- If you refer to scientific research or other published works, please use APA style. If you wish to refer to experiences with other people, please ensure you have their written permission first and do so with respect.
- If you are writing from a practitioner perspective, please make sure you uphold professional integrity. This includes disclosing any personal opinions, referring openly and respectfully to other people’s work, and noting any professional insights or experiences beyond Positive Psychology.
- The promotion of services is not allowed within the blog text, however you may include your bio and business links at the end of your post (please see below questions).

- Entries must be original; in other words, you may not submit a blog entry that has been posted on another site.
Please note that any opinions or views expressed in guest or member blog entries belong to the author of that post and not PPG. PPG values diversity and inclusion of thought, and strives to ensure that anything expressed is done so in a respectful manner.
