years in clinical practice
Dr. Paul JenkinsA note from Dr. Paul Jenkins

There’s a mistake people make about positivity.

They think they have to feel positive before they can act that way. So they wait.

Meanwhile the alarm goes off. The phone lights up. Somebody needs something. A problem lands in your lap. And before you’ve had one clear thought of your own, the day has started making your decisions for you.

I have spent the past three decades in clinical practice watching that happen. For about 13 of those years I also did child custody evaluations for the courts, which put me in a room with people during some of the hardest seasons of their lives. New faces every week, new circumstances every time. One pattern underneath all of it.

Most of us react first, and choose later if we choose at all.

That’s why I teach positivity as more than an attitude. I teach it as a skill.

Skills are built through practice. You don’t learn piano because somebody tells you to be musical. You learn when you sit down and play, and then you do it again, and again, and again. Positivity works the same way. Reps are relatively brief and regular, and they work.

That’s why my team and I built Positives.

Every morning I’ll walk you through a three-to-four-minute meditation practice, built around one idea and one of your seven key relationships. You spend more time brushing your teeth! Mental hygiene is every bit as important as dental hygiene (probably more important). Each week we take a practical principle further (kind of like your weekly piano lessons). Each month you get a full masterclass on one powerful tool, model, or principle of positive psychology.

Then we do it all again. This is a process, not an event.

The goal is to know more about positivity and the science behind it, with the ultimate objective of transformation through daily/weekly/monthly practice.

Live on Purpose,

Dr. Paul Jenkins

What actually changes it

Awareness Comes First. Then You Get A Choice.

You can’t always control what happens. You can get a lot more deliberate about what happens next.

Most of that starts with noticing how fast your mind evaluates everything. Good. Bad. Better than you expected. Worse than it should have been.

A lot of how we experience what happens is shaped by the meaning we give it. We compare what is happening with what we expected, wanted, or think should be happening. And that comparison affects how we feel and respond.

The problem is that almost all of this runs automatically. Until you notice you’re doing it, you’re just doing it, and you don’t experience it as a choice.

So awareness comes first. The daily gives you a few quiet minutes to practice that awareness before the demands of the day take over.

I could tell you to talk yourself into believing everything is wonderful, or to look past a hard circumstance. I have never asked anyone to do that and I’m not starting now.

The practice is simpler than that. Notice what you’re doing. Pause. Quiet the noise, especially the negative noise, for just a moment. Then choose your response on purpose.

Where the practice points

Seven Relationships, One Morning At A Time

The context of your daily Positives is organized around saving and enriching seven key relationships. Each daily audio takes aim at one of them.

Your relationship with your creator, whatever that is for you. Your source. Your relationship with yourself. Your relationship with your spouse or partner. Your relationship with your children. Your relationship with your extended family. Your relationship with other people, everyone outside your family including clients, customers, community. And your relationship with things, including property and money.

The order matters. Right after your creator comes yourself, because the way you treat yourself shows up in every one of the others. And most people are kind and patient and forgiving with everybody in their life, except one person. With that one they’re harsh and demanding and never satisfied. So the practice works outward from there.

You won’t try to fix seven areas of your life at once. That would defeat the point. One morning gives you something to practice with yourself. Another gets you thinking about your marriage. Another puts a phone call in front of you that you’ve been meaning to make for a month.

Keri had that week:

You mentioned reaching out to one of our extended family, so my sister and I have been playing phone tag. And last night I reached out to her, and she’d been just needing a sister visit. Your reminder came at a really good time.
KBKeri Bucholzmember

One prompt, one phone call, one relationship tended to before another week goes by. That’s what this looks like in real life.

Your first week

What Your First Week Looks Like

There’s no onboarding to get through. You join, open the app, and begin.

01Day one

Your membership opens right away, with today’s daily plus the full library of past Dailies, weekly principles, monthly masterclasses, Live On Purpose TV and Live On Purpose Radio. Nothing is drip-fed. You press play and you’re three to four minutes in.

