i was listening to "this american life" the other day and heard part of a segment being done on different stories of people going to college. why they went? how they went? i don't know if there was a common theme or not, i only heard one part of one of the three stories.
the description of the man in this particular story included the statement that he was the "happiest" man on earth. and someone asked his wife; "what's his secret?"
and she said that it was sort of amazing, but she had seen him do it in a variety of circumstances...something would happen to him or around him and he would make a conscious decision about how to react.
he decided to be happy.
and i thought, "what a brilliant idea".
i am someone who gets into bad moods all the time. whether my hormones, my road rage, my lack of sleep, food, whatever, there is always something that could spark a bad mood from me.
and while i have not yet mastered or even been able to utilize this practice, i have thought about it several times. it might not be as easy as it sounds, but it's probably not as difficult as it seems either
