EXPERIENCE THE UPWARD SPIRAL AND FLOURISH In these challenging times, we spend most of our days worrying about the future; our finances, our career, our children, our wellbeing, important relationships, and things we cannot change. Many of us are longing to be happier, healthier, and more hopeful about a very uncertain future. Everywhere we turn the messages we receive tend to accentuate the negative, and the 'full catastrophe' - the good, the bad and the ugly, which sends us into orbit. We forget about the positive things that once made us feel joyful, grateful, and engaged with life. We put on a happy or grumpy face, mask our true feelings and emotions, and suffer in silence, until the next catastrophe. Drained of zest, energy, and enthusiasm we fall into the pits of despair and languish, because we don't know what else to do. But what if there was another way? In The Gift of Positivity Barbara Miller, a psychologist and transformational life coach, dispels the myth of the 'negativity bias', and distils the wisdom of 'positivity' with mindful art practice, that combine to broaden and build your resilience and key strengths to bounce back from setbacks and become the best version of yourself. Throughout the process the reader will create a unique 'Positivity Portfolio" with images that represent emotions such as joy, gratitude and love and apply coaching strategies and mindfulness to create a healthier, more vibrant, and flourishing life. As you progress your positivity portfolio you'll understand how to: -Tap into your own source of heartfelt positivity -Savour more positive emotions and think like an optimist -Tame your 'inner critic' with mindfulness and self-compassion -Boost your "positivity ratio" and improve it over time-Activate key strengths to flourish the mindful way. And much, much more. In this inspiring and creative book, Barbara Miller draws on 20 years of experience as an organisational psychologist empowering people from all occupations, to focus on what's right with them - rather than what's wrong and achieve meaningful goals. Combining mindfulness with neuroplasticity - the brain's ability to adapt and change, with her own creative practices and passion for learning, Barbara is committed to passing on the 'secrets of wellbeing and happiness' and teaching others how to flourish.
