Ever wonder what really makes us happy?

Let's explore the PERMA model by Dr. Martin Seligman, the brain behind positive psychology. 🧠

Ready? Let’s go! 💪

1. (P) - POSITIVE EMOTIONS 🤗

Positive emotions are like sunshine for the soul.
They include positive emotions that uplift our moods and make our days happier, such as joy, thankfulness, love, and contentment.
Happiness spreads throughout our lives, whether it is from the warmth of a grin, the rush of achievement, or the tranquility of a peaceful moment.
Savoring happy moments, keeping a good mindset, and being aware of life's small pleasures are all part of cultivating positive emotions.
Adopting a positive outlook not only improves our own happiness but also makes others around us happy. 😊

2. (E) - ENGAGEMENT 🤝

The skill of engagement is totally focusing on the here and now.
When we're in that flow, time seems to stop, and we're totally engrossed in what we're doing.
Whether it's engaging in a meaningful conversation, taking on difficult work, or pursuing a passion, engagement gives our lives meaning and fulfillment.
Prioritizing activities that pique our attention, play to our talents, and are consistent with our values is essential to fostering engagement.
We can unleash our potential for creativity, productivity, and personal development when we embrace the power of interaction. 💕

3. (R) - RELATIONSHIPS ❤️

Our lives are woven together by our relationships, which provide us with moments of support, belonging, and connection.
These links, which can be found in communities, workplaces, or families, enhance our experiences and help to define who we are.
The cornerstones of meaningful relationships are empathy, trust, and respect for one another.
These qualities provide emotional stability and security.
Active communication, empathy, and a willingness to put in the time and effort to build connections are all necessary for fostering healthy relationships.
Our nurturing environment is characterized by love, laughter, and shared experiences, all of which blossom when we prioritize genuine connections and cultivate a network of support. 💞

4. (M) - MEANING 🌸

In life, meaning serves as a compass to help us manage obstacles, disappointments, and uncertainty with resiliency and purpose.
It's about understanding our values, giving our experiences meaning, and directing our activities toward our highest goals.
Pursuing a higher purpose, meaningful goals, personal development, and connections to something bigger than ourselves are all avenues for finding meaning in life.
By embracing significance, we can access a reservoir of inner fortitude and resiliency that enables us to conquer challenges and tenaciously pursue our goals. ✨

5. (A) - ACHIEVEMENTS 🏅

Milestones that indicate our development and acknowledge our successes along the way are called achievements.
They can take many different forms, like realizing a lifelong dream or being acknowledged for our achievements.
Every accomplishment boosts our self-esteem and confidence since it is evidence of our abilities, tenacity, and commitment.
Achieving goals and accomplishing long-awaited milestones, whether it's learning a new talent or conquering a difficult obstacle, motivates us to keep going and pursue perfection.
By praising our accomplishments, we foster a sense of pleasure, pride, and satisfaction that inspires us to keep developing and changing as we go toward success. 🚀
