Positive Psychology Skills: Learned Optimism

Workshop Content: By replacing our negative thought patterns with more realistic and optimistic thoughts we stimulate the production of dopamine and serotonin hormones in our brain which consequently make us feel good and up-lifted. Doing this on a regular basis can bring better physical, emotional and mental health to the extent that we flourish and thrive more than we ever imagined.
