i try to use it. i fail. i think negative..people get annoyed. thoughts seem pointless to me cuz i cant win either way. might as well not think anything. ahh see more negatives…fuck u positivity..ur too difficult.
Thinking positively has some benefits, but it’s about a positive direction, and not specific positives. So if you’re not happy, you don’t think, “I’m happy,” because you’re not. You think, “How can I get from here, to ‘happy?'”
You can improve things if you want, but it’s about maneuvering and managing the things you have control over.
positivity is more about spinning or shifting the weight and gravity you give certain actions or situations … it doesn’t “make” a bad thing suddenly “good” … it makes a bad thing less bad so instead of the bad thing being “the end of the world” it only becomes a minor inconvenience”
“Oh No – I lost my wallet/purse!! my whole world is destroyed!! I will be broke and ruined”
“Oh No – I lost my wallet/purse!! … maybe i left it in the car? … oh well – i can call and cancel the credit cards”
And it also about making good things better – shift everything towards good – but it doesn’t necessarily mean life is worry free – it just means you don’t stress and worry as much – besides – to worry is to waste time and energy on something that either has not happened or can’t be changed – it’s better to focus on the solution and not the problem
