Research shows that people who live their lives with a sense of gratitude are happier and less likely to suffer from psychological issues. A study by the University of Twente shows that training yourself to be more thankful can help people to feel better and increase mental resilience. This is the first time that this has been demonstrated convincingly. Professor of Positive Mental Health Ernst Bohlmeijer explains: “Previously, research into exercises to train people’s sense of gratitude had not been able to discern much effect. So we decided to study the effect of a six-week training. The results of the study were published today in the Journal of Happiness Studies .”
No shame in being a simpleton.
Besides many genius people were caught smiling to themselves. Being able to keep oneself entertained is a great skill to have.
It just makes sense that when I’m focused on what is wrong or what I don’t have, I feel down and frustrated. When I focus on what I do have and what good there is and am thankful, I feel more uplifted and positive.
That’s ridiculous. What a horrible person to be in a position of power, as a teacher, and use it to try to belittle someone, with false information no less. That teacher should be ashamed.
