Manage episode 378759348 series 3482080
Creativity connects to everything! This episode explores the intersection between positive psychology, creativity, and personal growth. Positive psychology emphasizes well-being, happiness, and personal growth as well as subjective well-being, positive emotions, character strengths, resilience, and flourishing, all of which are relevant to your creativity and personal transformation.
Here is a five-step strategy for change that seamlessly integrates positive psychology and creativity. This includes finding your intrinsic motivation to discover your deeply held desires, values, and motivations,
- Preparation: The preparation stage emphasizes the importance of readiness and planning before embarking on change. Dr. Backos underscores the value of workshops, self-care, and journaling in this process.
- Imaginary Hindsight: This creative visualization technique is introduced as a means to envision a future self who has achieved their goals. Dr. Backos connects this to the psychology of mental rehearsal and prospective thinking.
- Persistence Strategies: Dr. Backos highlights the significance of persistence in sustaining change. She emphasizes the importance of suspending judgment, overcoming resistance, and gradually implementing daily habits, drawing parallels to the psychology of habit formation and self-regulation.
- Celebration: The final step underscores the need to celebrate achievements and milestones along the journey. Dr. Backos connects this to positive reinforcement and encourages listeners to celebrate both small and significant accomplishments.
