Positive Psychology

Positive Psychology
Thriving as a human when studied is classified as positive psychology. Unlike plain psychology that seems to wander the roads of disorder and illness, this is the road we seem to sometimes miss: happiness and fulfillment. In a time where things are starting to appear rough, we should really look into some positive psychology. We could all use a little cheering up. I know though, that too much of a good thing-isn’t a good thing. So don’t over do it, people. The glass is still only half with water, not full, but think of it as half full instead of half empty. A seemingly perfect thought of process, in my opinion anyways. Sure, I’m sometimes a tad bit more positive then the next guy, but hear me out on my take of what studies of positive psychology say makes life most worth living. (: The past decade is when positive psychology caught the eye beyond just academic purposes, everyday general people have become hooked, as well. I’m one of them and why shouldn’t you be, too? No, don’t blind your perspective on the more problem-focused psychology that has had its superiority for so long, because yes reality has it’s problems, but don’t ignore the good in it as well. The good life takes work and effort, don’t get discouraged. Sit back and take a look at your life, think of the bad, get all the negative out in the air. Now, go through all your good memories, a happy one to knock out the bad, no matter how significant it may be. It leads us to happiness, happiness classified as a part of life with a good spin. When we are happy we are satisfied, and as we go on with that we become even more satisfied, which will help us more easily find things to be happy about. This can lead us to trying harder, doing well in our environments, obtaining good social behaviors, and a good health and a longer life. All these things help design us a buffer to make our wall harder and stronger, better protection against the negative. Sure, we’ll see it, but we won’t let it knock us down!(:
