豐盛感的首要元素是正向情緒。正向情緒包括愉悅、狂喜、舒適、溫暖、驕傲、滿足和愛等(Seligman, 2012) 。Fredrickson (2001) 的研究指出正向情緒,如喜悅、感興趣、知足、自豪和愛,能擴展我們的瞬時思想行動庫(特定的情緒會引發人的衝動去做特定的行爲),並增加我們生理、智力、社交和心理方面的個人資源。例如當你對某事物感興趣, 你會願意去探索,尋找新的資訊和經驗,增值自己;當你進行某活動時感到喜悅,你會想繼續進行該活動,甚至挑戰自己的極限;當你對現狀感到滿足,你會欣賞自己現在的生活,學會感恩;當你對自己的表現感到自豪時,你會希望與人分享自己的成功,繼而有動力去爭取更大的成就。
根據Fredrickson (2009) 的「擴大建立理論」(The Broaden-and-Build Theory),正向情緒能夠擴大我們思考行動的技能和認知資源,使我們更能以靈活和創意的思維分析事物,思考出更多解決難題的方法,從而抵抗負面情緒對我們的影響,最終達到「豐盛」(flourishing) 的境界。另外,正向情緒 (“P”) 也經常會和另外的四個元素 (全心投入“E”, 正向人際“R”,生命意義“M”,成就感“A”) 相輔相成。
經常擁有正向情緒的小學生會更樂意去維持自己在課堂上的好表現,廣交朋友,並且樂於助人。
經常擁有正向情緒的中學生會有更強的抗壓能力。即使他們面對著校内繁重的課業和準備公開試的壓力,但由於他們思想正面,他們依然能夠調整自己的心態,不輕易放棄言敗和質疑自己。
每日善行可以是很簡單的事,例如稱讚別人,跟未能合群的人玩耍,逗別人笑,聆聽別人的傾訴等。所謂「施比受更有福」,幫助了別人會提升自己的正向情緒 (Nathan, 2018a)。
寫感恩卡向老師、朋友、父母等表達謝意。在寫的時候,會回想起不同人在過去怎樣幫助或鼓勵自己,感受到別人的關懷 (Nathan, 2018a)。
嘗試做呼吸練習,慢慢感受自己的身體和情緒,由別人(朋友)的角度去關心自己 (Madhuleena, 2020)。
