Greetings and Happy Tuesday, !

Looking to connect with like-minded people to discuss key ideas, concepts, and strategies related to self-care, personal development, goal setting, and healthy relationships?  Resilience Rounds is an online discussion forum where everyone can share their experiences and insights. Similar to a book club, participants prepare for the session by reading an article, listening to a podcast, or watching a video/documentary. All sessions are live and the discussion is facilitated by Seena and Stuart Haines.

Next Tuesday - September 14th - we'll be offering our inaugural Resilience Rounds. We'll be discussing the acronym WOOP (Wish, Outcome, Obstacles, Plan) coined by Gabriele Oettingen. Her book Rethinking Positive Thinking: Inside the New Science of Motivation provides an in-depth exploration of this evidence-based strategy.

Resilience Rounds is free to Wellbeing Elixir community members.

To prepare for this session, please listen to the Hidden Brain podcast episode: You 2.0 - WOOP, WOOP! which we've posted on the September 14th Resilience Rounds webpage (click the link and sign-up to get access). Of course, you are welcome to purchase and read the book too — but it's not a requirement.

What is WOOP?

WOOP is a psychological technique to envision and achieve goals using mental contrasting. Positive thinking encourages us to dream about our future ... but without mental contrasting, we often fail to achieve our goals. The key to success is to imagine the obstacles inside ourselves that can prevent us from achieving our goals and developing a concrete plan. In research studies, WOOP has helped people reduce stress, increase work engagement, lose weight, and sustain healthier relationships.
