What is the theory behind cultivating happiness worksheet?
Our brain remembers negative events more than positive ones and we overthink them which results in poor well-being and a disturbed mental state. However, if we focus on the positive aspects of our lives we will likely be more happier and grateful. Cultivating happiness means that we look for positive aspects and happy memories of our life and appreciate ourselves for what we achieved in life. This increases our self-esteem, and relationships, and reduces negativity.
