DBT’s emotion regulation module teaches you to understand what emotions are and why they fire, reduce vulnerability to emotional overwhelm, and change unwanted emotional states through specific skills. DBT as a whole has strong randomized-trial support; the individual skills are established clinical practice rather than separately trialed units. - Building Positive Emotions, Made Practical
Positive emotions can be cultivated deliberately through practices that vary what triggers them: gratitude, savoring, meaningful engagement, kindness, and awe are the most studied routes. Barbara Fredrickson’s broaden-and-build theory proposes that positive emotions expand thinking and build psychological resources over time — supported by observational research, though some specific claims (like the 3:1 ratio) have not replicated. The individual practices have varying but mostly real evidence bases. - Build mastery
Do one thing every day that is challenging and leaves you feeling capable.
