CENTER FOR WELL BEING AND POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGY

Dear Readers,

In a world where getting hurt and disappoint-

ment is inevitable, forgiveness stands as a

beacon of hope, oering solace and healing to

wounded souls. Today, we delve into the

profound topic of forgiveness, an art that has

the transformative power to release us from

the shackles of resentment and pain and lead

us toward inner peace and healing.

Forgiveness is a profound act of self-love and

liberation. When we harbor resentment, anger,

or bitterness towards those who have

wronged us, we inadvertently allow the past to

dictate our present and future. The weight of

unresolved grievances burdens our hearts and

minds, impeding our ability to experience true

joy and fulllment.

However, forgiveness does not mean condon-

ing or forgetting the actions that caused us

harm. Rather, it is a conscious decision to

release the grip of negative emotions and

reclaim our power to live fully in the present

moment. It is a journey towards understand-

ing, empathy, and ultimately, freedom from

the chains of the past.

Yet, the path to forgiveness is not always easy.

It requires courage, vulnerability, and a willing-

Peace and Healing

ness to confront our deepest wounds. It may

involve confronting painful memories,

acknowledging our role in the situation, and

embracing empathy toward those who have

hurt us. It is a process that unfolds gradually,

often with its own setbacks and challenges.

But with each step taken towards forgiveness,

we inch closer to the profound peace and heal-

ing that await us on the other side.

Research in positive psychology has shown

that forgiveness is closely linked to improved

mental and physical health. Studies have

found that individuals who practice forgive-

ness experience lower levels of stress, anxiety,

and depression, along with enhanced overall

well-being. Moreover, forgiveness has been

associated with stronger interpersonal rela-

tionships, greater resilience in the face of

adversity, and a deeper sense of inner peace.

As we navigate the complexities of life, let us

remember that forgiveness is not a sign of

weakness, but rather a testament to our

strength and resilience. It is a gift we give

ourselves, a gift of freedom, healing, and inner

peace. May we embrace the art of forgiveness

with open hearts and minds, and may it guide

us towards a brighter, more compassionate

future.

YUMNA QURESHI

Since ancient time people have argued about

the possible connection between creativity and

mental illness. The ancient Greeks believed that

creative inspiration was achieved through

altered states of mind such as ‘divine madness’.

Aristotle equated insanity with genius. In 1889,

Cesare Lombroso published a book called “The

Man of Genius” (this book represented one of

the rst attempts to analyze the works of the

mentally ill) in which he argued that genius was

a form of insanity. Today the interest in this area

has increased manifold and there is ongoing

research to establish the link between creativity

and psychopathology. Although, there is plenty

of literature in this area, the ndings remain

inconclusive and the debate continues. There

are certainly many creative people who have

some form of mental illness. But not all creative

people have mental illness. Similarly, majority of

people with mental illness have no creativity at

all. But, let’s see rst what we mean by creativity

and mental illness.

Creativity comes from the Latin word creatus,

literally “to have grown”. Producing or bringing

about something partly or wholly new; invest-

ing an existing object with new properties or

characteristics; in imagining new possibilities

that were not conceived of before; and in seeing

or performing something in a manner dierent

from what was thought possible or normal

previously.

Mental illness or mental disorder are terms used

TANVIR_RANA@ HOTMAIL.COM

to refer psychological pattern that occurs in an

individual and is usually associated with distress

or disability that is not expected as part of

normal development. A number of mental

disturbances, such as Depression and Persoznal-

ity Disorders etc. are very common psychologi-

cal problems of the modern era (ICD-11

&DSM-VTR)

Many researchers have attempted to answer the

question, whether creative individuals vulnera-

ble to mental illness? One of the pioneer studies

in this area was conducted by the psychologists

Rushton (1961) and Andreason (1987) found

that creativity is correlated with intelligence and

psychosis. Similarly, Ludwig (1989), in his paper,

Reections on Creativity and Madness,

concludes that although not a prerequisite, a

touch of madness could enhance creativity.

