SUMMARY:Happy Brain Habits - with Loretta Breuning
DESCRIPTION:Can a better understanding of our brain chemicals help us be happier?\nWe often hear about mood-boosting chemicals – like dopamine\, oxytocin\, serotonin and endorphins. But if we want to learn how to influence these in our own brains and bodies\, we need to have a better understanding of what drives them. \nProfessor Loretta Breuning has spent many years studying the brain and how we evolved. She’s developed strategies for overcoming some of our less helpful evolutionary tendencies and identified practical actions we can use to harness our brain chemicals and boost our wellbeing. By training our brains to form helpful new pathways\, we can shift our mood and increase how happy we feel. \nThe event will take place on Zoom at 7pm London time (BST). \nTo see the start time in your time zone\, please click here. \nAbout The Speaker \nProfessor Loretta Breuning is the author of Habits of a Happy Brain and The Science of Positivity. She is the Founder of the Inner Mammal Institute and Professor Emerita of Management at California State University\, East Bay. Her work has appeared in The Wall Street Journal\, Psychology Today\, Real Simple\, Cosmopolitan\, Men’s Health\, and on Forbes\, NPR\, and numerous podcasts. \nThe event will be hosted by Dr Mark Williamson from Action for Happiness.

SUMMARY:Happiness in Dark Times: The Role of Positivity in Catalyzing Resilience
DESCRIPTION:Over the last two decades psychology research has shown that positivity has a significant role to play in our well-being.  Find out what the research is saying: learn how positive experiences can provide relief and hope in the worst moments; the importance of building meaning over time; and the increase of capacity\, engagement\, esteem and optimism when leveraging a growth mindset and character strengths. \nThis dynamic session will use discussion\, introspection and practical tools to examine how positive psychology-based principles and practices can help decrease suffering and catalyze resilience.  We’ll discuss the emerging model of post-traumatic growth and delve into the paradoxes of resilience. How can you coach your clients to hold both the difficult and positive\, the draining and life-giving\, the frightening and hopeful\, in order to build resilience? This webinar will show you how\, by demonstrating how to use character strengths to build stable internal resources\, discussing tools that enhance optimism such as gratitude\, and showing how to build cognitive flexibility and emotional agility at the same time.  Foundational to resilience is a growth mindset\, so we’ll look at how Carol Dweck’s teachings can work alongside building enduring resources through focusing on positivity.  Attendees will be encouraged to discuss how a positive psychology-based approach can enhance their existing models of practice.
