How to activate the elements of PERMA
Some tools Martin Seligman suggests are:
- Sending a letter of gratitude to someone.
- Intentionally use one of your strengths daily in an unusual way. For example, if your strength is hope and optimism, you could volunteer to teach or mentor.
- Physical exercise, such as a walk or run.
- Self-improvement through reading or taking a course.
- Creativity - composing, art, dance crafts.
- Focusing on friendships that energise you.
- Reframing - choosing not to see things as 'good' or 'bad' but 'effective' or ineffective.'
- Healthy substitutions you love within in easy reach.
- Keeping positive pictures easily accessible.
- Self-compassion - doing things that makes you feel warm and fuzzy, such as a bubble bath or a cup of tea.