Ludwig (1995) in his book, The Price of Great-

ness: Resolving the Creativity and Madness Con-

troversy examined the lives and achievements

of over 1000 extraordinary men and women and

concluded that creative people suer from more

mental diculties then ordinary people. Eysen-

ck (1995), Wills (2003) and Janka (2004), both

argued that madness and genius are common

traits of creative individuals.

Felix (1994), in his landmark study of 291 worldly

famous people highlighted who suered from

psycho-pathology. Among them, few important

names are given in each category.

Composers: Chopin, Mendelssohn, Schoen-

berg, Wolf, Beethoven and Wagner…….

Scientists: Darwin, Pasteur, Bell, Galton, Newton

and Mendel………

Philosophers: Emerson, Heidegger, Wittgen-

stein, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Marx, and Russell,

Politicians: Churchill, Gladstone, De Gaulle,

Mussolini, Nehru, Stalin, Disraeli, Hitler, Ataturk

and Lincoln…….

Artists: Picasso, Rossetti, Van Gogh, Charlie

Chaplin and Monore….

Writers: Dickens, Hardy, Huxley, Hemmingway,

Kipling, Sartre, Fitzgerald, Tolstoy, and Twain etc.

Furthermore, Ferry and Daniel (2014) have also

highlighted list of creative people, having some

form of psychological disturbances that is also

similar to the list of the Felix as mentioned

above. Accordingly, Whiteside (2013), suggests

that the brains of creative people appear to be

more open to incoming stimuli from the

surrounding environment, whereas other peo-

ple’s brains might shut out this same informa-

tion through a process called “latent inhibition”.

To sum up, Emil Kraeplien, the German psychia-

trist, also emphasized the positive outcome of certain psychological disorders. Finally, American

philosopher William James, wrote: “When a superior intellect and a psychopathic temperament

coalesce, we have the best possible outcome in the form of genius”.

In today's fast-paced world, where stress and

anxiety seem to be commonplace, the pursuit of

happiness has become a priority for many indi-

viduals. Positive psychology interventions oer

a beacon of hope, providing evidence-based

techniques for enhancing happiness and overall

well-being. One of the most eective PPIs is

gratitude journaling. This simple practice

involves regularly writing down things one is

grateful for. Research by Emmons and

McCullough (2003) found that individuals who

engaged in gratitude journaling experienced

signicant increases in happiness and life satis-

faction. By focusing on the positive aspects of

life, even during challenging times, individuals

can cultivate a mindset of appreciation and

abundance.

Another powerful intervention is acts of kind-

ness. By performing small acts of kindness for

others, individuals not only spread positivity but

also experience a boost in their own happiness

levels. Lyubomirsky, Sheldon, and Schkade

(2005) conducted a study demonstrating that

engaging in acts of kindness can lead to greater

well-being and a sense of fulllment. Whether

it's helping a neighbor with groceries or oering

words of encouragement to a friend, acts of

kindness create a ripple eect of positivity in

both the giver and the recipient.

These interventions are grounded in scientic

research and oer practical strategies for indi-

viduals to cultivate greater happiness in their

lives. Incorporating gratitude journaling and

acts of kindness into daily routines can lead to

profound shifts in overall well-being and life

satisfaction. As individuals focus on the positive

aspects of their lives and spread kindness to

others, they create a cycle of positivity that ben-

ets themselves and those around them.

Positive psychology interventions provide valu-

able tools for enhancing happiness and promot-

ing a fullling life. By embracing techniques

such as gratitude journaling and acts of kind-

ness, individuals can tap into their innate capaci-

ty for happiness and well-being. As the Dalai

Lama once said, "Happiness is not something

ready-made. It comes from your own actions."

Through intentional practices and small acts of

kindness, individuals can cultivate a deeper

sense of happiness and meaning in their lives,

contributing to a more positive and ourishing

world.

