5 Tips to Experience More Positive Emotions in Your Life
The pursuit of hearing a great speech that inspires you, or doing an activity you hold close to your heart can increase your positive emotions. The same feelings can be felt when you witness your partner, friends, or family members being exposed to such emotions. What you need to remember is that emotions are contagious and having happy neighbors, siblings, and friends close to you can increase your odds of feeling the same way. This explains why you can walk in a room where everybody is laughing and find yourself smiling as well. Emotions and human bodies are interrelated and connected, and positive emotions can enhance your health, resilience, and performance.
Moods, whether good or bad, are part of human life. Every day, we are confronted with different situations where we need to manage our emotions. For instance, we might encounter unexpected setbacks when we least expect and feel upset or disappointed. That’s normal. Nevertheless, when you feel happy, proud, grateful, or excited, you open up to new ideas, events, and people. Positive emotions have the power to shape your perspective and a sense of purpose. If positive emotions outweigh negative emotions, you are not only protected from mental health problems but also more open to possibilities that life has to offer. Luckily, you can experience more positive emotions in your life by creating a positive emotion portfolio.

How to Experience More Positive Emotions
When you
think about positive emotions, it’s reasonable to think about pure happiness.
However, the range of positive emotions is broader and encompasses the feeling
of gratitude, love, pride, serenity, awe, inspiration, optimism, hope, humor,
and peace. When the stresses of life overtake your attention and time, try
overturning them by creating a positive emotion portfolio which you can achieve
by doing the following;
* First things first, choose an emotion
you’d want to feel more in your life, be it love, pride, awe, joy, inspiration,
confidence, hope or love* Create a collection of your favorite
songs, letters, videos, poems, and pictures that can boost your emotions and
store them in a folder on your phone or laptop where you can access them when
need be* Review your positive emotion portfolio
for about 8-15 minutes daily for one week* At the end of the week, take some time
and reflect on what has worked in your life and what hasn’t. Avoid any
circumstances that could trigger your negativity and add some positive items to
your portfolio* Use your portfolio as often as
possible and reflect on it every time you need to build inner resilience and
strength that will, in turn, pave the way for a long-lasting happiness
