Which emotions are guiding your actions today? Scientific research by Barbara Fredrickson shows positive ones move us towards exploration, insight, possibility, excellence. Yes, POSITIVE EMOTIONS BROADEN OUR PERSPECTIVE whereas negative emotions narrow them #heartbasedleadership 
"The more moments we have of that broaden mindset the more we build our resources and change who we are and become a more resilient, more resourceful, more connected version of ourselves (...) Positive emotions are like nutrients, we need them to grow & change" B. Fredrickson
Fredrickson points out that in fact "more than 20 years of experiments by Alice Isen of Cornell University & her colleagues show that when people feel good, their thinking becomes more creative, integrative, flexible, and open to information" factorhappiness.at/downloads/quel… #creativity
Fredrickson's advice is to also cultivate positive emotions "indirectly by finding positive meaning within current circumstances. Positive meaning can be obtained by finding benefits within adversity, by infusing ordinary events with meaning & by effective problem-solving."
