  Positive psychology?

  Positive psychology is like the sunshine for your mind.
• 3:35
  It's all about focusing on what's right with you and your life.

  Instead of dwelling on the negatives, it's like having a super power that lets you see the bright side.

  Positive psychology is like your personal cheerleader, encouraging you to grow.

  Thrive and live your best life.
• 4:02
  But wait, I can hear you now.
• 4:05
  Is it positivity toxic sometimes?
• 4:08
  Yeah.
• 4:08
  That's a great question.
• 4:10
  There's a bit of a mix-up going on.
• 4:12
  When they say.
• 4:13
  Positivity is toxic.
• 4:15
  You see positivity itself is not toxic.
• 4:19
  It's like a toolbox full of tools.
• 4:22
  You can use them to build amazing things, but if you use them carelessly, they might not work out so well.
• 4:28
  Positivity turns toxic when it's used to ignore problems or hide real emotions.
• 4:35
  It's like slapping a bandaid on a deep wound.
• 4:38
  It just won't help.
• 4:40
  True positivity, embraces challenges, acknowledges feelings, and then works on finding the silver lining.

  The five day reality creation challenge.
• 5:12
  So I'm going to give you 10 actionable steps that you could start today to help you find flow in your day to day life.
• 5:20
  Step number one, choose an activity, you love.
• 5:24
  Think about something you enjoy doing.
• 5:26
  It could be playing an instrument, painting, solving, puzzles, cooking, or even dancing.
• 5:32
  The key is to pick an activity that lights you up and makes you forget about time.
• 5:39
  Step number two, set clear goals.
• 5:41
  Decide what you want to achieve while doing this activity.
• 5:45
  Having clear goals gives your mind something to focus on, and it helps you stay engaged.
• 5:50
  Whether it's completing a certain level, finishing a painting or perfecting a recipe goals are your guiding stars.
• 6:00
  Step number three, get rid of distractions.
• 6:03
  Find a quiet space where you won't be constantly interrupted.
• 6:07
  Turn off notifications, put your phone on silent and create a peaceful environment that helps you stay in the zone.
• 6:15
  Step number four, start with small steps.
• 6:19
  If you're new to the activity, start with manageable tasks.
• 6:22
  As you build your skills.
• 6:24
  You'll naturally challenge yourself more.
• 6:26
  Remember flow happens when the challenge matches your skill level, and we will be talking about that a lot more in this series.
• 6:36
  Step number five, focus on the present moment.
• 6:39
  Banish worries about the past or the future.
• 6:42
  Focus entirely on what you are doing now.
• 6:45
  This is where the magic happens.
• 6:47
  If your thoughts are wandering gently, bring them back to the present moment.
• 6:52
  I practice this when I'm doing mundane tasks like washing dishes or cleaning the house, and it really does bring you into flow.
• 7:00
  That's what I'm talking about.
• 7:02
  When I make flow a priority, I hit everything that I go into with that mindset.
• 7:09
  Step number six, embrace challenges.
• 7:12
  Don't shy away from challenges.
• 7:14
  Flow is most likely to occur when you're pushing your boundaries and stretching your abilities, embrace the discomfort and know that it's a sign that you're growing.
• 7:23
  See, I told you positive psychology is not toxic.
• 7:27
  Step number seven, lose track of time.
• 7:31
  When you're in flow time seems to disappear.
• 7:34
  You're so absorbed in the activity that you forget about everything else.
• 7:38
  It's a fantastic feeling like a mini vacation for your mind.
• 7:43
  Step number eight, reflect and learn.
• 7:47
  After your flow session, take a moment to reflect.
• 7:50
  What did you learn?
• 7:51
  How did you feel during the activity?
• 7:53
  And what challenges did you overcome?
• 7:56
  This reflection helps you understand your journey and encourages growth.
• 8:01
  Step number nine.
• 8:03
  For every athlete.
• 8:04
  This is a huge step.
• 8:07
  It's got practice, practice and practice.
• 8:10
  And I say athlete because athletes get in the zone.
• 8:14
  You know, finding flow might not happen instantly.
• 8:17
  And that's okay.
• 8:18
  Keep practicing your chosen activity regularly.
• 8:23
  The more you do it, the more likely you are to experience the magical state of flow.
• 8:29
  Step number 10.
• 8:30
  Be patient and kind to yourself.
• 8:33
  Remember, this is a journey.
• 8:35
  Be patient with yourself.
• 8:37
  As you explore and experiment, don't judge yourself too harshly.
• 8:40
  If you don't find flow right away, it's a process and each step counts.
• 8:46
  So there you go flow seeker.
• 8:49
  Get ready to experience the joy focus and exhilaration of flow.
• 8:53
  As you embark on this adventure.
• 8:54
  Remember the journey itself is a wonderful ride.
