Positive thinking and happiness[1] go hand in hand; when you live a life filled with joy, you are more likely to think positive thoughts, while sadness can bring with it the shadows of negativity. Because there can be so many meanings to happiness, experts have renamed it well-being, which focuses on the individual’s overall feelings in the present. When you are positive in life, you will be more pleased with whatever life sends your way, and when you are happy, you will see more of the positive rather than the negative side of life. When we are happy,[5] we not only make ourselves look at the positive side of life but also help others be more positive. Distance yourself from negative conversations that are unhealthy for you and those around you. https://lec.org/blog/lifestyle/positive-thinking-and-happiness/ (accessed: Feb. 15, 2023). “
