EFR 574: The Science of Success - Simple Steps to Hack Happiness Using Positive Psychology With Niyc Pidgeon

Niyc Pidgeon is a life coach and the author of the best-selling book, Now Is Your Chance, which talks about living a happy life by implementing positive psychology principles into your life. Starting her career as a personal trainer, helping people with their health and fitness goals, Niyc was often approached by her clients as a counsellor for their emotional and mental issues. Those interactions made her realize the intangible link – between the mind and the body, making her want to explore it in depth. Eventually, Niyc studied positive psychology and made it her mission to change the lives of humans using its principles. In today's discussion, Niyc and Chase unwind the core principles of positive psychology and how it drives noticeable change in the lives of humans. Niyc explains why positive psychology isn't only about happy things but instead involves finding the light in situations, however bad they may be. As research states, it's about finding 'three positive emotions for every negative emotion' (the ratio may vary depending on your situation and state, but the principle stays intact). It's about breaking away from rumination and focussing on the 'now'. You'll learn to differentiate a fixed mindset from a growth mindset and discover the huge importance of cultivating a growth mindset to stay positive. Moreover, you'll learn the changes that can be brought into your mindset by being non-judgmental, curious, and operating at your edge: all foundations to cultivating positive psychology. Remember, your emotions are likely contagious; you can always choose to spread a smile.   Follow Niyc @niycpidge Follow Chase @chase_chewning   Episode resources: Get AG1 from Athletic Greens and free year of vitamin D and 5 travel packs at http://athleticgreens.com/everforward Save 15% on the instant organic lattes from Strong Coffee Company with code CHASE at www.StrongCoffeeCompany.com  Watch on YouTube at https://youtu.be/f1lvQ8v6Bs0  Get Niyc's book https://amzn.to/3Gp4tVb  Get When the Body Says No https://amzn.to/3umcV5d  Get The Slight Edge https://amzn.to/34GBYFk