In "Making Hope Happen," Shane J. Lopez presents a compelling argument for the transformative

power of hope in shaping individual lives and societal well-being. Through a blend of researchz,

real-life anecdotes, and practical strategies, Lopez navigates the complexities of hope, demonstrating

its profound impact on personal resilience, motivation, and achievement.

The Importance of Hope in Positive

Psychology

Hope plays a pivotal role in positive psychology, a eld dedicated towards exploring positive emotions,

strengths, and the elements that contribute towards a meaningful and gratifying life. It is essentially a

positive motivational state rooted in the anticipation of favorable outcomes in the future.

“Hope is a good thing; maybe the best of things.”

In accordance with Snyder's Hope Theory (Snyder et al., 1991), hopefulness is a fundamental human

strength that encompasses three interrelated components:

1. Goal Thinking – the clear and precise conceptualization of valuable objectives.

2. Pathways Thinking – the ability to formulate specic strategies for achieving those goals.

3. Agency Thinking – the capacity to initiate and sustain motivation for employing those strategies.

Hope Therapy, an outgrowth of pure positive psychology, deviates from the conventional focus on

distressing factors. Instead, it integrates techniques such as positive self-talk, hopeful imagination, and

fostering connections with supportive networks (Shekarabi-Ahari, Younesi, Borjali, &

Ansari-Damavandi, 2012).

To enhance hope and well-being, individuals can employ various techniques. Positive self-talk involves

consciously replacing negative thoughts with positive armations, promoting a more optimistic

outlook. Visualization exercises, where individuals vividly imagine achieving their goals, can contribute

to a sense of hope and motivation. Additionally, building and maintaining supportive social networks

play a crucial role in fostering a hopeful mindset, as they provide encouragement, understanding, and

shared positive experiences.

Cultivating Growth: Exploring Mindset Dynamics in

Team Development

In a recent skill-building session led by Mr. Kafeel

Majal, the Team of Well-Being and Positive Psycholo-

gy delved into Carol S. Dweck's "Mindset," exploring

its core concepts of growth and xed mindsets.

Encouraged by Kafeel, team members engaged in

group discussions, reecting on the book's teach-

ings and sharing personal insights.

Through dialogue, they explored how individuals

perceive and discuss their own xed and growth

mindsets by drawing examples from their real lives

in order to illustrate these concepts. Candid anecdotes enriched the discussions, shedding light on the

impact of mindset on personal and professional development.

The session fostered a supportive environment for learning and growth within the team, emphasizing

the importance of adopting a growth mindset for resilience and adaptability. By collectively examining

mindset paradigms, team members cultivated a shared language for discussing personal develop-

ment and fostering a culture of continuous learning.

In conclusion, the session facilitated by Mr. Kafeel Majal not only deepened the team's understanding

of mindset theory but also ignited a transformative journey towards embracing growth while harness-

ing their full potential and adaptability.

Lopez begins by debunking common miscon-

ceptions about hope, asserting that it is not

simply wishful thinking but a dynamic cognitive

and emotional process rooted in agency and

pathways thinking. Drawing from diverse elds

such as psychology, education, and sociology,

he highlights the importance of hope as a

fundamental human need, especially in the face

of adversity.

One of the book's strengths lies in its accessibili-

ty; Lopez distills complex psychological

concepts into actionable steps, making them

applicable to various aspects of life, from

personal relationships to professional endeav-

ors. Through engaging storytelling and practical

exercises, he empowers readers to cultivate

hope in their own lives and communities.

Moreover, Lopez emphasizes the role of hope in

driving positive change on a broader scale,

advocating for its integration into education,

healthcare, and policymaking. By showcasing

inspiring examples of individuals who have

overcome adversity through hope, he under-

scores its potential as a catalyst for resilience

and social progress.

