Nice to meet you . Is it like a switch that can be turned on and off happiness positivity ? You know , it's a good way of putting absolutely , you know , we're born with a genetic predisposition for happiness or unhappiness , but it's totally changeable and malleable .
These are feelings that have rippled across the country since COVID-19 hit so close to home . In many cases , we need to rediscover positivity when times get tough here to help us is Robert Mac , coach speaker , author , also called the celebrity happiness coach . Good to meet you .
So in any case , I began doing some research about unhappiness , depression , suicide and basically how to find my way out of the depths of despair and very , very slowly and gradually over the years through that research . And by applying a lot of the principles , I eventually found my way to increasing levels of happiness . Can you remember what the first step was that you took ?
For most of us , even those of us who don't consider ourselves very resilient . And lots of what we learned , you know , through the science of positive psychology is that you can learn to be more optimistic . It's an optimistic explanatory style .
It's extraordinarily helpful . The other thing I'd say is that positive thinking is very helpful , although it can be very challenging . And so sometimes if you can't be positive , try to be quiet , you know , you can just simply be quiet .
