Me too. This is also called "fake it till you make it". It sounds like empty b.s. But there is a lot to it. The book Stop Worrying and Start Living suggests that when your mood is bad, force yourself to smile and pretend outwardly that everything is good. I've found this really helps, even though it sounds dumb.
Also along the same lines is Picasso's famous quote: inspiration comes, but it has to find us working.
- louhike 12y agoYou made a typo, it should be "How to Stop Worrying and Start Living".
- unoti 12y agoFixed, thanks, that's a funny one!
- a_c_s 12y agoWhen this works it is great. Always nice to have this "life hack" available. However, it doesn't always work for people with depression, and unfortunately when it fails it can make things worse rather than better.
