Zest (positive psychology)

Okay kiddo, have you ever tasted orange juice? It's sweet and yummy, right? Now, imagine you can taste orange juice even better! That's what "zest" means in positive psychology. It's like having extra flavor and energy in your life, like being excited and enthusiastic about the things you do.

Let's say you like playing with your toys. Zest means you really look forward to doing it and enjoy it a lot! You might even be so enthusiastic about playing that you forget to eat or sleep. That's how cool zest can be!

To have zest, you need to be positive and optimistic about life. It means looking for the good things instead of the bad things, and being curious and adventurous. If something makes you happy, you go all in and enjoy it as much as possible!

So, zest is basically like having extra happiness and joy in your life, and it makes everything even more fun and exciting. Pretty cool, huh?
