Welcome to your course, where we will explore positivity, positive psychology, and strategies for increasing your positivity and wellbeing.
Let's first explore part of an article on positivity from the renowned Mayo Clinic in the USA.
Positive thinking, or an optimistic attitude, is the practice of focusing on the good in any given situation. It can have a big impact on your physical and mental health.
That doesn't mean you ignore reality or make light of problems. It simply means you approach the good and the bad in life with the expectation that things will go well.
Career Development
Positive Psychology is the promotion of wellbeing and the creation of a satisfying life filled with meaning, pleasure, engagement, positive relationships and accomplishment.
It is the study of the conditions and processes that contribute to the flourishing or optimal functioning of people, groups, and institutions.
Positive psychology shifts the focus from what is clinically wrong to the promotion of wellbeing and the creation of a satisfying life. It focuses more on what makes already-functional people thrive even more.

Greetings from the windy city of Chicagoland and thank you for the very good and inspiring course to become a better English teacher. I am going through the course and so far it has been an excellent review of all the grammar I already knew but was in need of polishing. So all in all it is a five-star course for me. Thank you! Best George Gubbins Teacher of English.
