To conclude the posts dedicated to my last formal assignment, I wanted to include my findings section. In this section I explain how the “three good things” project improved my well-being and how it had a positive effect on my mental state.
Findings In this section I will prove “three good things” improved my well-being by disusing these three points. According to the PERMA model, our happiness is determined through five categories. Positive emotion, engagement, relationships, meaning, and accomplishments. My first point would be my accomplishments and how they made me feel. Another point would be the social relationships that I have built. Lastly, by showing positive emotion and how it has brought forth my inner optimism. I chose to talk about accomplishments because to me, there is no better feeling then handing in a test or an assignment that you worked so hard on. During the week I worked on the “three good things” I had multiple assignments due and I appreciated that feeling when I finished a task. My one entry was “Was productive: I finished a paper that is due Friday and I love the feeling of being productive and the feeling of accomplishment.” This was within the first two days of starting this project and already I knew what was important to me. Next, my relationships such as my family, played a big part in my well-being. They are my motivation and support through everything and this study showed me to never take them for granite. Finally, positive emotion showed throughout most of my journal entries. I looked at things with an optimistic view and suddenly things did not seem that bad. An entry that connects with this would be “Had work: I don't love work, but I try and make the best of it.” After really learning about these five elements, I go through my days now connecting each part of it to a different element. I wish to focus more on the meaning aspect because everyone needs some meaning in their lives.
