The power of a positivity practice – Ep 104 with Diane Lang

The power of a positivity practice Ep 104 with Diane Lang

Diane Lang and I chat about how most of us have a story that has led us to the field of helping, just as I believe that next Chapters are often built on skinned knees.

We may have even experienced Post-Traumatic Growth, that brilliant gift of insight, empathy, compassion, and wisdom that comes as a result of challenges we’ve overcome and learned from. Once we’ve healed and have a degree of distance, we can then use our experiences as the foundation for our work in the world.

An important part of this internal journey is the cultivation of a Positivity Practice, drawn from the Positive Psychology movement, which helps you to develop a robust and resilient mental and spiritual attitude that will have sweeping benefits in your business and life.

Such good advice with many practical tips in this episode!
