Happiness Key

Happiness Key is a post from: Healthy Life

Here, I’d like to introduce you to a happiness creation process I developed from many years of observation, case studies, and happiness research.

In my happiness research I found that women are happy at least part of the time, but often dismiss their good feelings as just a blip on the ‘radar screen of life’. They also frequently lose their “good mood” as soon as someone criticizes or puts them down.

I began to realize that becoming, and staying happy requires a habit that can practiced and improved upon, and I developed a model called “The Enchanted Self” that shows how we can improve our happiness using something I call “Recipes for Enchantment.”

def. The Enchanted Self – the capacity to initiate positive states of being unique to our disposition and talents.

def. Recipes for Enchantment – the ways we’ve found to create happiness for ourselves that are unique to us.

The Enchanted Self is something you control, and you do it using “Recipes for Enchantment” that are unique to you.

Although there are many “Recipes for Enchantment” that most of us have in common, it’s important to remember that you are unique, and what makes you happy isn’t necessarily going to be the same as for the other people in your life. YOU are the “secret ingredient” in the recipe for creating your own happiness. As such, you must discover the unique things that enhance your happiness.

Here’s a “recipe” for discovering some of the unique things that make you happy…

Exercise: Recipe for Personal Pleasure

Give yourself a quiet space, a pad of paper and a pen, and permission to daydream. The world is your oyster. Plan out a day that is designed to make you happy.

- What would that day be like and what would you do?

- Where would you go?

- Who would be with you, if anyone?

- What would you see?

- How would you feel?

- What would you eat that day?

- What are some of the aromas that would please you that day?

- What would be the highlight of the day?

- How would you feel at the end of the day?

- Now you’re looking back on that day.

- What would you be most pleased about?

- What are some of the ingredients you would need to make this day come true?

- What are three steps YOU need to take to get closer to experiencing a pleasing time right now? [Remember YOU are the main ingredient. ]

Fill a Bucket: A Guide to Daily Happiness for the Young Child

Fill a Bucket: A Guide to Daily Happiness for the Young Child is a post from: Healthy Life

Nobody will ever bring you complete happiness, think about what will happen if they leave you or are taken from this earth, where will your happiness be then. If you’re waiting for something to happen such as that promotion you’ve always wanted or when you’re working less hours then happiness will never come.

If your happiness is dependent on a goal and you achieve it, you’ll either set a new goal (at which point your future happiness will be transfered to this new goal) or you’ll feel there’s nothing more to be achieved which after the initial elation has worn off usually results in an empty feeling inside instead of the happiness you expected.

One of the best ways to increase your level of happiness in life is to change your habits to those similar to a happy person.

95% of what humans do is habitual. From the side of bed you get out of, the route you take to work every day, the way you clean your teeth and the myriad of other things you do in day to day life, they’re all habitual. We are quite literally creatures of habit.

With this in mind it’s fair to say that our habitual routines dictate our consistent emotional states. If on a regular basis you perceive yourself to be doing things that make you unhappy then you’ll be unhappy.

If on the other hand you perceive yourself to be doing things on a regular basis that make you happy then you’ll be a much happier person. In order to do this you must break the old habitual pattern and replace them with more positive ones.

Achieving this will take a bit of work at first as you must consciously decide what your going to do and put it into action. I want to emphasize the word ‘consciously’ as this is contradictory to a habit.

As a rough guide it takes about 30 days of consciously performing the desired action to turn it into a habit. With a little effort for 30 days you’ll be surprised at how much of a difference this will make to you life.

Decide to be happy, appreciate all of the good things in your life, no day is ever 100% good or bad so if you spend your days thinking about the good in your life you’re bound to feel happier

For the next 30 days every time you find yourself grumbling about circumstances out of your control or putting yourself down stop and think about what you’ve just said to yourself, replace it with something more positive and carry on with what ever you were doing. Make it a habit to feel good.

Don’t wait for happiness to come to you. Be happy NOW!

Who Else Wants To Make Happiness A Habit? is a post from: Healthy Life

What gets us happiness? We get happiness by doing what we like. We do not get happiness by forcing us to do what we do not want to do. Our happiness comes from our satisfaction of doing our heart felt desires. Our contentment comes from that. Money can destroy friendships, and break family relations. The more money you have, the more people expect from you. If you refuse, your relationship goes downhill. Sometimes I wonder if we have more than our minimum requirement of money, will we be happy at all?

