#008 - Building a Resilient Mindset: Navigating Expat Life with the 3P's Framework

Be Happy Abroad

In this episode, we explore the transformative concept of the 3P's of resilience, developed by Martin Seligman, the founder of Positive Psychology. Discover how your individual explanatory style - the way you internally narrate and interpret life's events - significantly influences your experience and resilience.

We'll explore the three critical dimensions of this style: Personalization (internal vs. external attribution), Permanence (viewing situations as changeable or unchangeable), and Pervasiveness (global vs. specific impact). By understanding these aspects, you can shift your perspective to manage stress better, tackle challenges with a supportive mindset, and enhance your overall resilience - especially vital in life's transitional phases like moving abroad.

Join us as we offer practical questions and reflections to help you identify and adapt your explanatory style, paving the way for personal growth and a more resilient approach to life's ups and downs. Whether facing job rejections or adjusting to new environments, this episode is a valuable tool for anyone looking to foster a healthier, more empowered mindset.
