Good Day!, today is just a good day.. Options

[ash08lhc]

So randomly this morning my friend walked up to me and said "Today is going to be a good day!" and i just absorbed her energy and so far today has actually been a really good day.
Do you ever get your friend's emotions like that? good or bad?

It's called peer pressure, m'dear. It's not always a bad thing.

peer pressure? nah, i don't think catching someone's mood is really peer pressure.
More when my friends drone on me and shove drinks in my face at a party,
and tell me to "drink up", is more what I think is peer pressure.
Feeling forced to do something because your friends or peers are doing it as well.






- I understand what you mean about catching someone's attitudes. There are some people that really can give you a lift in the middle of the day. Someone is having a good day, and you yourself find that your attitude torwards things changes. Sometimes it's not even about what happens in the day, it's more how you let it affect you. Whether you let it get to you or not.
Same with bad attitudes. Someone with a bad attitude can really bring you down, just being in their presence or talking to them kinda makes you a bit cranky as well.

Mrm, this is slightly off-topic, but...

I think that's what's kind of warped about the term "peer pressure", it's always negative. Isn't it possible to like....pressure someone to do homework? Or not eat chocolate?

My mom has been reading this book called The Secret, and it's basically saying that we're all just energy in the universe and using the Law of Attraction like, if you think something bad is going to happen, then you make something bad happen. If you think and hope for good things, then the universe in turn will have good things attracted to you. I kind of agree with it, but it's basically all just depending on your outlook on everything. If someone's all 'doom and gloom' and always expects negative things, then yeah, bad things will happen because you don't strive for better things.

I didn't explain that very well, but whatever.

I need to get that book! I've heard so much about it and the Law of Attraction and such. Even though I'm not much for self-help books and the like, everything I've heard about it is all really good praise.
