[Quote No.66014] Need Area: Fun > Anticipation
"A Simple Mental Maneuver That Will Bring You Up:
Here's a simple question you can ask when your mind isn't otherwise engaged in something. Ask yourself, 'What can I look forward to?' And don't just ask it once. After you get an answer, ask yourself what else you could look forward to? And what else?
It helps you feel better and get more done when you have things to look forward to. And it's a fairly common mistake many of us make to actually have legitimate things to look forward to without looking forward to them because you're too busy dealing with day-to-day problems.
That's why this is a good question to ask. It lifts you out of your narrow focus, which is naturally dominated by a negative bias if left unchecked, and lets you look ahead to something pleasant.
You daydream sometimes anyway, right? While driving, showering, walking to and from places, closing your eyes at the end of the day. Take advantage of these brief moments and ask yourself what you can look forward to.
And don't ignore the small things in the short term. Go ahead and imagine the long-range big goals or events, but also think about the near future. When you get home from work, what is something you could look forward to, even a little? This weekend, what is one thing that will happen or that you can make happen that you can look forward to? Think about it, and then enjoy that nice feeling, even for a moment. It has a residual effect on your mood." - Adam Khan

"When I look back on all these worries, I remember the story of the old man who said on his deathbed that he had had a lot of trouble in his life, most of which had never happened. [Remember that about 90 percent of what we fear turns out to be merely F.E.A.R. = False Evidence Appearing Real!]" - Winston Churchill

[Quote No.66555] Need Area: Fun > Anticipation
"The fundamental guideline for not deploying optimism is to ask what the cost of failure is in the particular situation. If the cost of failure is high, optimism is the wrong strategy. The pilot in the cockpit deciding whether to de-ice the plane one more time, the partygoer deciding whether to drive home after drinking, the frustrated spouse deciding whether to start an affair that, should it come to light, would break up the marriage should not use optimism. Here the costs of failure are, respectively, death, an auto accident, and a divorce. Using techniques that minimize those costs is inappropriate. On the other hand, if the cost of failure is low, use optimism. " - Martin E. P Seligman
Martin E.P. Seligman, Ph.D., professor of psychology at the University of Pennsylvania and a past president of the American Psychological Association, is a leading motivational expert and an authority on learned helplessness. His many books include Authentic Happiness and The Optimistic Child. Dr. Seligman's research has been supported by the National Institute of Mental Health, the National Institute on Aging, the National Science Foundation, the MacArthur Foundation, and the Guggenheim Foundation. Quote from his book, 'Learned Optimism', published 2006, which draws on more than twenty years of clinical research to demonstrate how optimism enhances the quality of life, and how anyone can learn to practice it.

[Quote No.66879] Need Area: Fun > Anticipation
"[Future anticipation:] What is the use of planning to be able to eat next week unless I can really enjoy the meals when they come?
If I am so busy planning how to eat next week that I cannot fully enjoy what I am eating now, I will be in the same predicament when next week's meals become 'now.'
If my happiness at this moment consists largely in reviewing happy memories [past satisfaction] and expectations [future anticipation], I am but dimly aware of this present [mindfulness experience].
I shall still be dimly aware of the present when the good things that I have been expecting come to pass.
For I shall have formed a habit of looking behind and ahead, making it difficult for me to attend to the here and now.
If, then, my awareness of the past and future makes me less aware of the present, I must begin to wonder whether I am actually living in the real world. [All time periods - past, present and future - are important.]" - Alan Watts

[Quote No.67422] Need Area: Fun > Anticipation
"[Fear and worry: strictly limit the time you allow for negative anticipation, even to the point of setting an appointment daily with a start and finish time:] A psychology professor walked around on a stage while teaching stress management principles to an auditorium filled with students. As she raised a glass of water, everyone expected they'd be asked the typical 'glass half empty or glass half full' question. Instead, with a smile on her face, the professor asked, 'How heavy is this glass of water I'm holding?'
Students shouted out answers ranging from eight ounces to a couple pounds.
She replied, 'From my perspective, the absolute weight of this glass doesn't matter. It all depends on how long I hold it. If I hold it for a minute or two, it's fairly light. If I hold it for an hour straight, its weight might make my arm ache a little. If I hold it for a day straight, my arm will likely cramp up and feel completely numb and paralyzed, forcing me to drop the glass to the floor. In each case, the weight of the glass doesn't change, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it seems to me.
As the class shook their heads in agreement, she continued, 'Your stresses and worries in life are very much like this glass of water. Think about them for a while and nothing happens. Think about them a bit longer and you begin to ache a little. Think about them all day long and you will feel completely numb and paralyzed, incapable of doing anything else until you drop them.'

[Quote No.67560] Need Area: Fun > Anticipation
"[Mo Gawdat's 'Equation for Happiness':-] The equation says that happiness is greater than, or equal to, your perception of the events in your life minus your expectation of how life should be. [If your expectations are bigger than your perception of events then the result is negative, rather than positive, and disappointment and unhappiness are felt. This can be managed by remembering frustration and ingratitude are experienced when reality is compared to something better. Relief and gratitude are experienced when reality is compared with something worse. So another way of expressing a formula for happiness would be = If Reality is greater than or equal to Expectations then happiness is felt, if not then unhappiness is felt.] " - Mo Gawdat
