While we teach our children all about life, our children teach us what life is all about ☀️ • • • #children #childrenarethefuture #parenting #enjoylife #happiness #enjoythelittlethingsinlife #life #joy #mindfulness #liveinthemoment #contributetothefuture #family #smile #present #bepresent #positivepsychology #mentalhealth #psychology #inspiration #inspired #inspiredsxm #sxm
Anger is an emotion that can have a negative impact on your health and well being. On a psychological level you could jump on the train of negative thoughts, which will physically increase the already high level of the stress hormone cortisol, your blood pressure and can even result in feelings of anxiety and depression.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Anger is a negative emotion, but it is part of the whole package of emotions. And once you learn to acknowledge both the positive and the negative emotions, you allow yourself to be more aware of what is going on and you create the opportunity to deal with it adequately. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ If you look at what is causing anger for example, it is usually something that is standing in our way to reach our goals. Take a moment and you could find something you would like to change, indirectly anger is then contributing to your overall happiness. 🌻⠀⠀ ⠀ •⠀ •⠀ •⠀ #anger #emotions #negativeemotions #positiveemotions #coping #copingskills #adequatecoping #awareness #acknowledge #acceptance #accept #act #mindfulness #positivepsychology #psychology #mentalhealth #inspiration #inspired #inspiredsxm #sxm
It is the color blue that calms us down, the sound of the waves, the wind in our hair and the smell of the ocean that brings us in a mild meditative state. All our senses processing the ocean view 🌊⠀ ⠀ Usually when we decide to go to the beach, we already tend to be more relaxed. But when doing this in a mindful way, being in the present, by focusing your attention on all those above mentioned sensations, you may even release some stress and built on your resilience. ⠀ ⠀ Did you know the team of Inspired consists of two psychologists both certified trainers in mindfulness?

The character strength of hope has to do with positive expectations about the future. It involves optimistic thinking and focusing on good things to come. Hope is more than a feel-good emotion. It serves as a motivator and gives you the confidence that goals can be reached. ⠀ ⠀ Even when life gets rough, hope can keep us going. It is the light at the end of the tunnel. It contributes to our resilience, being able to bounce back. ⠀ ⠀ One reminder: Balance is the key in everything, same with hope. When you are too focused on your future goals, you may forget about living in the present. There is never a guarantee the future will be what you hoped for. So when the present is difficult, remember life is changing constantly. Hope for a better future but at the same time process what is going on in the here and now and be aware of every tiny step of progress. 🌱 • • • #hope #characterstrength #strengths #positivefeeling #futurethoughts #resilience #bounceback #hardtimes #betterfuture #change #lifeisconstantlychanging #liveinthepresent #mindfulness #progress #tinysteps #positivepsychology #mentalhealth #wellbeing #psychology #inspiration #inspired #inspiredsxm #sxm
Increasing the quality of life in people of over 60 years through a positive psychology, it can be done!⠀ ⠀ Positive ageing is a term used to describe the process of maintaining a positive attitude, feeling good about yourself, keeping fit and healthy, and engaging fully in life as you age. Australian Psychological Society⠀ ⠀ In a study a training based on autobiographical memory, forgiveness and gratitude was given to 46 participants aged 60–93 years.⠀ ⠀ The results revealed that participants who followed the program (experimental group) showed a significant decrease in state anxiety and depression as well as an increase in specific memories, life satisfaction and subjective happiness, compared with the placebo group.⠀ ⠀ The program offered promising results and provides evidence for the effectiveness of positive interventions in the field of psychogerontology, helping increase subjective well-being and quality of life in older adults by focusing interventions on the enhancement of personal and social resources for being happy (E. Ramírez, A.R. Ortega, A. Chamorro & J.M. Colmenero, 2014) ⠀ ⠀ What you can do to stay graceful?⠀ ⠀ Keep a healthy lifestyle: 1. lower stress⠀ 2. keep a positive attitude of gratitude (check our profile for the gratitude challenge!)⠀ 3. keep your brain active by for example reading and sudoku.⠀ 4. be physically active⠀ 5. stay in contact with family and friends⠀ ⠀ #qualityoflife #olderadults #grateful #gratitude #forgiveness #anxiety #depression #memories #lifesatisfaction #subjectivehappiness #happiness #wellbeing #elderly #resilience #brainflexibility #neuroplasticity #positivepsychology #inspiration #inspired #inspiredsxm #sxm ⠀
Waves come and they go, sometimes they leave something behind on shore. It could be a reminder from the past, or a goal for the future. It is up to you if you pick it up or let the ocean wash it away 🌊 • • • #ocean #waves #wavescomeandgo #remindersofthepast #futuregoals #personalownership #decideinthehereandnow #live #life #beachtreasures #hiddenbeach #petitescayes #treasures #positivepsychology #mentalhealth #yourchoice #inspiration #inspired #inspiredsxm #sxm
