The effectiveness of positive psychology interventions was demonstrated in a study (Fordyce,1977, 1983) in which students derived more happiness by following the fourteen principles named below.
  1. Being more active and busy
  2. Spending more time socializing
  3. Being productive at work
  4. Being more organized and well-planned
  5. Reducing worries and negative contemplations
  6. Fewer expectations, and having more realistic ones
  7. Practicing positivity through optimistic thinking and reasoning
  8. Getting more focused and mindfully aware of the present
  9. Developing and maintaining a healthy personality
  10. Becoming more empathetic
  11. Being ourselves at all times
  12. Replacing negative thoughts with positive ones
  13. Valuing close relationships
  14. Thinking about enhancing our happiness

Discussion:

1. Which of these are you already applying in your life?

2. Is there anything you would add to this list? Why do you think it is important?

3. Are you planning to implement any new fundamentals in your life? If so, which ones?
