Positive Psychology Course with Erik Fernholm from Lyckoaktivist.se
This weekend I had the great pleasure of taking the two day “Nytt År” (New Year) course given by Erik Fernholm from Lyckoaktivist.se. The course was a big inspiration and eye-opener for me and if you have the opportunity to hear Erik speak then take it! Erik is competent, passionate, genuine, humble, and idealistic. In addition he is a great presenter and instructor. I really appreciated Erik’s emphasis on action (we know so much but do so little), the importance of positive emotions and how those emotions are rooted in our body, on the balance between experience and achievement - to be rooted in the here-and-now but still have a sense of direction, on contributing in a meaningful way to something larger than ourselves and helping create a happier society. Erik left me with a feeling of infinite opportunities. He also triggered an interest in meditation and last night I found myself listening to Adyashanti on Spotify and I was really touched. I have 10 pages full of notes from the course but I don’t think that re-typing them here would do the course justice. Instead I will write separate blog posts on some of the topics that we touched on. I really liked the small format of the course. We were only seven people, all of which were very interesting individuals. Erik helped facilitate our interaction and created a friendly and energetic atmosphere.
