I wake up every morning believing that today will be better than yesterday. Guess what. It is. The mind is a wonderful thing. It can turn situations into not bad when a few minutes before it was terrible. It can make you think good things when in the middle of a mess. It an do wonderful things for your life. " The emotional brain responds to an event more quickly than the thinking brain." I find that quote to be so very true. I think that you can train your brain to be positive rather than negative. People seem to lead with their heart, so to speak. I think that positivity it so much better for you emotional health. Hope every one out there is happy, healthy, and safe.

That is so true. Back when i was a university student, I was in a very stressful situation and I lost all hope. What i did was to stay calm. Then when i was emotionally stable, i stood up and face the situation bravely and the end result was way much better if not the greatest!

You’re right and I love your attitude! I often think of the poor souls who have taken their life when they faced situations that seemed unbearable at the time. Now I’m getting morbid. Sorry.

I read once that happiness is a choice in that you can choose to be happy pretty much whatever the circumstances.

In my situation I could be so negative and depressed; but I still manage to keep a sunny (kind of) outlook. Good for you!

It’s wonderful to have a choice to be happy, mad, glad or sad.

I also get up believing that today will be better than yesterday and all the days ahead even better. I like to think I'm a positive person. Hope you have a good day today

When you turn your life over to God and put it in His hands, only good things will follow. After all, God made the brain. It's time to praise Him for all His blessings. Then your brain will be emotionally healthy.
