A wonderful Friday and a Good Friday to those who celebrate it ❤️


Create micro moments of positivity to feel happier in life 😊

Our brains are hard-wired to look for danger, giving weight to negative emotions over positive ones. So, whenever we focus excessively on negative things we feed the negative bias in our brains. Overcoming our negative bias is not easy, but there are things we can do intentionally to make our brains happier!

One way to improve our lives is by creating “micro-moments” of positivity: seeking out the people or things that bring you joy.

Each day holds countless opportunities for positive emotions and positive connections can make a difference.

So, today I will send a brief message to my friend wishing them a lovely day and letting them know how much I care about them.


What could you do to create positive moments in your life today?

Hi Ami:

I sent a message to a coworker (who has been out for three weeks) saying that they have been missed. They were very happy to receive it.

Each day holds countless opportunities for positive emotions and positive connections can make a difference. And I play my guitar and sing for everyone.

So, today I will send a brief message to my friend wishing them a lovely day and letting them know how much I care about them. And I will too.

@amiablePeace77 Well my life is caving in. My electricity was turned off yesterday. But I am thankful for my pets. They will be cared for and fed no matter what. So I am very thankful to have them!

@sky1263

I'm so so sorry to hear about your electricity cut-off. Being without electricity can become a big challenge in these days, I hope very much that there will be a way so you get it back soon. Nice that you still see the good in life and care for your pets!

Hi, Peace,

Tonight I talked to a raccoon and fed the feral cats a little bit of extra dry food.

Awww that must have been a sweet conversation, racoons are adorable! I guess the feral cats were happy getting an extra portion to eat. Do you feed them every day?

@amiablePeace77,

:) lol Well it wasn't much of a conversation with the raccoon. It just looked at me while it kept eating the Meow Mix I put out for the cats. Yes, I feed the feral cats twice a day and give them fresh water at least once per day.

What could you do to create positive moments in your life today?

I don't think I do enough, really. This is something to think about. If I had a friend, I could talk to them.

Play music and sing.

@Offmytrack

Music and singing are one of the best ways to uplift or comfort yourself in my view, particularly when you can play your own instrument like a guitar and sit somewhere and sing.

@amiablePeace77 What could you do to create positive moments in your life today?

The simplest thing I do is just take a breath. Sitting quietly my mind settles down or I sing and it helps me feel better.
