Here’s a link to my December contribution to Positive Psychology New Daily – given that 2010 is nearly here, it seemed appropriate to write about ‘future mental time travel’ (MTT). This particular research suggests that practising future MTT every day can increase your level of happiness if you focus on positive events.
If you can’t think of any positive future events to savour, even thinking about neutral events in the future can be beneficial, by reducing your level of anxiety. So as you start planning for 2010, why not try your own experiment, and see if future MTT works for you?
As usual your thoughts and comments are welcome here and on the PPND site!
