This week was all about recognizing our strengths and values and using them to our best advantage. I love the fact that it is all scientifically based and am surprised so little research has been done so far on what makes us happy and lead a meaningful life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But now I\u2019ve got to start planning an essay I have to write at the end of the course to get the certification. I think it must be 45 years since I last wrote an essay for an exam and that was on my dear manual typewriter which I now keep safely under my desk rather on it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am thinking about focusing on WOOP and procrastination as I have some dear friends who tend to put things off \ud83d\ude0aand I\u2019m hoping that I can try some positive psychology out on them \ud83d\ude0a.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So what is WOOP? Well it stands for Wish, Outcome, Obstacle, Plan and is a practical, easy-to-use evidence-based activity that can help you to fulfil your wishes. Imagine you have a <strong>Wish<\/strong> to learn more vocabulary in English for which the <strong>Outcome<\/strong> could be greater self-confidence. Instead of thinking I never seem to have time, think about the <strong>Obstacle<\/strong> which is preventing you from doing it, maybe surfing on social media after dinner when you could be learning a few words :-). So you make a <strong>Plan<\/strong> to learn five new words when you feel like going onto Instagram etc., maybe using flashcards, a small step which over time could become a big step!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am planning to apply it to my Obstacle and passion for crisps which could be hindering me in my Wish to lose some weight \ud83d\ude0a\u2026 wish me luck!&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have actually just returned from Berlin and the second inspiring week of my Positive Psychology course.
