  Number one, I say this often set clear goals.
• 3:05

  Define what you want to achieve.

  Clear objectives, provide direction and motivation, helping you to stay on track when challenges arise.

• 3:25
  I know that may seem obvious, but seek activities that actually push your boundaries.
• 3:31
  But remain attainable with effort.
• 3:34
  Positive psychology teaches us that the right level of challenge enhances motivation and engagement.
• 3:42
  Number three, stay fully engaged, immerse yourself completely in the task.
• 3:48
  Positive psychology highlights the value of being in the present moment.

  Minimize distractions, focus on the task at hand and let the outside world fade away.
• 4:01
  Number four seek feedback.
• 4:03
  Embrace feedback as a tool for growth.
• 4:06
  Positive psychology encourages the growth mindset, where you view challenges and setbacks as opportunities to learn and improve.
• 4:15
  It's happening for you not to you.
• 4:18
  And feedback helps you adjust and enhance your performance.
• 4:23
  Number five, enjoy the process.
• 4:25
  Find joy in the journey not just the destination.
