Positivity is KEY * 1
    #22164995 - 08/30/15 02:20 PM (8 years, 4 months ago)

So lately
Ive been thinking alot :lol:

About life in general, existence etc. About how amazing and crazy it is darkness and light all that jazz
And i always come to the conclusion
that  its best to keep a open but firm mind about everything and always strive towards happiness in any way you see fit that doesnt harm others or the world around you.
Improvement, drive,
And that to me is Love :heart:
sometimes be it tough love

I also been thinking about spirituality alot lately too an  i feel i found IT (for me) my word or belief is not law. Just my personal belief
That the universe is one loving crazy twisted thing of matter.
:mindblown:

May this all be delusional nonsense
But who is to say?

I could die right now, and i feel it would be nothing but loving merging with spirit and matter
But until my day comes i wont  truly know

But my  point is
That this present place in time NOW is too precious to waste even a second of it
Embrace every moment good or bad!
Strive to be the best and happiest  you can be!
Improve, love, embrace and merge work towards your own goals! :smile:

Myles, you need to discover a new image.

Back to OP, positivity (don't think that's a word) is key but, besides drugs and truly enlightened moments of thinking, it's a truly difficult trait to cling to.

I vibe with this. Confidence and positivity. Imo. I'm always laughing. I just dont take life too seriously. There are things i have to be serious about. But other than that i laugh through life.

Yeah on friday i was laughing hours straight the hardest i ever laughed in years after a amazing night and overall past few months of my life
Ive been doing nothing but improving myself and the world around me as much as i can, and i never been happier than i have now


And happiness does nothing but drive me to go as far as i can while i can.
I am just completely content  on life

This year has been a physical and mental and also a spirtual trip for me, by far the best year of my life so far, an  i plan on doing nothing but making everyday better than the last, I wanna do nothing but be truly happy and improve

Ah haha
on friday i was gifted a some lsd tabs and a few hundred mg of mxe
i did alittle of each, :lol:
but even before that
the past few months i have ben the most positive and sober i have  in years
nothin  but weed an  kratom and a psyche trip every now and then
but this isnt even about drug use anymore

i have learned all i need from them, they aren't my goal in life whatsoever, but i do like to enjoy them responsibly in moderation

I have  had a amazing diet, excercise routine and good habits since around may
I fell i have matured quite a bit, im still young and have plenty of mistakes to be had, but il do nothing but learn

Getting the chance to live is what makes me feel positive. It's so cool to think about how hard it is for this universe to sustain life and then here we are chilling on Earth, in this never ending space. We won the lotto from birth.

Do not let psychedelics allow you to think lower of people who haven't done them or don't plan on doing them because "they don't know the truth". Let your enlightenment acknowledge that everyone is equal and that no one is inferior. This mentality goes against what they are meant for.

I was going to draft out this big long response, but turns out i've already drafted a big long response, to you, on this topic, before.

Here DaddyZomed; an article about how positive-thinking and friendlyness is quite literally a positive, self-reinforcing, self-realizing phenomenon that can perpetuate ad nauseum.  I have it hanging in my office; and live by it.

http://www.economist.com/news/science-and-technology/21567876-you-can-it-helps-think-well-yourself-first-place-think-yourself


    Quote:

    THE link between mind and body is terrain into which many medical researchers, fearing ridicule, dare not tread. But perhaps more should do so. For centuries, doctors have recognised the placebo effect, in which the illusion of treatment, such as pills without an active ingredient, produces real medical benefits. More recently, respectable research has demonstrated that those who frequently experience positive emotions live longer and healthier lives. They have fewer heart attacks, for example, and fewer colds too.

    Why this happens, though, is only slowly becoming understood. What is needed is an experiment that points out specific and measurable ways in which such emotions alter an individual’s biology. And a study published in Psychological Science, by Barbara Fredrickson and Bethany Kok at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, does precisely that.

    Dr Fredrickson and Dr Kok concentrated their attentions on the vagus nerve. This nerve (illustrated right, in an early anatomical drawing) starts in the brain and runs, via numerous branches, to several thoracic and abdominal organs including the heart. Among its jobs is to send signals telling that organ to slow down during moments of calm and safety.

    How effectively the vagus nerve is working can be tracked by monitoring someone’s heart rate as he breathes in and out. Healthy vagal function is reflected in a subtle increase in heart rate while breathing in and a subtle decrease while breathing out. The difference yields an index of vagal tone, and the value of this index is known to be connected with health. Low values are, for example, linked to inflammation and heart attacks.

    What particularly interested Dr Fredrickson and Dr Kok was recent work that showed something else about the vagal-tone index: people with high tone are better than those with low at stopping bad feelings getting overblown. They also show more positive emotions in general. This may provide the missing link between emotional well-being and physical health. In particular, the two researchers found, during a preliminary study they carried out in 2010, that the vagal-tone values of those who experience positive emotions over a period of time go up. This left them wondering whether positive emotions and vagal tone drive one another in a virtuous spiral. They therefore conducted an experiment on 65 of the university’s staff, to try to find out.

    They measured all of their volunteers’ vagal tones at the beginning of the experiment and at its conclusion nine weeks later. In between, the volunteers were asked to go each evening to a website especially designed for the purpose, and rate their most powerful emotional experiences that day. Dr Fredrickson and Dr Kok asked their volunteers to consider nine positive emotions, such as hope, joy and love, and 11 negative ones, including anger, boredom and disgust. They were asked to rate, on a five-point scale, whether—and how strongly—they had felt each emotion. One point meant “not at all”; five meant “extremely”. In addition, half the participants, chosen at random, were invited to a series of workshops run by a licensed therapist, to learn a meditation technique intended to engender in the meditator a feeling of goodwill towards both himself and others. This group was encouraged to meditate daily, and to report the time they spent doing so.

    Dr Fredrickson and Dr Kok discovered that vagal tone increased significantly in people who meditated, and hardly at all in those who did not. Among meditators, those who started the experiment with the highest vagal-tone scores reported the biggest increases in positive emotions. Meditators who started with particularly low scores showed virtually no such boost.

    Taken as a whole, these findings suggest high vagal tone makes it easier to generate positive emotions and that this, in turn, drives vagal tone still higher. That is both literally and metaphorically a positive feedback loop. Which is good news for the emotionally positive, but bad for the emotionally negative, for it implies that those who most need a psychosomatic boost are incapable of generating one. A further (as yet unpublished) experiment by Dr Kok suggests, however, that the grumpy need not give up all hope. A simpler procedure than meditation, namely reflecting at night on the day’s social connections, did seem to cause some improvement to their vagal tone. This might allow even those with a negative outlook on life to “bootstrap” their way to a mental state from which they could then advance to the more powerful technique of meditation.

    Whether, besides improving general health, the mechanism Dr Fredrickson and Dr Kok have discovered helps explain the placebo effect remains to be investigated. But it might, because part of that effect seems to be the good feeling engendered by the fact of being treated. More generally, doctors in the ancient world had a saying: “a healthy mind in a healthy body”. This sort of work suggests that though this proverb is true, a better one might be, “a healthy mind for a healthy body”.
