Does complaining help or hurt the quest for happiness?

Lynn Ianni (Psychotherapist) gives expert video advice on: How do thought patterns affect happiness?; Do happy people think differently from unhappy people?; What are some characteristics of depressed thinking? and more...

Well, it's interesting. A therapist named Virginia Satir once said, "You cannot be depressed and fly a kite." It's physiologically impossible. Partly because of where you are looking. Because the eye patterns, if you're looking up, it's absolutely physiologically impossible to feel down. You'll notice that if you watch anybody, on the television or movies or something, if they're depressed and they're looking up, it would read so incongruent that nobody would think they were a very good actor. Depression is down. You look down, you feel down, it's down. So when your focus is up and is positive, you continue to create that. If your focus is negative, you continue to create that too. Where do you want to be? Up or down? Your choice.
