When you are met with setbacks, there are two ways which your brain can evaluate the situation: “the glass is (or always) half empty” or “the glass is (or always) half full”. The way your brain thinks will affect your moods, emotions, mental states and behaviours. It’s not always easy to be positive, but it can make a huge difference in your life. Optimism has been shown to improve health and happiness, increase productivity, and reduce
stress.
With stresses brought on by continual uncertainty from the pandemic, the issue of fortifying our learners’ (and even our own) mental health, is more pressing than ever.
Join our next webinar as we explore “Learned Optimism”, a concept introduced by the pioneer of positive psychology and famed author, Dr Martin Seligman. Learning to be optimistic means developing the abilities to recognize negative self-talk and replacing pessimistic thoughts with more positive ones. Indeed, adults and children alike can learn how to become more optimistic so as to safeguard our mental health and develop greater resilience.
Attend this webinar to:
- Gain insights into the different thought patterns that drive you towards optimistic or pessimistic thinking
- Understand the relationship between your thoughts, emotions and behaviours
- Learn research-based strategies to help your learners develop more optimistic thinking, stronger mental health and deeper resilience
