Document Summary
Happier people/better looking people hold less grudges. Forgiveness can be bad if the person you forgive repeats the bad behavior. Don"t assume every bad thing someone does to you is intentional. Person isn"t likely to repeat the transgression. Try to see your role in the behavior. Tell the person why you are hurt. Walking in green spaces makes you happier. Running in a city street vs a park. Exercise in an environment that is peaceful and you"ll feel better. Catastrophizing - exaggerating the harmful effects of something that happens to you. When the teacher offers a mild criticism and you are sure you"ll fail the entire course. Seeing yourself as the cause of the negative event. Your child fails a test, and you assume it"s because you"re a bad parent. You don"t need an a, a b is fine. You know you aren"t perfect, so you must be a loser. Interpreting one unpleasant situation as an endless pattern.
