Personal development and growth are important to me. Afterall,

“The greatest project you’ll ever work on is you.”

Positive psychology is the study of what makes life most worth living and the concepts can greatly support your own personal growth journey.

One such concept that positively affects personal growth is psychological capital.

What is Psychological Capital?

Psychological capital, or PsyCap, is a concept that refers to a person’s positive psychological state and is characterized by 4 components.

Each of these components contribute to your overall wellbeing and performance.

Hope

Hope is a positive motivational state and within PsyCap it refers to the belief in your ability to set and achieve goals, even in the face of adversity.

Self-Efficacy

Self-efficacy is your belief in yourself, your skills, and your ability to successfully complete tasks and achieve goals.

Resilience
