Positive Psychology

The point is not to limit damage in the positive psychology – to go from minus eight to minus two of the mental state scale – but how we can improve from plus two to plus five.

Positive Pschology focuses on  what is necessary to achieve a Good life.

For example, the following aspects contribute to such a positive life:

- more positive than negative emotions

- to recognize and use your strengths and talents

- to create a positive family life

- contribute to the welfare of the community

Positive emotions does not only show a state of well-being, but also contribute to greater well-being and positive human development.

When people are in a positive emotional state, they look at a problem and the solution rather in a broader context – they respond creatively and flexibly – and build up  more social, emotional and intellectual resources.
