I agree with your post. What kind of hobby(ies) did you take on to help you stay positive?
I like your idea of focusing on better thoughts. My dad used to call it (when I was a kid) replacing a lie with a truth. We are creatures of habit so he said when we have negative thoughts, those are actually habits because they happen without us even thinking first. So he said in order to think positively and "happily" we have to discipline ourselves to replace a lie with a truth.
Playing tennis is actually one of my favorite things to do. It helps me forget about the stressors of life and focus on something I really enjoy!
Aw I really like looking at it your dad's way. They really are just lies we convince ourselves to believe.

Yes! I had never thought if it that way before either until he laid it out.
I like your plan of playing tennis, I run. It is amazing what blowing a little steam at the gym or on the court will do for your mental health (and physical health).
