Harvard Positive Psychology

我在空档期看了这个课程,拍了很多截图。这个课程对我帮助很大。因为我今天顺便清理了一下我的老照片,是时候把它们变成文字了。

Psychological maturity is about the ability to willingly shift perspective.

Goal

The step on the way to a destination that you deem valuable that is important to you.

So end goal can often be liberating.

One of the reasons is because love, and especially lust and passion wears over time.

They are also extremely sensitive, wise, way beyond their years, saintly, generous, benevolent

Exercise

The wonder drug: 30 minutes of physical exercise, 4 times a week.
At least 15 minutes of mindful exercise 6 or 7 times a week.

I have so many things to do.

Exercise should be the last thing to go. It is an investment.

You may lose that 45 minutes. But you’ll gain so much more. It’s such a good investment. Your memory actually gets better when you exercise. So you’ll get more buck for the bank in terms of time you study; your creativity and concentration levels go up

Whether you have ADD or not, especially if you have.

Relationship

People stay together out of a sense of duty, out of habit, because they think this is their lot in life.

A lack of alternative

“do unto others what you would unto yourself.”

“do not do unto yourself what you would not do unto others.”

Love

“Perfect love is rare indeed - for to be a lover will require that you continually have the subtlety of the very wise, the flexibility of the child, the sensitivity of the artist, the understanding of the philosopher, the acceptance of the saint, the tolerance of the scholar and the fortitude of the certain.”

But while perfect love doesn’t exist, true love dose. True love exists between imperfect humans.

I will find that right person. I don’t believe that. It’s simply not true. It’s not the matter of faith.

So what makes relationship unique? It’s not finding that one right person. Once again it’s cultivating that one chosen relationship. It’s by virtue of working together, of being together, of spending time together, of dedicating one another. That’s how we create the one chosen relationship. That’s how we create the one chosen relationship.
