Strengths Gym draws on the latest research from Positive Psychology, that is the psychology of being happy, successful, and living life to the full. A strength is a way of thinking, feeling, or behaving that is either innate or which has developed early in life. Our strengths are our areas of greatest potential growth, the areas where we will excel. One of the key insights of positive psychology is that we get more of what we focus on. This course looks at personal well-being from a positive perspective, providing opportunities to consider prudent and considerate behavior, a healthy lifestyle, and good relationships. It does this through a focus on the behavior we do want rather than on the behavior we don't want. In particular it allows behavior to be looked at in the light of the strengths we already possess - and would benefit from using more. The course has broad applications outside of education, such as clinical and therapeutic settings, and is suitable for individual and group work. The materials can also be adapted for use with various age groups and abilities.
