TODAY´S GUEST
My guest today is Dr. Paul Jenkins, and in this episode, Dr. Paul and I talk about the power of the mind and how we can rewire our brain for positivity. Dr. Paul shares his story of how he found his passion for positive psychology after working as a traditional psychotherapist for about 12 years.
He talks about the profound principles of evaluation and creation and explains how we can train our brain to create space for choice… evaluate something positively and create a positive future outcome instead of a negative one. Everything comes down to our choices that can be made at the present moment through metacognition. Dr. Paul explains that in the episode as well.
He also shares two simple brain hacks that you can immediately implement in your life to increase happiness and positivity.
Dr. Paul Jenkins is a clinical psychologist specializing in the science and practice of positivity. As a coach, keynote speaker, trainer, author, and the host of a popular podcast – Live On Purpose Radio – and YouTube channel – Live On Purpose TV -, Dr. Paul empowers individuals, families, and influencers to go far beyond traditional therapy or positive thinking programs to create and live the life they love through powerful positive psychology processes.
For over two decades now, his clients and colleagues, family and friends have accused him of being pathologically positive. He´s decided to embrace that title as the theme of his practice (and the title of his first book – Pathological Positivity).
From a psychological perspective, the word “pathological” means disordered, disconnected from reality, crazy. It may sound a little crazy to consider the possibility that we can take a positive position – no matter what! You will see very quickly from this model exactly how and why that is possible.
The word “pathological” also means compulsively driven, as in the phrase, “pathological liar.” They just can’t stop themselves from doing it. One who is pathologically positive has a dogged determination to find or create the positive in every life circumstance, no matter how difficult.
What happens when everyone in an organization becomes pathologically positive? People experience a higher level of joy and satisfaction, relationships improve, problems are solved, innovation happens, stuff gets done, life gets better.
