Mindfulness can be described as an ability to be fully present and aware of the existing moment, without interpreting or judging it. Practiced through meditation, mindfulness exercise can help you become aware of your negative, self-critical thoughts. Moreover, mindfulness can increase your optimism, boost your mood and improve your self-image.
The benefits of positive psychology are nearly endless. The positivity has the power of teaching us how to change our standpoint, overcome negative thinking and embrace positive affirmations. Also, research suggests that people who regularly show acts of kindness, for example, get a significant boost in well-being. Similarly, a longitudinal study by James H. Fowler and Nicholas A. Christakis showed that happiness is contagious in their study, people with happy partners and friends were more likely to be happy in the future.
