Friends,
We
all want to be happy, nothing wrong with that. When we are
happy, we experience cheerfulness, positivity and an upbeat
mood. Happiness is one of the most pleasant emotions a person
can have. We feel energy and we feel hope. So how can
we create this feeling more for ourselves?
The
tricky part is that unfortunately, happiness
doesn’t work well as a goal. People whose focus and
goal in life is to be happy, often find that over time, they can’t
stay happy. Think about these two categories of people who want
to feel good all the time as their main focus: 2 years olds and addicts. Their
internal systems are constantly craving the happiness
experience, and their lives aren’t great models for how to live in
the adult world.
The
reality is that happiness
is a much better byproduct than it is a goal. It is
the result of other activities that provide a better life. It’s
a little like weight loss. There is a ton of research that says we
should weigh ourselves less frequently, and just concentrate on
eating right and working out, and the weight will drop. The
weight loss is the outcome of the right life activities. So here
are some of the best “happiness-producing” skills in my latest blog!
Best,
John
