The mission of the Center for Positive Psychology is to employ and promote the application of positive, integrative, and complementary approaches to psychological health and growth. The "positive" reference is to Positive Psychology and its positive relatives, such as Solution-Focused approaches. "Integrative" refers to the fact that we believe that no one school of psychological thought has ident

I'm always looking for ways to "make lemonade", as the saying goes. You may be aware that I've been dealing with a medical condition, and like many, it has limited my activity. Like it or not, ALL of us have to deal with limited resources of some sort.

I recently saw a relevant FB post about 'negotiating with my body', but it seems to me that it's more a matter of honestly evaluating what the body is realistically ABLE to do at the moment, the COST of doing those things in comfort/pain or energy/fatigue, and making informed decisions that respect ourselves.

While it might sound counterintuitive, I actually don't recommend chasing happiness. Instead, practice cultivating contentment, which can sustain you through life's ups and downs. If you're interested in the difference, read my book Spontaneous Happiness.

Sorry for the delay in MY writing. Partly done, but still working through some medical limitations.
