Ways to Encourage Positive Emotions



Visualize yourself at a time when you were happy, relaxed, and full of energy-try to recall your emotions and reexperience how you felt.

Develop your sense of humour.

Practice looking on your bright side.

Work on closeness.If you are glad to see someone,or grateful for an act of kindness, say so enthusiastically.

Let those who are dear to you know how much you love them.

Learn yoga,qigong, or meditation to help still the mind and focus thoughts.

Altruism is healthy. Do somethng to help pther people, whether voluntary work or visiting a sick neighbour.

Link up your thoughts with feelings. Try writing an account of unpleasant or traumatic events, describing your emotions.
