Positive Psychology: A Better Way to Set Goals

Why do we teach positive psychology?

The main reason people set goals is ultimately that they want to flourish or thrive in life. It's rarely only about the outcome. Positive psychology, and the over 10,000 published studies, all seek to add to what we know about the following questions...

What does a flourishing life look like?
How can we accomplish a highly positive state of life?
How can we thrive in all area's of life?

One aspect of flourishing is accomplishment and goal setting is a key tool in this area. Others area's of flourishing include:

feeling good - enjoying life
being fully engaged in life
seeing the meaning behind things
being capable in relating with others
growing and developing as a person
and much more

So a person who is flourishing loves life, feels good, is fully engaged and active, has many great relationships and enjoys connecting with others, and feels what they do is highly meaningful.

We combine learning about setting goals with the science of positive psychology to make your experience a more positive and successful one.

"The content (of positive psychology) itself - happiness, flow, meaning, love, gratitude, accomplishment, growth, better relationships - constitutes human flourishing. Learning that you can have more of these things is life changing" (Seligman, 2011)

Helping You to Coach Yourself

We combine science from positive psychology with evidence-based coaching techniques to help you unlock your potential. This means, all our articles and tools aim to help you reflect, plan, and break-through stuck places. We ask the right questions guided by coaching psychology and facilitate the kind of quality reflection that most empowers you to move forward again and again.

"Coaching Psychology is 'the scientific study and application of behaviour, cognition and emotion to deepen our understanding of individuals' and groups' performance, achievement and wellbeing, and to enhance practice within coaching'" - British Psychological Society

As a professional coach in the UK for the past 8 years, I’ve guided leaders, business owners, students, and those struggling with their wellbeing, to a flourishing life by bringing clarity, structure, and focus to their goal-setting process. I bring this experience to all WiseGoals articles, tools, and more.
