How do you apply Positive Psychology to being a busy entrepreneur?

The other day a friend told me she's wasn't actually sure what Positive Psychology was. She asked if it was the same thing as Positive Parenting. It's not! In that moment I realised that I assume, just because I am obsessed with it, that everyone else also now knows how brilliant Positive Psychology is and how incredibly helpful it can be if you apply it to your life as a busy entrepreneur. Of course not everyone does know this - in fact most people don't. So in this episode I'm sharing what Positive Psychology actually is, what I mean when I refer to wellbeing (here's a clue: it's not green smoothies or yoga) and how we can apply the principles of the PERMA Theory of wellbeing to our lives and working weeks, to feel better and to get better results.I also explore why we don't HAVE to have all the key ingredients of wellbeing wrapped up neatly in our ideal dream businesses, we can infact find the core building blocks of wellbeing in other areas of our lives.Listen to catch these episode highlights:​[1.18] Why well-being doesn't have much to do with bubble baths[5.00] Why the second wave of Positive Psychology isn't all about happiness[8.17] The theory that helps us work out what human flourishing actually is[12:11] How and where you can get into a flow state[16:58] It's not always possible to have your dream business - then what?[22:20] What we need to insert into our weeks for greater well-beingTake the free VIA Strengths test here: https://www.viacharacter.org/* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *Update: AMotherBrand closed its doors in March 2023.
