We wanted to make sure we're taking care of those things that are um sort of below um sort of clinical line that are clinical issues . Um Positive psychology really focused on what's right about people and signature strengths , character virtues . It's really about happiness and more than that positive emotion , positive relationships .
And it was a , a course in miracles which I love so much , which said something like you accomplish so little because of an undisciplined mind and that we're much too tolerant of mind wandering , right ? And so the idea there is just be your own best friend and your own best advocate and focus on the parts of yourself and life and others that makes you feel good when you focus on it . Right .
And so , you know , I thought that was odd and I decided to postpone the suicide for like just 15 minutes at the time and it eventually bled into an hour and more or it's been over two decades . But I just started doing some research and , uh , eventually in that research , I discovered positive psychology . Wow , that's just an amazing story .
It's not about faking it . It's about being intentional and strategic and deliberate about how and where and what you focus on . Right ?
Has to do with having a more disciplined mind and deciding , right . I'm going to focus on my partner's strengths and it doesn't mean I won't have boundaries . Of course , obviously , I will or I will tell the truth about how I feel , but I can control what I focus on .
