Positive Emotions: Learning about optimism with Magical Moments

This week we have begun to learn strategies to help us grow our optimism. Optimism is all about finding ways to solve problems or build our positive outlook during challenging times.

This week's strategy is called Magical Moment. Capturing a moment that we've enjoyed by think about it carefully helps us to build positive thinking brain connections and fills our bodies with positive emotions. You can learn more about the science behind this here.

Magical Moments can be as simple as remembering something delicious, a funny joke, or a special moment with someone we care about. The most important part is spending time thinking and absorbing all the positives about the experience.

Over the coming weeks we will practise this strategy and learn a few new ones as well.