02Day two

Another short daily, a different idea, a different relationship to pay attention to. The length is deliberate. This has to survive a busy morning or it isn’t much of a practice.

03Day three

The thing we’re practicing is noticing. A reaction. A judgment. A moment where you could go one way and choose to go another. Noticing it is the skill, and the daily is what puts it in front of you.

04Day four

Spend some time with the weekly principle. It takes one idea further and gives you prompts for putting it against something you’re actually dealing with, not a hypothetical.

05Day five

The monthly masterclass. Each month I teach one theme in depth.

06Day six

Your streak says six. Three to four minutes counts, because the goal is consistency and not perfection.

07Day seven

A full week of showing up, without a dramatic overhaul. A few minutes a day.

Rose described what happened when the daily became part of her morning:

Listening to the Daily Positive first thing each morning has become one of the simplest yet most powerful habits I’ve built. It only takes a few minutes, but it changes the trajectory of my entire day.
RRose
member

Michelle described the streak:

Being able to have just 3 minutes count to a streak, and knowing this is habit building (not do it or don’t) feels really good.
MMichelle
member

Consistency beats intensity. Picture a seed getting watered. Dump a bucket on it once and nothing happens. A little water every day is what makes it open.

Who’s teaching this

Built From More Than 30 Years Of Clinical Practice

This was an incredible session on choosing our attitudes in difficult times.
SCScott CarleyChange Energizer, on one of Dr. Paul’s speaking sessions

I’m Dr. Paul Jenkins. I’m a Positivity Psychologist, and I have spent more than 30 years in clinical practice. These principles are too powerful to teach slowly in one-on-one sessions. In recent years I have turned most of my attention to teaching these principles publicly, on Live On Purpose Radio (podcast) and Live On Purpose TV (YouTube).

You don’t have to take my word for any of this, and I’d rather you didn’t. 450,000 people subscribe to Live On Purpose TV on YouTube, and they’ve watched it 32.5 million times over 13 years. That’s the same voice and approach behind every day of Positives: a teaching style hundreds of thousands of people already trust, now built into a structured daily practice you can actually keep.

One distinction I want to be clear about. "Positives" is education, not therapy. My clinical background informs what I teach, but joining doesn’t make me your therapist and the app isn’t a substitute for mental health treatment.

What’s included

Everything You Need To Build The Practice

One membership, $27 a month. Everything below opens the day you join.

01

The Positives Daily

A fresh guided meditation from me every morning, only three to four minutes long. Each one takes aim at one of your seven key relationships and connects to the theme we’re working on that week. Short enough to use, specific enough to matter.

02

The weekly principle

Each week we take one practical idea from the monthly theme further. You get prompts for applying it more directly in your own life, and the daily challenges make more sense in that context.

03

The monthly Positives Life Mastery Series

Each month I teach one theme in depth. Then the weekly principles and the dailys keep coming back to that same idea for the rest of the month. So you get a month of chances to practice one idea, instead of hearing it once and moving on.

Rebecca on the weekly and monthly:

Everybody’s talking about the daily positives, but I have to put in my two cents on the weekly and monthly. They have been unmatched. I feel like Dr. Paul is actually opening up his brain and just pouring it out.
RCRebecca Cartermember
04

Both Power-up courses

The Positivity Power-up and The Parenting Power-up, in full, included with your membership. The Positivity Power-up is the whole framework in one place, for the mornings when you want more than a few minutes. The Parenting Power-up covers what to do with a kid who’s shut down, and how to stop the same argument from running every night.

05

Streaks and your phone

Three to four minutes counts toward your streak. The streak is there to encourage the habit. That’s the only job it has. And all of it works on your phone, which is where your mornings happen.

Ask Dr. Paul

Ask Dr. Paul comes with Plus too.

A question comes up at 11 at night and there’s nobody around to ask. Your teenager has stopped talking to you. You can’t shake a mood. Something happened at work and you know you’re reacting to it, but you aren’t sure what to do instead.

