BlogsBeautiful DaySubmitted by Lauren on Sun, 03/02/2008 - 1:50am.
Ever since we received the Living Positive Psychology interventions, I had looked forward to the “Beautiful Day” exercise. I started brainstorming weeks in advance about what activities would comprise the perfect day. My number-one-most-perfect-day-ever consisted of this:
➢ Wake-up and lay in bed for about a half an hour, letting my brain wake up at its own pace. ➢ Workout for about 45 minutes. Running on the treadmill, beating my previous time. ➢ Eat a delicious breakfast at the Bread Peddler. Savoring deliciousness and not thinking about how many calories are in Mornay sauce.

On Saturday, February 23rd students of the 2008 Positive Psychology program visited the EMP—or Experience Music Project—and Science Fiction Museum in Seattle. Our assignment was to identify real-life examples of concepts learned in class.
Our three vans left the Evergreen bus loop at 9:30 a.m. Saturday morning, and arrived at EMP at around 10:30 a.m. An EMP employee gave our group a brief overview of the museum’s layout and suggested activities that we might find relevant to our assignment. Once inside the museum, we broke up into smaller groups to explore. My group consisted of: Brandon, Jill, Lisa, and Lisa’s daughter. We decided to begin with the “On Stage” activity, in which participants pretend to be a performing rock band. As we waited in line, we were joined Taurell—who added a much-needed cowbell to our stirring rendition of I Love Rock n’ Roll, by Joan Jett & the Blackhearts.

Karen Jones Forgiveness Intervention Positive Psychology Right now when I think about forgiveness I can’t think of anyone I need to forgive. I know that there have been people in the past who have hurt me, but I’m not sure I want to bring back past hurts right now. Since that’s the first element of REACH, I’m not ready to continue with this part of the process just yet. Beautiful DaySubmitted by Karen Jones on Sat, 03/01/2008 - 11:25pm.

Karen Jones Field Trip Positive Psychology The first week of class, my curiosity sparked at the idea of a surprise field trip! A few weeks later we discovered that we were going to The Experience Music Project. Hooray! A class trip, what a great idea! On the drive up to Seattle, the sun was shining and I was excited to be doing something different. During the quarter it’s hard to get away. My mood was way up! |
