Barbra Fredrickson’s Broaden and Build Theory (Fredrickson 2001) examined and explained the benefits of experiencing positive emotions. Her study showed that when we are in a positive headspace our viewpoint is broadened, we can pay more attention to details and have a wider view of situations which increases problem-solving. When we move into a negative headspace our view of a situation narrows and we have decreased problem-solving skills. This means, when we find ourselves experiencing negative emotions, which ironically are the times that we could use some extra resources, we are left with fewer.
