Tips for increasing pleasant emotional experiences and happiness and well-being in our life:-
LOVE
- Surround yourself with happy people. Their positive affect and emotions will buoy you in your times of distress.
- Tell those close to you that you love them. Your sincere expression of love will bolster your relationship and induce positive affect in others.
WORK
- Start a meeting with positive comments about peers' contributions. This may raise positive affect that generates creativity and good decision making.
- Bring homemade treats to work or class. This may generate productive interactions.
PLAY
- Engage in your favorite play activities from yesteryear - those activities that brought you joy as a child may do so today.
- Participate in brief relaxation activities to break up your day. Relaxation can make your mind and body more sensitive to help pleasurable daily moments.
