Happy Thoughts!

If you think happy thoughts, you will be happy. I really do think this is true. I think it is true on many levels, such as scientifically speaking, (i know right), and also emotionally thinking. When people are sad, I think all they need to do is think of the happy times of the past, the happy times that are happening, and the happy times to come, and regardless of any sort of situation they are sitting in at the moment, the sad thoughts will fade away and the happy ones will come in and fill their places in life!

So yes, I can say I am a professional on the topic medically. My credentials are one and a half terms of AP Psychology. So let me break this extremely detailed and scientific process into 5 words.... THINK HAPPY RELEASES HAPPY HORMONES. Simple as that right? I think that when in your mind you are thinking of happy things such as daisys and puppies, your brain releases the good hormones like epinephrine and dopamine (honestly I don't remember which one, I think I got a B or C on the test) And you create happiness. It is therefore simple to be happy.. chemically speaking of course!!

So but for these so called sad people, I am sure a common theme of "i am too sad to think happy thoughts right now!" So then it is not a battle of chemical warfare, it is therefore a battle of willpower! But I do think, personally, that everybody has a will, and you know what they say, if there's a will, there is a way. When someone is able to flush the bad thoughts out, they can replace them with good ones. But they tend to be consumed by these evil malicious thoughts. When they are able to become strong enough mentally to be able to do it, there will be nothing at all stopping them or holding them back.

So that is why I always try to think positively. Yeah, I have been sad before, I think everyone has. I haven't recently, mainly because I follow my own personal guide to happiness, and I think everyone could have their own personal guide. Mine works for me, and I think it is sad for the people who do not create one. This is the true meaning to being a glass half full person, not that when it is at half you say full, but when it is at a quarter, you don't say there is only a quarter left, you say I am one quarter of the way full.
