I’m with you in spirit, mate, and a believer in positivity myself. However, I’m not sure how much is down to the way we’re made and nurtured or how much is in our own hands. A lot is in our own hands for sure but not all, I suspect.Yes I do,. massively. My glass is overflowingly full not half full.
The Mrs however has a glass not half empty but completely empty, with a crack in it and a smear of shit on the side.
Her loss. I long since realised that being happy in life is actually a choice. You can choose to be happy or choose to be miserable. It's up to you.
That's not to say we don't all have setbacks and problems and upsets - traumatic sometimes. But how you deal with these and come out the other side is very largely in your own hands.
Half the battle, I’m sure, is setting standards for yourself and striving to achieve challenges. They don’t have to be world beaters, just relevant and reasonably stretching in a personal context. Learning a new skill, for example.I'm always positive about life, got it from my mother.
Although winter in UK used to piss me off I think I suffered with that SAD condition as that gloomy feeling disappeared when emigrated.
I remember I got very gloomy when the clocks were turned back an hour.
Work hard, find out what makes you happy and if something is pissing you off, do something about it.
We're a long time dead, make the most of life.
Setting targets that are achievable but ambitious to stretch yourself and if you manage them you get a good feeling is the way to go rather than coasting through lifeHalf the battle, I’m sure, is setting standards for yourself and striving to achieve challenges. They don’t have to be world beaters, just relevant and reasonably stretching in a personal context. Learning a new skill, for example.
Aim low, achieve little, and there’s not much to feel good about.
Have I somehow navigated into the 'Said no-one ever thread'?I used to be a right miserable fucker till @Mad Eyed Screamer got me listening to Morrissey and @dronefromsector7G told me it's okay and normal to wank several times a day.
It's a new feature the BlueMoon boffins have come up with.Have I somehow navigated into the 'Said no-one ever thread'?
Mine obviously is not working thenIt's a new feature the BlueMoon boffins have come up with.
They embedded a tracker into the software that guides you towards threads that make your visit a more positive/happy experience.
Beats the alternative.life`s great !
I do actually believe that.Positivity is a choice, and it'd be welcoming if more people were educated from a younger age about the power of that choice.
