"[Imagining and setting goals for your life:] In the past I've encouraged my students to draft their obituary as part of an extra-credit exercise, asking them to write it as they wished it to appear after a long life. I know it sounds morbid, but this assignment is an excellent way to expose the gap between how people live their lives and how they want to be remembered. It's a sobering experience at any age. The real benefit, of course, is that the writer gets to confront any such inconsistencies before it's too late. I can't tell you how many students have told me that this experience was a real wake-up call for them - one that I hope has changed many lives. We all must ask ourselves, if our obituaries were written today, would we be happy with what was written?" - Martin Seligman

"Flow is the mental state of operation in which a person performing an activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized FOCUS [concentration], full involvement [engagement], and enjoyment in the process of the activity... The hallmark of flow is a feeling of spontaneous joy, even rapture, while performing a task although flow is also described... as a deep focus ['mindfulness'] on nothing but the activity – not even oneself or one’s emotions." - Martin Seligman

"[Giving thanks and vocalizing the blessings we do have is a key to happiness!] Simply writing down three things that went well during the day and why, or writing a note of gratitude and delivering it personally, produced better results than anti-depressant medication and psychotherapy. [In this study of 500 participants, 94 percent of severely depressed people became less depressed and 92 percent became happier, with an average symptom relief of an astounding 50 percent over only 15 days.] " - Professor Martin Seligman
Director of the Positive Psychology Center at the University of Pennsylvania.

"Decreasing depression...
We looked at the effect on severe depression of doing just the first ... exercise, three blessings [- writing down three things that went well today and why].
Depressive symptoms were substantially reduced and happiness markedly increased.
In this uncontrolled study, 94% of severely depressed people became less depressed and 92% became happier, with an average symptom relief of a whopping 50% over only 15 days.
This compares very favourably with anti-depressant medication and with psychotherapy." - Professor Martin Seligman
Director, Positive Psychology Center, University of Pennsylvania. [http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/happiness_formula/4903464.stm ]

| [Quote No.48907] Need Area: Fun > General
"The optimists and the pessimists: I have been studying them for the past twenty-five years. The defining characteristic of pessimists is that they tend to believe bad events will last a long time, will undermine everything they do, and are their own fault. The optimists, who are confronted with the same hard knocks of this world, think about misfortune in the opposite way. They tend to believe defeat is just a temporary setback, that its causes are confined to this one case. The optimists believe defeat is not their fault: Circumstances, bad luck, or other people brought it about. Such people are unfazed by defeat. Confronted by a bad situation, they perceive it as a challenge and try harder." - Dr. Martin Seligman
Father of the Positive Psychology movement. Quote from his book, 'Learned Optimism: How to Change Your Mind and Your Life'.
