• Wellness

    imageWellness is generally used to mean a healthy balance of the mind-body and spirit that results in an overall feeling of well-being.

    Wellness means much more than just being disease free.
  • Health

    imageHealth is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being.

    Achieving health and remaining healthy is an active process involving all aspects of human existence.
  • Mind

    imageOne must come to understand the inherent interconnection between the mind and body.

    Integration of the mind and body is a primary element in the process of healing and continued wellness.
  • Balance

    image Balance comes from the establishment of equilibrium between mind, body, and spirit through the continual cultivation of our daily existence.

    Without balance, our health and well-being suffer.
  • Journey

    imageWellness is a journey, not a destination.

Learned Optimism Print E-mail
optimismBy Martin E. Seligman

Martin E. Seligman is the 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.
