Psychology quotes by Francis Mont
I want to work with Peter Robinson as first minister in a positive, constructive way and leave the elections to the electorate. ~ Martin McGuinness
Positive Psychology quotes by Martin McGuinness
Genuine acceptance that there will be losses on your way to market success will greatly decrease the hurt when they eventually come. ~ Yvan Byeajee
Positive Psychology quotes by Yvan Byeajee
All great dreamers have great faith. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Positive Psychology quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
Positive thinking, daring life. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
