Negative Thinking = Happiness?
Kathryn Hawkins:
You might expect that a walk down memory lane to the start of a new love would brighten anyone’s mood—and it did, to some extent. But the researchers found that the subjects who were asked to “subtract” their partner from their lives and consider an alternate reality came out of the experience feeling far happier than those who had shared their true stories.
There is a lot of psychology at work here, but interestingly enough I often find that the same is true for me. This really is not negative thinking, it is just taking your life and reflecting on it in a different manner.
