On this blogs, I am going to talk about the process that I use in my research project. After the meeting with my group, "DELCO'S FINEST", I make a schedule for my research project. With my teacher's advice, I register for tutoring. Here is my finding
The “Three good things” process helps me to be more responsible to my family. Martin Seligman in a field of positive psychology defined PERMA as the building blocks of well-being and happiness: Positive emotions – feeling good Engagement – being completely absorbed in activities Relationships – being authentically connected to others Meaning – purposeful existence Achievement – a sense of accomplishment and success (Neutrino) During the week of three good things, my database showed a high percentage of “positive emotion “(Blog #10). It means, I was mostly with my family. The stressful time was offset by the nice time that we spent for dinner, riding and playing with my 17 months old boy. I saw how my son persevered when he faced the challenge games. “According to positive psychology, love, joy, affection, and amusement are four components of twenty-six examples of positive emotion. (“Positive Emotion”). This means that we cannot be happy without expressing affection for our loved one. It also says that if a family takes time to play, they can improve their life. For example, on Thanksgiving day, families travel from one place to another to be together. It is not enough. Our well-being depends on the time we spend with our family. How many families were separated because one is too busy to care about another? How many families could not talk to each other because one cannot recognize the effort that another was doing? Well-being, gratitude is to care about your lovely one, to give him affection, and to show him how much you love. Our well-being depends on our ability to build stronger relationship. The three good things process helps me to build relationships with friends. It helps me by keeping me connected to my friends. During this week, I felt like I had to be good at everything. I tried to understand which of my behaviors that I wrote down needed more attention. I questioned myself, how many time I said thank you to someone who helped me. Every time that I wrote down I challenged myself to be more friendly with my friends the next day. For example, on the day 05/11, in the morning, when I arrived to my workplace, I asked my co-worker Herni if I was a grateful person and why? Here is it answer, “I worked with you about two years, you never asked me some kind of questions. This week I see that you tried to talk with your friends during lunch time. Every time you were alone, I was surprised”. It is true what she said. I was completely a different person during this time, and tried to be a better person that before. Our gratitude remains on our accomplishment. The “Three good things” process helps me to meet my career goals. One of the elements of PERMA is Accomplishment. By writing this down I know what I have done during the day. The more the accomplishment is higher, the more my satisfaction. In my journal, the first day was not completed because I did not do my homework. When I wrote down something, I was able to finish my homework next day. When you keep daily the record of your accomplishments, you know exactly your ability to perform tasks in your workplace.

In this blog #13, I am presenting a draft of my introduction. After presenting my introduction to my group, my team make some recommendation for improving. It was found that my introduction have a hook, I mention the "three good things", my introduction end with TPS thesis statement, and the thesis statement reference that the "three good thing" work for me. However I have to give more information about the "three good thing" process. I should also write the title of each section for example, Introduction for this section. I realized that the fact that we work in the small group was really helpful and the "Informal Presentation Feedback" sheet gave by the teacher was important for the process.
Here is my first draft introduction: Can the “Three Good Things’’ gratitude process has a positive impact on my well-being? A new poll found that more 90% of American agreed that grateful people are more fulfilled, lead richer lives, and are more likely to have friends (Elianna, Jeremy Adam Smith). As advised by Martin Seligman, a positive Psychologist, I wrote down each day, everything that went well for me that day. I realized that gratitude is the most important thing in our life. “The three goods things” process have a positive impact on my well-being because it helps to be more responsible to my family, build a good relationship with friends, and meet my career goals. Here is the Informal Presentation Feedback ipf_introduction.jpg On this blog, I am writing about research project. The three important point that we have seen in class are Source material, Intext citations, and my paper. Reference picture below. As you can see on this picture It is important in this stage to show where you get the information from. whenever you summarize(tell in few word the story for example), paraphrase(Using some word of the book or document to explain the story) or using Direct Quote (Take the original words from the source), you should give credibility to your source.
According to the teacher, here are examples of citations: 1- Parenthetical citation: (Doe 73) 2- Embedded citation: appears in the body of the sentence(Reference picture below) 3- If you summarize in your own word: ---------------------------. In this blog, I am writing to Dr Seligman about his PERMA theory. At the beggining of the class, our teacher asked us to write him an open letter. It is a free writing, five minutes. I talk in this letter about my 7 days experience and asked him to help me understand more about hapiness and the negative situations DCCC 06 November, 2018
Dear Dr Seligman I am writing this letter because I read your theory about a Positive Psychology. While reading, I wrote every day three positive things that happening to me, such as talking to my best friend, spending time with my family,and helping others. I realised that this king of exercise Is really helpful. It helps me to improve my personal live and bring me happiness. However it is not easy to do everyday, because most of time we do thing that it waste our time ,and there are also many negative situations that interefer with these positive situations. What do to you advice me? I thing we have to care more about something we can change like, when you need money, you work, and you get pay. But something we cannot change should be remove out of our mind to give us more happiness. What do you thing? I do also believe that our hapiness do not onl y depend on money but it also to make sure that we balance as well our private life and professional life. I hope my letter get you well.
