Ok so for this blog I’m going to be talking about my research and what I did wrong. In my Literary Review section of my project I had written about definitions that were from a online dictionary. We weren’t supposed to get it from a dictionary site so I went and did more research. I researched 2 definitions and got better results from a more credible source.
My first source came from a blog that was posted on Stephen Joseph’s website. In the bog it says “Looking for similarities and differences across the six theoretical perspectives in how they defined well-being, he identified fourteen distinct and recurring constructs that are used to describe well-being: happiness means feeling happy and cheerful, vitality means feeling energetic/full of energy, calmness means feeling calm/relaxed, optimism means being optimistic and hopeful, involvement means feeling completely involved and engaged in what you do, self-awareness means being in touch with how you feel, self-acceptance means accepting yourself the way you are, self-worth means liking yourself, competence means feeling highly effective at what you do, development means feeling you are improving, developing, advancing, purpose means having a purpose and a mission in life, significance means feeling that what you do is worthwhile, congruence means feeling that what you do is consistent with how you see yourself, and connection means feeling close and connected to the people around you.” My second source came from a blog and video of Robert Emmons speaking posted on his website. In the post, he highlights 4 of the many reason gratitude is good for you. They were gratitude allows us to celebrate the present, it blocks toxic, negative emotions and grateful people are more stress resistant. Another topic he talks about is the effects that gratitude can have on someone. The first out of the three is physically it’s proven to improve the immune system, less bothered by aches and pains, lower blood pressure, people tend to exercise more and care about their health, sleep longer and feel more refreshed when awakening. The second is psychologically people have a better sense of positive emotion, they are more alert, alive and awake, experience more joy and pleasure, along with a more optimistic outlook and happiness. The third and final is the social part of people’s lives helping them feel more helpful, generous and compassionate, more forgiving and outgoing. This really helped me get the information that I needed to prove that the three good things gratitude process did help me.
