"Thank you for visiting! As you likely know, my name is Kabir Kadre, and I am partnering here with Help Hope Live, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, in part because they provide both tax deductibility and fiscal accountability to those who wish to support the medical costs of my life with Spinal Cord Injury and the resulting quadriplegia and paralysis. Thanks to their efforts, and with your generous support, I am able to offset my substantial medical costs and focus on giving what I can to the world through the gift of my life."

Kabir speaks from the heart. Big Love.

Recommended by Kabir I've been enjoying this book on the subject of Positivity in the research that has been done on the construct. As it turns out there is a mathematical tipping point for when positivity in our lives moves from an inert force to one that can dramatically impact and improve the qualities of our experience. Roughly speaking this is 3 positive thoughts/emotional experiences to 1 negative thought or emotional experience. When we reach this ratio (which is above average) on a consistent basis, it has meaningful impact on our health and well-being. So I wanted to invite you to this exercise with me: Throughout your day, each time you notice a negative thought or emotion, first feel, recognize, and accept the experience, and then Complement it by recalling 3 distinct things that you are grateful for, love, or enjoy - in essence bring about 3 positive thoughts/emotional experiences. Let's see what this does for our health and well-being! :-)

"LIBERATING THE COLLECTIVE POTENTIAL Geoff Fitch, Tamara Androsoff, and guests - August, 2019" How learning to open to emergence is an act not of will, but of willingness, and how relearning how to play is an essential to allowing something new to emerge among us. Abigail Lynam commenting on the relevance of this work to these times, given the recent mass shootings in the US: "what if the very thing that I yearn for the most is exactly what we all need to get through these times?"

Recommended by Kabir: "In both Love 2.0 and her earlier book, Positivity, Dr. Barbara Fredrickson describes ground breaking research on our supreme emotion, love, as well as the hidden value of all positive emotions. She encourages readers to experiment with their own lives, finding ways to create more micro-moments of love and positivity that work for them. One way to begin is to keep track of your emotions on a regular basis. Dr. Fredrickson developed the Positivity Self Test featured in her research, her books, and on this website to help you assess your current positivity ratio and track changes in your ratio over time. Just like tracking calories or cash flows can heighten your awareness and in time help you meet your fitness or financial goals, tracking your positivity ratio can help you raise your ratio and build your best future. Results may vary. Best outcomes emerge from sincere and heartfelt efforts to raise your ratio coupled with honest reports of your emotion experiences. Read more about the Positivity Self Test or take the survey here."

"Kabir Recommends: The Positivity Self Test is a brief, 20-item survey that asks you to report on your experiences of several emotions over the past 24 hours. Each item on the test includes a trio of words that are related, but not quite the same, for example, "hopeful, optimistic, or encouraged" and "sad, downhearted, or unhappy." With this strategy, each item captures a set of emotions that share a key resemblance and this short test becomes that much more accurate. Keep in mind that the Positivity Self Test merely provides a snapshot of your emotions. Everybody's emotions change by the day, hour, and minute. Some scientists would say that they change by the millisecond. Given your ever-shifting emotional landscape, any single measure of your positivity ratio can only capture so much. One way to overcome such measurement hurdles is to measure repeatedly. Even if you complete the Positivity Self Test as honestly as possible, you should view your score for any given day with some skepticism. Was this particular day representative? Probably not. Days vary. So the more days you can average together to create your estimate, the more trustworthy that estimate becomes. You can get a clear picture of your typical positivity ratio by completing the Positivity Self Test every evening for two weeks. Take the Positivity Self Test In the scientific literature, the Positivity Self Test is also know as the modified Differential Emotions Scale, or mDES, created by Dr. Fredrickson based on an earlier scale developed by pioneering emotion scientist, Carroll Izard.

Recommended by Kabir Kadre: "Abstract Importance  Home health care workers care for community-dwelling adults and play an important role in supporting patients with confirmed and suspected coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) who remain at home. These workers are mostly middle-aged women and racial/ethnic minorities who typically earn low wages. Despite being integral to patient care, these workers are often neglected by the medical community and society at large; thus, developing a health care system capable of addressing the COVID-19 crisis and future pandemics requires a better understanding of the experiences of home health care workers."

During a recent visit with Kabir, he suggested I visit this site. He knows the authors and feels they are reliable investigators. I've spent a bit of time browsing. Interesting.

"Yes!  A powerful word.  It invites, it engages, it moves.  And, with relatively the same amount of effort, there are 3 completely different outcomes available to us, based on the agreements we choose.  We can add another Yes!, we can multiple by Yeses!, or we can scale to Yeses!  The co-investment and risk are about the same, and the reward or return can be much greater."
