Knowledge comes with curiosity, interest and involvement in its pursuit; wisdom is gained through years of study and application. It is within our nature to seek activities that lift our spirits, whether they be beneficial [dance, sports, yoga, entertainment et al], or destructive [like drinking to excess or drugs]. However, even those beneficial activities depend on our mindset. Engaging in activities in a negative state of mind will most often lead to a much less satisfying outcome.
Extensive research has been done by medical and scholastic scientists on the mind’s ability to empower and heal the body. Please visit the links listed below for a few examples.
Dr. Martin Seligman is director of the University of Pennsylvania Positive Psychology Center and founder of Positive Psychology, a new branch of psychology which focuses on the empirical study of such things as positive emotions, strengths-based character, and healthy institutions. His research has demonstrated that it is possible to be happier — to feel more satisfied, to be more engaged with life, find more meaning, have higher hopes, and probably even laugh and smile more, regardless of one’s circumstances. Positive psychology interventions can also lastingly decrease depression symptoms. The research underlying these rigorously tested interventions is presented in the July/August edition of the American Psychologist, the journal of the American Psychology Association.
