Go Happify Yourself!

         I recently came across this website called Happify. I signed up for a membership (it was the only way to see what it offered). Basically the site is to help us get rid of our normal negative thinking, and habits. Step one of the process is depositing positive emotions into your "bank".  After you create your first post, you can make it public or private. Should you forgo making it private then the community on Happify can see your posts. Once you post, you will start to receive a certain amount of points. I imagine these will calculate your progress to happiness.

      **Some of the pluses of this site according to them, and what I have thus far witnessed is that it will help in reducing feelings of sadness and hopelessness, you'll start to feel better about your life, and also combat innate negative feelings. According to the site "Happify's activities and games are based on a decade's worth of cutting-edge research by psychologists and neuroscientists from leading academic institutions around the world. Our proprietary framework is designed to train your brain and help you build skills for lasting happiness—delivering effective and measurable results." 

        Even science is jumping on board and doing studies about what makes us thrive instead of what makes us fold. They understand the significance of positive studies rather than studies on all the negative stuff. According to Dr. Martin Seligman, a psychology professor at the University of Pennsylvania and a pioneer in the field says: "What thoughts, actions, and behaviors make us more productive at work, happier in our relationships, and more fulfilled at the end of the day? That is the focus of the field of positive psychology, often referred to as the science of happiness. Its goal? To investigate what makes us flourish." 

       So you see... we can retrain ourselves our minds to be positive thinking machines that can create a world of happiness within us. And, which in turn, will project outward so our reality begins to be what we want to create. Hence creating our own reality, but in positive ways.
Go check out the site! I know I told you it can be done.. but if science says it can then it must be true.

Good Luck!