Ask Dr. Paul lets you search my recorded teaching by asking your question the way you would actually ask it.

It uses AI to search and curate my whole body of work to address your question the way I would. You aren’t chatting live with me, and it isn’t therapy. It searches what I have already taught, builds an answer out of that material, and shows you the sources it used so you can go listen to the original for yourself.

Devan put it better than I would have:

The ‘Ask Dr. Paul’ feature is one of the most valuable details. It is like having your own Dr. Paul in your pocket.
DBDevan B.member

That was the idea. My teaching, easier to reach at the moment you need it.

Jillian, on what daily practice does at home:

Intentionally listening to positive things daily helps me be more gentle and kind with myself, which in turn helps me better hold space for others, especially my daughter.

What members say

In Their Words

Robin, on how the morning starts now:

Better focus and clarity to start the day for sure. A guidance to remind me to live for today and show up with intention. Small steps with intention even imperfectly matter.
RRobin
member

Lindsay, on the rhythm of the daily and the weekly:

It feels like I’m getting those daily waterings instead of those fire hose moments. The dailies are feeling like that sprinkling, and then at other times, oh, I’m a little more thirsty. I need that weekly now.

Questions people actually ask

Questions People Ask Before Joining

That doesn’t surprise me. Being told to think positive hands you an outcome without handing you a method. Positives puts the emphasis on practice instead: short, daily, guided. You don’t have to manufacture a better mood before you start. You press play and practice the skill.

Who this isn’t for

Three Things You Should Know Before You Join

01

This is a practice, not a transformation weekend. Most days the daily feels like a useful few minutes and nothing more. The value is in the repetition and the rhythm. That’s what actually makes it stick, the same way learning a language or a musical instrument sticks: not from one big session, but from showing up for the small one, over and over. If you want an intensive experience built around a single weekend, one of my live events is a better fit. Positives is built for a Tuesday morning.

02

You still have to press play. I can make the practice short. I can guide it. I can put it on your phone and have the next one waiting every morning. I can’t do your three to four minutes for you. The people who use this most consistently attach it to something they already do: breakfast, getting dressed, the commute, walking the dog.

03

There’s no free trial. You pay when you join, then you have 30 days to decide. If you don’t want to continue, ask for your money back. If you would rather start without paying anything, use the free Positivity Power Pack first.

Not ready to join yet, and that’s completely fine. The Positivity Power Pack gives you seven days to experience the rhythm of the practice before you join. It’s free. Use it for a week, see what you notice, then choose.

The close

Tomorrow Morning Is Coming Either Way

The alarm will go off tomorrow. The day will start. Something will want your attention.

What’s still open is the three to four minutes before all of that takes over.

Positivity is something you practice, and you can do it on the mornings you don’t feel it. Three to four minutes, one idea, one relationship, one chance to notice how you’re thinking before the day starts thinking for you.

Here’s what happens when you join.

You pick a plan and pay. You’re in the app the same minute, with today’s daily already waiting for you. You press play. Three to four minutes. Tomorrow morning there’s a new one, and the morning after that.

I know the worry, because people tell me. You’ve started things before and they stopped. That is exactly what a three-to-four-minute practice is built for. I can’t make you press play, but I’ve taken out every reason not to that I know how to take out.

Then, 30 days from now, you decide.

If Positives has earned a place in your morning, keep it and it keeps going. If it hasn’t, email us and we refund you in full, and you can cancel from your own account whenever you want, without talking to anybody. What it costs you to find out is 30 days and three to four minutes a morning, and you can have every dollar of it back at the end of that.

Either way, you’ll be deciding from having done it instead of from having read about it. That’s the only honest way to know.

You don’t have to feel positive tomorrow morning. Press play anyway.

PS

Ron runs a power company, and he started calling the daily Positives his power reset. I like that, and not because a practice needs a clever word. Because a good one eventually stops feeling like somebody else’s program and becomes part of your morning. Start with three to four minutes tomorrow and find out what it turns into for you.
