Listening to music was able to help escape the stress of the day and enhance my mood. After a long day at work, music was able to “soothe the beast” as they say and alleviate some of the stress I had felt earlier. As the music calmed me, more positive thoughts began to come to me and I felt much happier. Some songs even began to make creative ideas come to me as I calmed down too, making for a much better evening than dwelling on any negative feelings.

Normally I do not enjoy laundry day but I decided to give it a try while engaging in a new activity, listening to music. When listening to music, it helped my attitude towards the entire task at hand. Being able to enjoy what I was hearing instead of listening to the steady boring hum of washers and dryers really helped to make it a better trip to the Laundromat. Music took away the boredom and made the experience much better. Washing Machines, Laundromat, Washers, Laundry, Boredom, Enjoyment, Hearing

Spending time with my wife can really boost my mood/morale. She always knows what to say and can make me smile or laugh with little effort. Another great part of spending time with my wife is getting to interact with our unborn baby. We get to feel her moving and kicking around which adds a great feeling of excitement as we both look forward to her arrival. Being surrounded by love is a great way to improve my mood and I know having it around me will help me to experience lasting happiness. Challenges, Unborn, Wife, My Wife Is, Spending, Forward, Laugh

I enjoyed spending some quality time with my daughter this weekend. Now that I am a father, I experience a sense of Meaning as I work harder for something larger than myself – my daughter’s future. I love to teach her things and no matter how small that task, her success always feels like a tremendous accomplishment. Together, we see the world for its possibilities and as long as I focus on the new meaning she has given to my life, I will surely experience lasting well-being.

3. Character Strengths Survey Result – Fairness. I treat others fairly and try not to let personal feelings affect my decisions or opinion of others. For example, this photo shows that I have taken to the task of petting both dog and cat (even though cat demands more attention) and I am fair in the attention I give to both. When our pets are content, I experience calming positive emotions in this natural method of stress relief. There’s always an opportunity for fairly-divided loving attention.

2. Character Strengths Survey Result – Prudence. I make careful choices and do not say or do things that I may later regret. When in the company of my toddler, it is very important that I watch my words and actions to set a great example for my little girl. I feel the positive emotion of accomplishment when my daughter politely replies with “please” and “thank you” and gives me hugs. As long as my achievements continue in raising my daughter, I will surely experience lasting happiness. Raising, Caring, Achievement, Example

1. Character Strengths Survey Result – Leadership. Being able to motivate a group/team to get things done and to make everyone feel included. In paintball, I was made team leader and tasked with choosing players for their strengths and strategizing the use of those strengths in the game. Regarding the PERMA model, I built and strengthened many positive relationships with my coworkers through this act of play while also applying my leadership skills to achieve professional success.
