[Quote No.50064] Need Area: Fun > General
"When you want to access a joyful state, ask yourself, 'If I were a master of joy, how would I speak and act now?'
Since this method doesn’t ask you to feel anything you're not actually feeling, it will be easier to speak and act the way you would if were a master of joy. This is the power of acting 'as if.' I have found that people who once claimed, 'I can't just decide to be joyful when I don't really feel joyful,' were able to benefit from this approach." - Rabbi Zelig Pliskin
Quote from his book, 'Life is Now: Creating moments of joy, courage, kindness, and serenity', p. 107.

[Quote No.50065] Need Area: Fun > General
"When you experience joy, you feel good because your magnificent brain produces hormones called endorphins. These self-produced chemicals give you happy and joyful feelings.
Research on these biochemicals has proven that the brain-produced hormones enter your blood stream even if you just act joyful, not only when you really are happy. Although the joyful experience is totally imaginary and you know that it didn’t actually happen, when you speak and act as if that imaginary experience did happen, you get a dose of endorphins.
These chemicals are naturally produced by your brain. They are totally free and entirely healthy.
Many people find that this knowledge inspires them to create more joyful moments. It’s not just an abstract idea, but a physical reality." - Rabbi Zelig Pliskin
Quote from his book, 'Life is Now: Creating moments of joy, courage, kindness, and serenity', p. 96.

[Quote No.50373] Need Area: Fun > General
"Smiling, even posed smiling, will make you feel happier.
Studies of what is called the 'facial feedback hypothesis' suggest that putting on a smiling face can actually trigger feelings of happiness. The firing of facial muscles when you smile is linked to the actual experience of happiness. So smile, and you will feel more positive emotion.

"Change It or Accept It:
Matters leading to sadness fall into two categories: matters that can be corrected and matters that cannot.
If something can be done to correct a situation, why feel sad? Simply take action to correct the matter!
On the other hand, if nothing can be done, what gain is there in feeling sad? Sadness will not improve matters. It is wiser to accept what cannot be changed." - Rabbi Zelig Pliskin

[Quote No.50682] Need Area: Fun > General
"One group was told to focus on all the upbeat things they could find - sunshine, flowers, smiling pedestrians. Another was to look for negative stuff - graffiti, litter, frowning faces. The third group was instructed to walk just for the exercise. At the end of the week, when the walkers' well-being was tested again, those who had deliberately targeted positive cues were happier than before the experiment. The negatively focused subjects were less happy, and the just plain exercisers scored in between. The point, says Bryant, is that 'you see what you look for. And you can train yourself to attend to the joy out there waiting to be had, instead of passively waiting for it to come to you.' " - Winifred Gallagher

"[Exercise improves positive mood:]
In a landmark study affectionately called SMILE (Standard Medical Intervention and Long-term Exercise), James Blumenthal and his colleagues [at Duke University] pitted exercise against the SSRI sertraline (Zoloft) in a sixteen-week trial... Blumenthal concluded that exercise was as effective as medication.
...
Researchers tracked 8,023 people for twenty-six years, surveying them about a number of factors related to lifestyle habits and healthiness starting in 1965. They checked back in with the participants in 1974 and in 1983. Of all the people with no signs of depression at the beginning, those who became inactive over the next nine years were 1.5 times more likely to have depression by 1983 than their active counterparts.
...
A massive Dutch study of 19,288 twins and their families published in 2006 showed that exercisers are less anxious, less depressed, less neurotic, and also more socially outgoing. A Finnish study of 3,403 people in 1999 showed that those who exercise at least two to three times a week experience significantly less depression, anger, stress, and 'cynical distrust' than those who exercise less or not at all.
