What are some things people get into or believe in because they think it’ll make their life better or make them feel better?

I'm into giving the BSers BS. That definitely makes me feel better. .

I would never fall for anything like that. I invested my life savings in John Olinger's time machine company. I'm gonna be rich!

I occasionally practice meditation and mindfulness. I feel it clears my mind which is a bonus for an overthinker like me.

I only believe in healthy living 😀

Why am I here ? 🧐

I tried AA for about a year and a half before I discovered that they were pretty much a cult. I left them, but I've still been sober for almost 13 years.

Most people around here believe that moving abroad will make their life miraculously better. Do I believe that for myself? No. I think it will just bring different kinds of problems. And yet...sometimes I think it's the only solution.

No, not really into those. Nor will I invest into bitcoins. Mementoes are different though. Wearing a bracelet or having crystals that were given, etc.

At ONE point in my life, I adopted "Feng Shui". (Interior decoration as a form of spiritual improvement and protection). It used to drive the ex NUTS.

HE decided that Feng Shui was a form of witchcraft in his tiny little mind, (his mother probably convinced him of it), and he refused adamantly to cut down the dead apple tree in our front half acre. (In Feng Shui, a dead tree in the front yard is bad).

Basically, though, Feng Shui is Chinese superstition.

I CAN say that SOME of the decorating principles make your rooms feel clean and BRIGHT!
