The relatively new field of positive psychology has captured the interest of researchers and the publicbecause of the potential benefits from its interventions. Continuously generating evidence that supportsthe advantages of positive psychology concepts is vital to the longstanding establishment of the field.Flow, hope, and mindfulness have been studied individually and have been found to be advantageous;however, these three concepts have yet to be comparatively researched in academic settings. Flow,hope, and mindfulness were measured to determine relationships to student success, which was definedfor this study’s purpose as happiness, GPA, and social relationships. The sample consisted of CaliforniaState University, Stanislaus’ students and data was obtained via self-reported responses to pre-established surveys developed to measure the variables. Correlation, multiple regression, andmediation were tested between all variables. It was found that flow, mindfulness, and hope werepositively correlated to happiness; however, hope mediated the relationships between both flow andmindfulness to happiness and accounted for over one-third of the variance in happiness. Additionally,it was found that flow and hope were positively correlated with social relationships; however, hopemediated the relationship between flow and social relationships. Lastly, it was found that GPA was notrelated to any variable. These results suggest that experiencing more hope may greatly benefit people.Future research could further investigate the role hope (and other similar concepts such as optimismand expectations) plays in people’s lives. As compared to mindfulness and flow, researching andemploying positive psychological interventions to increase hope would likely be the mostadvantageous. Potentially, these findings could be used for personal benefit as well as positivelyinfluencing others

ResultsIt was expected that flow, mindfulness, andhope would be positively correlated tohappiness, social relationships, and GPA. Inother words, students who reported greaterexperience of flow, mindfulness, and hope wouldbe happier, have a better quality of socialrelationships, and have a higher GPA.Through correlational analyses, it was foundthat flow, mindfulness, and hope weresignificantly and positively correlated withhappiness (Table 1). When flow, mindfulness,and hope were input into a multiple regressionequation, they accounted for 39% of the totalvariance in happiness, F (3, 118) = 25.23, p < .01;however, only hope remained a significantpredictor. It was found that controlling for hopereduced the relationship between mindfulnessand happiness from R (126) = .30, p < .01, to R(118) = .11, p = .16. A Sobel test revealed that therelationship between mindfulness and happinesswas fully mediated by hope, z = 3.23, p < .01.Similarly, it was found that controlling for hopereduced the relationship between flow andhappiness from R (124) = .35, p < .01, to R (120)= .07, p = .37. Again, a Sobel test revealed thatthe relationship between flow and happiness wasfully mediated by hope, z = 4.74, p < .01.Through further correlational analyses, itwas found that flow and hope were significantlyand positively correlated with socialrelationships, although mindfulness was not(Table 2). When flow and hope were entered intoa multiple regression equation, they accountedfor 22% of the total variance in socialrelationships, F (2, 120) = 17.03, p < .01;however, only hope remained a significantpredictor. It was found that controlling for hopereduced the relationship between flow and socialrelationships from R (124) = .30, p < .01, to R(120) = .13, p = .15. As before, a Sobel testrevealed that the relationship between flow andsocial relationships was fully mediated by hope,z = 4.06, p < .01.Lastly, correlational analyses revealed thatneither flow, mindfulness, nor hope weresignificantly correlated with GPA (Table 3)

Positive thinking is an emotional and mental attitude focusing on the good and expecting the type of results that will benefit one. It’s about anticipating happiness, health and success instead of expecting the worst.  This is leveraging mindset that creates a positive feedback loop capable of bringing even better good into one’s life. Positive thinking is not a cure-all that one will automatically make their lives happier and more fulfilled. It is not a solution to deep-seated limiting beliefs like fear of failure and fear of success. Positive thinking does not mean sitting around all day telling one’s self how happy he or she is. Rather positive thinking is a tool in one’s toolkit and many others one needs to succeed.  To achieve one’s dreams, one requires more than a positive mindset. One ought to act ultimately, building a fulfilling life is about controlling ones positive and negative emotions. To fully embrace not only the power of positive thinking but also the improbable power of one’s mindset, one must take responsibility on how one thinks, acts and feels in their internal locus of  self control  and this  a key trait of successful people. This type of thinking lends one a deep belief in one’s self and mind.  After the only thing in life one can control is themselves. One cannot control every event in their lives yet one can control how they react to themselves. Every must take pride on how they present themselves. People usually work on their posture to give those around them some  nonverbal cues that they are feeling strong and positive and that they are ready to listen and hear them. Jim and Tony Robbins argue that one should stand guard at the door of their mind, and s/he alone should decide on what type of thoughts and beliefs ought to enter into their lives. Positive thinking can change one’s life completely. It is a proven fact that positive thinking renders one’s life longer. It reduces loneliness and boredom and it also unleashes one’s full potential.                                         (Adopted by the Author of this CAT From: Robbins.T.( 2022                      https://www.upwvirtual.com/march-2022: retrieved on: 12/03/2022)   As used in the context the vocabulary loop   means-----------------      Select one:a.Slenderedb.Willowyc.Squaredd.Hoop
