Right now I
am with my family and friends at Mallorca. With my computer I am located at the
terrass of a beautiful house that we have rented together with two other
families. The house and the location over delivered towards all our
expectations. The owner of the house even said himself that many guests before
us had said to him that the pictures of the house did not live up to the
performance of the house.
Even though
the weather has been quite bad, comparing to the expectations we had when
booking a trip to sunny Mallorca, the whole experience is great.
Depending
on long term and short term satisfaction I think that all of us at this trip
will talk about how great it was for all our lives. Could it be a combination
between that we put a lot of effort, money, planning, longing and other high
expectations into this, and that a trip with close friends give so much back in
terms of positive emotions? We all want this trip to be great and therefore we
all exert ourselves a little bit more to live up to all expectations.
Soon making a trip to a white sanded beach

Wonderfully with Mallorca ! I absolutely believe that we can feel more satisfied if we really want something to be fantastic . A holiday trip is really a good example !

SvaraRaderaI absolutely agree, our own subjective wellbeing in terms of ; “how do I really think about this experience/trip”, is very much steered by our own choices . Thus if you all are having a great time, you somewhat choose to ignore the bad weather and still enjoy all other great aspects of being abroad with family and friends. I also believe that the group dynamics plays an important role, if someone with in the group is a “whiner”, this would probably affect the rest of the group negatively.
SvaraRaderaHave a great time on Mallorca and happy w-end!
Nice to hear that you have a good time in Mallorca!
SvaraRaderaOf course the positive feeling being with your loving family and friends adds on to the positive feeling and wellbeing and it´s easier to forget about bad weather etc. It should for example have been easier for you to be less satisfied with the trip it you for example had some kind of quarrel within the family - then the mood probably have changed drastically...
Also agree with Camilla Lunds comment - the group dynamics play an important role and if someone in the group is a “whiner” this probably affect the rest of the group negatively. But then it´s important that you have people with positive attitude that builds the spirit up! What I usually say – a positive attitude takes you far!
