What Would You Do with 12 Months to Live? Getting Started In this workshop assignment, you will review a portion of the documentary  Dr. Dave and the Girl Who Couldn’t Laugh: A Breadcrumb Quest for Joy. You will also reflect on concepts from the documentary as you begin the implementation of your Capstone Project. Upon successful completion of this discussion, you will be able to: · Integrate biblical principles with positive psychology concepts. · Finalize your Capstone Project idea for implementation. Background Information "Teach us to realize the brevity of life, so that we may grow in wisdom" ( New Living Translation, 1996/2015,  Psalm 90:12 (new tab) ) What would you do if you had 12 Months to Live? This is what I asked myself as a way to frame a year-long project to figure out my life and calling. With verses like Psalm 90:12, I reflected on what was most important in life and what I would do if my days were numbered.  Dr. Dave and the Girl Who Couldn’t Laugh is a documentary based on this 12-month life project that I completed during a period of vocational, spiritual, and personal challenge and transition. It is also an example of what a personal capstone project might look like. I have found that throughout my life, about every 5 to 7 years, I have felt a need for creating a year-long experience and experiment, similar to what you have done for your Capstone Project, to help me learn, resolve, or just figure out an aspect of my life.   Dr. Dave and The Girl Who Couldn’t Laugh is just one example of a positive psychology intervention that you can model your own project after if you find yourself in a curious place in life as I did. Instructions 1. Take brief notes as you watch this YouTube 5:16-minute clip from  Dr. Dave and the Girl Who Couldn’t Laugh: A Breadcrumb Quest for Joy: 2. Reflect on Psalm 90:12 and the above clip. Take a moment to pray.  Then write down three ideas about what you would do with 12 months to live, referencing what you learned from the documentary.  3. Formulate your reflections, prayers, and thoughts into a discussion post that includes the following in one page (250 words):d a. A paragraph summary of your notes on key points from the documentary. b. Reflection on Psalm 90:12 and the documentary as you formulate a response to this question: As you consider the brevity of life, looking back and into your future, how do you want your life, reactions to others, and service to be different or stay the same? c. List at least three items representing what you would do with 12 months to live. 4. Your initial post is due by the end of the fourth day of the workshop. 5. Read and respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts, as well as all instructor follow-up questions directed to you, by the end of the workshop. 6. Your postings should also: a. Be well developed by providing clear answers with evidence of critical thinking. b. Add greater depth to the discussion by introducing new ideas. 1.3Assignment.PersonalReflectionJournal.docx 1.3 Assignment. Personal Reflection Journal Getting Started Throughout the MA in Psychology program, you have created and sustained three journal themes: Personal Reflection Journal; TED-style Talk Journal; and The Capstone Project Journal. In this workshop, you will review and summarize your Personal Reflection Journal assignments from the previous nine courses and then summarize the key elements as you prepare to write about what you think the Good Life means to you, which will be due in a later workshop.  Upon successful completion of this assignment, you will be able to: · Review and summarize key findings from your Personal Reflection Journals. · Synthesize core aspects of what the Good Life means to you. Background Information Your Personal Reflection Journals began in PSY-520 with an entry you titled -  6.5 Personality and Lifespan Development and then in PSY-525 with  1.4 Exploring Cultural Insights. In each successive course, PSY-530, (not 535), 540, and 545, you added to this personal reflection journal. In this assignment, you will review each of these entries, assure that you have all of them in one Word document, and then summarize your learnings as preparation for a synthesis paper on what The Good Life means to you in an upcoming workshop. Instructions 1. Open your  Personal Reflection Journal that you created in PSY-520 and that you have added to in five of the six core courses throughout the program. Review formatting for consistency, make sure that you have at least five entries from the foundational courses and then reflect on what you wrote. 2. After reviewing and correcting any formatting issues, post your  Personal Reflection Journal. 3. Watch the TED talk,  What Makes a Good Life? (new tab) 4. Read the article,  Good Genes (new tab) . 5. In a two-page paper (which will eventually become a six to eight-page paper in Workshop 2), begin to write your final paper using this  Good Life Synthesis Paper Outline (Word document) .  For this assignment, you only need to complete the  third section of the attached outline:  Reflect on and summarize major learnings from your “Personal Reflection Journal” (1-2 pages). 6. Summarize key lessons learned throughout the program as you reflect on your journal entries from the core and specialization courses. Look for themes related to what the Good Life means to you as this is the beginning of your synthesis paper on The Good Life that you will add to over the next few workshops. 7. Include a title page, a brief introduction, and the beginning of a reference page. Cite the sources provided above and others that you may refer to as you lay a foundation in this assignment for the synthesis paper. 8. You should have two separate documents posted in this Assignment by the end of the workshop: your  Personal Reflection Journal from the previous courses and section three of your  Synthesis Paper.