If you have a giving nature, money can buy you happiness of a different kind. When you visit an orphanage, and are able to donate as much as they want to feed the small kids, you will feel a sense of genuine happiness. Money can make you do good things in life that make others happy. When you make others happy, you become happy.
Money can help you do that. No expensive dinner can make you feel as happy as the smile on the face of parents to whom you have given money for their childrens medicine.

Quiz – Can Money Buy Happiness? is a post from: Healthy Life

A person who is able to get a manager position might still be unhappy and he may apply again for a higher position. However, a secretary whose pay is just enough for her family’s cost might be happy and love her job.

As a human, everyone has a choice. It is a privilege that is entitled to every person. One of the choices that are very important to choose is being happy. Yes, it is a choice!

Research studies have proven that attaining awareness would lead to happiness. Being aware of the things that you like, and knowing your priorities and goals, are factors that can make you happy. A person who does not know what he wants in life may not be very happy.

Here are some tips on finding happiness:

1. Appreciate Blessings. Being aware of the importance of things within an individual’s life plays an important part in becoming happy. An example is thinking that having a car is a blessing. It is important because it can give a sense of freedom on time at work. There is no need to worry for missing the service bus and wait for hours to ride a public bus.

2. Do some repainting at home. Shades of orange and yellow brings an aura of happiness as compared to dark shades of blue.

3. Be appreciative. Appreciating everything that is in life can bring contentment. Attaining contentment is happiness.

4. Write a self-improvement list. Make sure that the things that are on the list will give satisfaction within.

5. Be positive. Remember that good habits attract good things.

6. Listing down the things that trigger bad mood is a good habit. This way, things that might come on the way that can trigger bad mood can be reversed.

7. Find someone to talk to. Release bad feelings. A trusted friend can help release your bad feelings by sharing those bad feelings with him.

8. Try to eat something when feeling bad. Sometimes, being satisfied with the food you eat helps in releasing stress and bad mood.

9. Do not worry about outcomes. Stressing yourself in doing something that is not there usually drives the feeling of being anxious and depress.

10. Be motivated. Motivating yourself to think positively will result to being happy.

11. Be with friends. Being with friends will help in reducing your stress and provides interaction with others.

12. Write essays. This good therapy could release negative moods. It can also relief stress.

13. Go outing. Taking your family to the beach every weekend and playing beach volleyball will help in getting the right mood and having a good start in life.

A person who knows how to appreciate the things that surround him finds greater meaning and purpose in life, which leads to true happiness.

Pleasurable things need not to be expensive. Sometimes, the more expensive things are, the more they loose their value to bring happiness. Material things usually have limited contribution on a person’s happiness.

Learn How You Can Find Happiness is a post from: Healthy Life

Happiness is a choice and a state of mind.

You can choose to be happy or you can choose to be sad. Here we will give you some simple tips on how to be happy and get more from life.

1. Understand life is not perfect

We all know that life is not always going to make us happy, it’s going to make us sad and we will face periods where we feel hard done by.

The attitude you need is to take is the positive from everything.

Keep in mind that sometimes you may feel hard done by, but consider other people who are much worse off than you and believe me there are billions.

2. Don’t bear grudges

Many people bear grudges that stop them being happy.

It doesn’t matter who the grudge is against an ex partner or business colleague – You need to move in.

Many people use a bad experience as an excuse not to be happy “it’s all their fault” is a common quote you hear from many people.

Bearing grudges is a waste of energy and simply makes people bitter.

Learn to move on and put it out of your mind.

3. Love others and express thanks.

Express your affection, love, appreciation, friendship, warmth and sincerity to all those you come into contact with.

By doing this you will probably get a positive response from most people in return.

Many doors could be opened to you in terms of opportunities such as, in your work or maybe even in your love life.

4. Work enjoy it.

You spend a huge amount of time at work, so make sure you do something you enjoy.

If you do not enjoy your work your overall happiness will suffer.

If you are in a job you don’t like, make a plan to get into one that you do.

