I'm listening to Hey Mama by Kanye and reading about positivity, there is a little girl in pigtails dancing around and it looks like she is dancing to Kanye West at times. There are pastries in the corner, people eating, drinking red fruit tea and waters with ice.
I'd like to be a better dancer. I would usually say that I don't know why I don't feel supported at school, but I think I know now that it is because I need family closer. Or I need long-term-friends to be around: The people who Know You Best.
Family = social connectedness = positive emotion. Positive emotion leads to broadened thinking, an upward spiral, they say (they = Frederickson and Joiner, 2002); positive emotions buffer individuals from stress (Folkman and Moskowitz 2000). Gotta love science, in the sense that sometimes it gets used in the real world.
