MOST IMPORTANT MESSAGE!! : D

I think there were actually three things that I learned that I think are very important. First of all, I thought it was very important to know that we can, to some extent, make ourselves happier by doing things like writing letters to people we are upset at or by making a list of small things to do and cross them off. Knowing that I have some control over how I feel and how my days go makes me feel better like my level of self-efficacy is definately higher than I thought it was. The second thing we learned in this class that I found important and encouraging is that we can improve our creativity to a certain extent. I have always considered myself one of the least creative people to ever walk this planet but after a few activities and inspirations I feel like creativity is something I can practice instead of just being bummed that I wasn't born with it. The final thing I find important is our discussion about flow. I feel that knowing that if we challenge ourselves in activities we are skilled in we will experience flow which is self-motivating and self-rewarding at the same time. Knowing all of these things gives me a sence of control over my life and makes me feel very good about being able to overcome obstacles, accomplish goals and have a more positive attitude and outlook overall. :D