5. Be Healthy.

If you want to be happy then you need to enjoy your body.

A healthy body leads to healthy mind, make sure you keep it in good condition eat sensibly and exercise.

If you do, you will feel invigorated, full of energy and avoid disease and illness.

6. Do things you really want to do

Of course, we can’t do everything we want to do in life, but you can do at least some things.

Make me time.

Do something that you really want to do that gives you a sense of achievement or makes you happy.

It doesn’t matter what it is – maybe running a marathon, or learning to play the guitar – It really doesn’t matter, so long as it is something you want to do.

7. Plan your life

People who have plans and objectives in life seem to be happier than those who don’t.

Why?

Simply because they get more out of life, as they plan their time better.

They do more achieve more and are generally happier.

Life is what you make it

This is a true statement.

You can choose to be happy, or you can choose to be depressed – Happiness is a state of mind and we can all be happy if we want to and following the above tips will help you.

Cyanide and Happiness

Cyanide and Happiness is a post from: Healthy Life

What are they??

Answer:TRUTH AND REALITY

You know these words that bring the true happiness to you. But at the same time you are confused and search for happiness all the time. Before we proceed further, let us clear from our mind that true happiness is different from having comfortable life. You can be happy, even if you are not a millionaire. You can be unhappy even if you are a millionaire. Luxury cars, huge bungalows, lavish life style have nothing to do with true happiness. Those having all these still lack true happiness. Those lacking all these too are unhappy. Remember, any thing that can be purchased with money never brings true happiness. Then, what are those three words, that can bring true happiness to those who have every conceivable comfort and those who do not have these comforts? TRUTH: Adherence to truth brings us real happiness. Truth is different from what we perceive. Unless, we search our inner self, we never realize the truth. The truth is, that we are born with a mission. The truth is that our life is short and we must elevate ourselves to a better life, after our death by being truthful through out our lives. We must do things that please our heart. We should never lie, because others are lying. We should care for the long term gains, than the short term comforts. The truth is, what ever good deeds or bad deeds we do in this life time, go with us even after we die. What ever sins, we commit never leave us even after our death. What ever good deeds we do too never leave us after our death. All the good deeds are credited to your account and all the bad deeds are debited to our account. We can not hide bad deeds, from the omni present. If our good deeds out weigh our bad deeds, we are rewarded to that extent. If our bad deeds out weigh good deeds, we cannot escape the punishment. We suffer in the next lives. Only when we realize the purpose of life and lead a truthful life, our soul will merge with the almighty and we have no rebirth. Money is not truth. Money is mans creation to feed comforts and confuse us. Money feeds desires and takes us away from the truth. Money makes us believe that this life is for enjoyment of luxuries and nothing else. Money feeds our desires and distances us from truth. If you realize this truth, you will not chase money. You will always chase truth and get rewarded. Those who adhere to truth are always happy. REALITY:: Unless we realize the truth, reality will be different from the actual reality for us. In reality, we need not see mirages and chase them. we must see the reality, realize the purpose of our life and lead a life that is of enrichment. We must try to taste the eternal happiness. Eternal happiness comes to you only, if you are detached from things that are confusing and take the path of righteousness. Reality requires us to go on the right path always. Once we realize the true essence of reality, we will not run after money but chase good things. Compassion to others, detachment from things that are not needed by us in real sense, helping others, not hurting others by our words, actions or deeds brings us the true happiness. A truly happy man earns to live and survive and not live to earn. He knows that all the money, all the luxuries cannot go with him to the other world. Even the body, which he cares lovingly during his life time, will vanish into the earth. What survives is the soul after the death. Once we realize this truth, we will realize the futility of chasing things that go with us for some time only and not always.

So let us realize what is the truth and reality, different from what we perceive as truth and reality. Let us lead life with wants to the minimum. Let us pursue, a life that adds and enriches our next life. Let us not live in the past and spoil our future, and after our death. Let us not get confused by the desires, that only want us to distance us from the truth and reality. Let our thoughts, actions, deeds and words pass the test of truth and reality. What ever modernism achieved, can not stop our death and the life there after. Hence, let us live by truth and reality and realize the mission, for which we are born into this world.
