Life Changing Mindset

does positive thinking actually work to make you happier?

Public Comments

1. Yep, can be fun too.

Just because the world's shit doesn't mean you have to be too.

2. You can think all you want but that won't make you happier. Happiness comes from satisfaction and fulfillment. So think about something that will make you happy (think realistically that is) and then go out and do it. If it is challenging then you will feel more accomplished thus happier.

3. Yes, for the most part.

A certain event can cause sadness or joy but day-to-day happiness is a result of your personal decision on how you choose to be, not something that others do for you. You can choose to enjoy things during your day; a walk, your work, meeting people... many things. You would feel better and others would truly enjoy being around you and seek your company, a self-reinforcing cycle.

Another way toward happiness is to enjoy your work (work for others, school or even housework) and always try to do a very good job. Work gives meaning to your life. Even lowly tasks when performed well make you feel good about yourself. The results accumulate and others will notice that you are capable.

4. it does not seem to help me with my depression but that does not mean it will not work for anyone

5. I think it depends on you. It works for some and it doesn't work for others. Try it yourself and see how it goes.

6. It will if you actually believe the positive things that you are thinking.

7. 100% yes! And these days there are upteenth books that explain how! Any titles by Louise L. Hay, Deepak Chopra, Doreen Virtue, Neale Donald Walsch, Eckard Tolle, and Dr Dwayne Dyer will help no end! Also a little beauty titled "Set Yourself Free" by Shirley Smith!
