Various studies have indicated that positive emotions can make us joyful and build our skills for being happier and healthier. Thus, when we focus our attention on them, they can be expanded and reinforced.
One positive emotion was focused on each of the seven days. The positive emotions focused on were – Joy, Gratitude, Serenity, Hope, Inspiration, Love and Contentment (Satisfaction).
On each day, awareness related to a positive emotion was shared in each class. Posters and materials were circulated and displayed.
