Psychology in the Community - staying motivated beyond the workshop

About

Too often – when it is off our own accord – we come to watch motivating talks, or attend sessions because we 'want to feel better'.  And, indeed, we do pseudo sense of accomplishment because of the dopamine hit when a talk ends – and think “Yeah – I can do this”.  In fact, the more motivating, the greater the boost. 

BUT if a talk fires you up without any practical tools to actually DO what it suggests, what actually happens is either we soon lose that drive and revert back to where we were before OR we just consume more and more thinking THAT is making the difference.  

Our brains were made for efficiency and survival in an old, basic world, we need to TEACH it happiness, and well-being and effectiveness in a multi layered, tech driven 'new' world…and this talk will give you the mechanisms to make change – as well as the moxie.
