How many times have your great day been turned into a disaster just because of one bad word from someone or a piece of bad news? Some psychologists suggest that people have three times more positive experiences than negative. So, how can we turn things around and actually capitalize on all the good in our lives? It seems that our mind has a tendency to give more weight to the negative, and another problem is that over time we get used to a good experience they no longer have the same effect.
But the solution is rather “simple” – sharing joy increases joy; you should tell people about your happiness as it has far greater benefits for everyone.
It really is strange; sometimes when I play bingo instead of concentrating on winning some bucks, in cases I need to share my winnings, I think about the negative side – I think about why I need to share it. That’s how I felt when I played bingo in a 90-ball room at Bingo Chimp. In one game I had to share £14.42 with one more player, and I was so unsatisfied with the £7.21 part of the win. And I wonder why I had to obsess about that instead of just enjoying the game and the winnings; I just wish all those winnings where mine, that’s not too bad, right?
But I actually had a really good session, which I barely noticed. There were some nice wins between £5 and £20 for winning different parts of game. I then played the “Big Ben” slot and had a nice time with it. Not many empty spins and nice wins way over my bet of £0.18 were enough, without triggering a feature, to raise my balance for a few more pounds. After I took a deep breath, I finally accepted that I had a great time, and I will say it out loud “I had a great bingo time”. Spread the joy!
