Positive Emotions

Positive emotions are uplifting, energizing states that enhance well-being and connection. They often involve warmth, lightness, or strength in the body—like a racing pulse or relaxed breathing—and a mind that feels vibrant, assured, or peaceful. Triggered by success, love, or inspiration, they include joy, happiness, and serenity. Examples: laughing with friends, savoring a sunny day, breathing by the ocean.
