However, I believe that facing all of life’s problems and obstacles with a smile makes it that much easier. I have become an optimist because there are just some things that I cannot control and as long as I am happy it will somehow work out. Some suggestions from positive psychology that I currently incorporate into my life are exercise, volunteering, and focusing more of experiences than things. I exercise in some way everyday whether it be walking with my dog or playing competitive volleyball. I love exercising because it allows you to take your mind off of some of the stresses in your life and enjoy yourself. I also love volunteering at my local hospital. And honestly I have always said that I do it for a selfish reason because it not only helps other people but it makes me feel good and makes me feel like I am making a difference. However, there are some things in positive psychology that I want to work on getting better at. I want to try a time journal and yoga. These are things that have always interested me but I have never made time for them and I think it is important that I start making these changes now. I think that setting aside time at the end of the day to right in a journal, do some yoga, meditate, and sit back and think about all the blessings I have to be thankful for will make me happier in life and promote a healthier
