Optimism Sedgwick

‘It’s not the events that happen to us that define our happiness and success, but how we interpret them.’

The impact of the pandemic has affected us all; either directly as a result of the disease, or indirectly as a result of changing circumstances. We can’t change the effects the virus has had on us, our families and friends or our circumstances, but we can help you think differently about the effects.

In this session we look at how our brains work to determine how we see life. The opportunity we have to choose how we think. And the impact that has on how we feel and behave.

We explore why an optimistic mindset could make such a game changing difference right now and even more crucially, how to do it.

Optimism teaches us to accept ‘it is what it is’, and stop worrying about the things we can’t control. We can then shift our thinking, to focus on what we want, rather than dwelling on the problem.

You can expect the session to be fun, highly interactive and seriously practical.
