Positive Psychology

I finished up my yoga session today with a few restorative poses.  I almost feel asleep in Corpse Pose. What's with me in the past few days? It seems all I have done is sleep.  I had lunch with friends yesterday, came home, fell asleep, got up around 7:30pm and ate supper, then fell back to sleep until 4:30 this morning.  Aye yi yi!  Now my body wants to sleep again. Don't get me wrong, I love sleeping, but I usually don't do this much.  Maybe my body is finally catching up on the sleep it's been missing in the past few weeks. After all, I have been pretty restless the past few weeks.  I suppose it had to normalize at some point.


I have the most amazing circle of friends.  A few of us got together for lunch at The Old Spaghetti Factory yesterday.  Lots of laughs and good discussions.  They all radiate really positive, supportive energy. A few mentioned before the group met that they were experiencing some feelings of unworthiness.  The very topic that I have been blogging about lately. We all struggle with our self-esteem for time-to-time.  As many of you know, I have been a psychology until very recently when I switched Sociology.  One of the topics that I was taught about besides Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, is Positive Psychology.  Positive Psychology is not to be confused with positive thinking.  Positive Psychology is about being in each moment to enjoy it fully. I have found a lecture on Ted Talks that presents the subject well.  Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FBxfd7DL3E&feature=share
