For today's blog post I just wanted to remind everybody to stay positive!
I personally have trouble doing this at times because I like to focus on the negative side of things which I have realized does not make me feel happy at all! If you seek positivity you will surely find it because your mind was focused on that. I think the problem that people often have is that when something negative happens during the day it's hard to get past our emotions of anger or sadness because we can't stop thinking about that certain event! Let it go. Move on. There is so much more to come of your day so please do not let one thing ruin the whole day, you may not be able to control what happens but you can certainly control how you react!
We all want to be happy. Research in psychology, sociology, philosophy, and business has explored the role of happiness in modern life. This website shares the efforts of Honors students and faculty at the University of New Mexico to investigate and apply common happiness practices to our own lives through a one-credit class. While only class members may post new content to this site, the general public is welcome to submit moderated comments.

Greetings Bronson,
ReplyDeleteThank you for this reminder. You are so correct in all that you have communicated. Often when something stressful happens at work, it can take days to recuperate from the emotional stress experienced. Yes, "I may not be able to control what happens, but I can certainly control how I react!" Thank you again.
Sincerely,
April Vihilidal
This is always a good reminder; I also tend to focus on the negative aspects of my day. It gets easier to be positive the more you do it! I have been practicing acknowledging negative thoughts and choosing to let go of them. I wish you luck in increasing your positivity!
ReplyDeleteWow I love to hear this! A negative thought is natural which is why its great to learn to let thoughts come and go without holding onto them throughout the whole day!
