We’re all looking for ways on how to flourish in life, to be successful, to grow and develop, to be happy. All of those terms may mean different things to you but in the end we’re all looking for the “feel good” factor on a regular basis. So here’s my top 3 ways to flourish in life, inspired by The Happiness Institute.
These tips are just the beginning but important ones to keep in mind throughout your life journey. It’s so easy to lose ourselves in today’s chaotic, busy lives and this is just a reminder that you can chieve anything you want as long as you believe in it.
Martin Seligman, also known as the founder of positive psychology, talks about flourishing in this inspiring (though slightly academic) TED talk. Positive psychology in essence talks about how we should focus more on the positive things in our life to flourish – everything from strengths to affirmations to social connections and more. You can also look into his latest book called Flourish for an in-depth discussion on the topic.
What makes you flourish? Do you agree with Martin Seligman’s points on focusing more on “positive” psychology to get more flourishing?
