Do you know what happens to your brain when you rest? Do you know what is likely to happen if you don't rest enough? This excellent book is well worth a read. I've just published my review of it here:

Isle of Skye #Scotland on a windy and rainy February day a few years ago. Such a beautiful and wild place. Hope to go again one day.

Adding a deep dive into meaning & purpose has broadened my appreciation of positive psychology still further and equipped me with even more skills and understanding to help coach people. Great to achieve my certification as a practitioner.

S is for Spiritual Goals - they may be related to a belief system or religion, or may simply be awakening our sense of wonder at the universe, for example. Positive psychology research shows that engaging in meaningful spirituality is beneficial for our wellbeing. #spirituality #positivepsychology

L is for Learning Goals - can be formal or informal - structured or free play & experimentation. They can be an opportunity for new experiences as well as new information. Learning can increase our sense of competence and autonomy – 2 of our key psychological needs.

A is for Altruistic Goals - they are about helping others without focussing on what we can get back in return. They may be driven by our beliefs, values or passions. We aim for these goals because we feel it is the right thing to do. It may be about righting a sense of injustice, for example.

O is for Optimisation Goals - seeking to find an ideal level. Require a degree of flexibility & to allow ourselves to become comfortable with experimentation. Trial & error and feedback from failure are not problems, but steps forward when seeking to optimise something.

Types of Goals - Growth Goals

These are self-development goals & may overlap with learning, developing our character, living out our ethics, etc.

Growth Goals may have precise targets we want to reach or they might be much looser, aiming to get "better" or expand our horizons.

Anyone can become disabled.

Anyone can lose their job.

Anyone can become homeless.

Anyone can go hungry.

These are not moral failings. They can happen in an instant.

Most people are far closer to living in poverty than they realize.

We must fight for one another & for the most vulnerable.

Prefer this one - the other 2 earlier were fun but I think this is more up my street. Made brushes from music font to add into the mix

Playing around with a grunge texture I made in Blender and turned into a brush to use in Boris FX Optics to create a new background for this image

Experimenting making textures for backgrounds. This guitar was on a very plain background originally so I thought I'd play about with some other possibilities using @borisfx.bsky.social Optics #Ibanez #guitar #photography
