One Positive Thing

Putting theory into practice.

Watched TEd talk called The happy secret to better work.

Basic gist was that people think that the key to happiness is success. The talk suggested this was backwards and should be the key to success is happiness. It listed stats showing that if your brain feels positive as opposed to negative, neutral or stressed it performs 37% better.

Currently I am struggling to get focused and make progress with my uni work. So thought I'd procrastinate a little longer and put this theory into practice.

The talk described things to do to help keep your brain happy.
First step Journal positivity - hence the blog - so need to name at least one positive thing that happened today. Hard to do when you have been focused on negative so going tohave to try and list off a few.

* Sat at the table with Jake for breakfast
* Jonah came and played with me in bed this morning while Jake was at basketball
* Coloured in with Neve
* Made neve laugh and smile after a tantrum - which then made me smile
* Got some washing done and the dishes washed and packed away.
* Had a nice dinner at Aunty Margaret and Uncle Karls house


The other suggestions included daily exercise - meditation to allow you to focus  and - service or pay it forward where you actively do one nice thing for someone else.

Now this is done for the night, I will attempt to use my refreshed and positively reset brain to complete some more of my assignment.