While "Making Hope Happen" oers valuable

insights and tools for fostering hope, some read-

ers may nd the book's emphasis on positivity

and personal agency overly simplistic. Addition-

ally, a deeper exploration of the intersectionality

of hope and social justice could enhance the

book's relevance in addressing systemic

inequalities.

Overall, "Making Hope Happen" is a timely and

inspiring read that reminds us of the transfor-

mative power of hope in navigating life's chal-

lenges and creating a brighter, more hopeful

future for ourselves and others.

Dear Counselor:

How do I?

Dear Counselor: How do I cultivate health-

ier relationships and set boundaries with-

out feeling guilty?

Dear Reader,

Navigating a delicate balance between cultivat-

ing healthier relationships and setting boundar-

ies without succumbing to guilt is indeed a jour-

ney which requires patience and self-awareness.

Begin by delving into introspection, understand-

ing your own needs, values, and limits. Commu-

nicate openly and assertively with those around

you, expressing your boundaries in a way that

acknowledges both, your own needs and the

feelings of others. It's crucial to recognize that

prioritizing your well-being is not selsh but

rather a fundamental aspect of maintaining

healthy relationships.

If feelings of guilt arise, explore their origins and

challenge any irrational beliefs that may fuel

them. Remember, seeking support from trusted

condants or a counselor can provide invaluable

guidance and perspective as you navigate this

process. Consistency is key—practice enforcing

your boundaries and evaluating your relation-

ships regularly, adjusting as needed to ensure

they align with your evolving needs and values.

Through this journey of self-discovery and

growth, may you nd the strength and con-

dence to foster relationships grounded in mutual

respect, understanding, and authenticity.

Unlocking Productivity: Understanding

the Psychology of Procrastination and

Strategies for Overcoming It

MAHWISH.IQBAL@bybrod.com

Procrastination is a universal experience that transcends age, profession, and cultural background. It is

a nuanced behavior rooted in the intricate workings of our psyche, which impacts our decision-making

ability and daily habits. This tendency can profoundly aect our productivity, resulting in missed

opportunities, diminished work quality, and strained relationships. The mounting pile of unnished

tasks often triggers feelings of overwhelm, perpetuating a cycle that becomes increasingly challenging

to break free from.

At its core, procrastination is driven by various psychological factors. Fear of failure looms large,

causing tasks to appear daunting and leading individuals to postpone starting them. Perfectionism

exacerbates this by creating unrealistic standards, and delaying action until conditions seem ideal. Task

aversion also plays a role, as negative emotions or boredom associated with certain tasks can lead to

avoidance behavior.

The consequences of procrastination extend beyond mere delays. Chronic procrastination breeds

stress, anxiety, and a pervasive sense of unproductivity. It erodes self-condence and satisfaction with

one's accomplishments, fostering a cycle of self-criticism and dissatisfaction. Moreover, procrastination

strains professional and personal relationships, as missed deadlines and unmet commitments can

erode trust and credibility.

Overcoming procrastination requires a multifaceted approach rooted in understanding its

psychological underpinnings. By addressing the root causes and implementing eective strategies,

individuals can reclaim their productivity and well-being. This process begins with challenging

negative thought patterns and replacing them with realistic and empowering beliefs. Setting clear

goals, breaking tasks into manageable steps, and prioritizing eectively can provide a roadmap for

progress. Managing distractions, creating conducive work environments, and utilizing time

management techniques can enhance focus and eciency.

Self-compassion is also crucial in this journey, as it fosters resilience and encourages learning from

setbacks rather than dwelling on failures. Seeking support from mentors, coaches, or mental health

professionals can provide guidance, accountability, and personalized strategies tailored to individual

needs.

Embracing change and adopting proactive habits may seem daunting, but each small step forward

contributes to a more fullling and purpose-driven approach for the fullment of tasks and goals. With

perseverance and self-awareness, overcoming procrastination is not just a possibility but a

transformative journey towards personal growth and success.
