Most of us reflexively dwell on our problems and concerns. However, there is convincing recent research that by placing attention on positive experiences and positive feelings (such as gratitude and enjoyment), we can think more effectively and expansively. In addition, attending to the positive in one's life has been shown to cultivate psychological resilience. People who have a higher ratio of "positivity" to "negativity" have more energy and better health.

All of the findings of Positive Psychology remain abstract until we get a way to incorporate these findings into our lives. Focusing is the vehicle that makes it possible to turn this pursuit into an actual lived experience, a mindful practice. This is what we will practice in this experiential workshop.
