Want To Be With Happy Poeple!

[Ha****]

I am a member of a building forum, and recently discussions have got so negative - all about politics, Brexit, rise of the right wing, etc. and all a bit depressing. I go there to get away from things, down time, but just though that I could be somewhere nicer ... so searched and found you! Hoping for a more positive and happier forum experience.

Welcome @HappyJon!

I hear you. Politics can be so stressful, and it seems we are stumbling from crises into crises and all of it is so existential. The news are not helpful either, as they are mostly adding oil into the fire. I am glad you found your way into our small young community here. We just started a couple of months ago, so I am really happy you joined us and hopefully will bring in some of your positive and happy energy

Besides our own Happiness Magazine there is another good magazine called Positive News just like you, they are based in England - you might that refreshing for a change

Didn't realise only a few months old! Not had time to delve into the forum yet. Will look at Positive News too. So this is mostly US based?

[Julius]

No, we are based in Barcelona, Spain. We have two English guys in our team :) @Calvin77 who is in charge of the magazine and @BrettVallance who takes care of the Academy.

@Candy from South Africa and @Lizzie from Sweden are doing most of the Community work you see here so far. Then there is @Tine, @Bjoern and myself and a few developers in China :)

An international affair!

Hey @HappyJon, totally agree with you! The news and social media discussion has become so depressing, political and hateful of late. I try to limit my news and social media consumption now as i found it was agitating me. I hope you will find some stimulating and happier discussions here to get involved in!

I would like to start a video chat on happy related news and collective tips on how to achieve and maintain a happy day to day life

@HappyJon I deleted my Facebook and switched Social Media because of my disappointment in the political arena. And it seems like not enough is being accomplished as soon as it is needed. I was just sick with the nature of spin doctors, paid trolls, negative influencers whose intention is to put people in conflict and bring about nationalistic change and autocracy. My state of mind has been devastated. And though I think the truth in news reporting is important, I was feeling that social media in general has been doing a disservice to humanity. It makes me feel ill in spirit and I want to be part of a constructive and positive influence and not one of those folks that compulsively shares sensationalism, drama and negativity just because it ties into a victim mentality and I have allowed the media to manipulate me. I am looking for a way to contribute to peace and positivity and charity not division and strife and evil.
