“hapiness”
Health article & self help books resource for lifetime health & fitness

What is life about? Being happy of course!

Lifelong happiness – starting right now.

If it feels like the world is beating you up and there is not enough happiness in your life – or you are just too exhausted to feel happy - read on.

This may be hard to believe, and you most likely won’t want to believe it but…..You ARE HAPPY – right now, you just don’t know it or simply don’t know how to tap into that deep down undercurrent of pure Joy and Pleasure that is flowing through you right now.

Your level of happiness and contentment all depends on what you define as “being happy” and what it “takes” to make you feel happy in your world. If you let life’s events totally distract you from your "natural" state of happiness, or you have created so many criteria to fill that narrows down your chances to let happiness surface to your emotional attention you are doomed to a state of dissatisfaction.

Especially when you are in a genuine slump, or seduced by the emotion of depression, you need to draw on every self help resource you have available to pull your attention away from what is “wrong” in your life and magnetically pull your emotional attention toward what is already “right” in your life. Develop appreciation of the good you desire and already have.

The choice to take action or not to take action is up to you.

Feel Happy!

You might look at the following strategy and think "Oh No! Not more of this simplistic - quick fix - nonsense". Please don't discard this powerful concept just because it is so SIMPLE.

Simple doesn't always mean EASY. You have to apply yourself - consistentlly - with a genuine desire to improve your emotional wellbeing, THEN you will get powerful results.

Go on - Try this straightforward self help exercise – answer the questions and notice how you feel when you think about the answers……

“What am I most enjoying in my life right now?”
(as Tony says, don’t say “nothing!” Instead ask yourself “If I could be enjoying something in my life right now, what would that be?”)

Then ask yourself:
“What about that do I enjoy?”

Then ask yourself:
“How does that make me feel?”

Then next ask yourself:
< “What am I most happy about in my life right now?”

Then ask yourself:
< “What about that makes me feel happy?”

Notice how your emotions react to the experience of dwelling or thinking about the good and sweet things in your life. If you like the feeling and want more of it, just keep asking yourself the right questions.

Any self help tool, no matter how powerful, only works when you work it.

Also sometimes the “essence” of certain events or tangible things can be more important to how we feel than actually having more of exactly the same thing.

You don’t need to own a horse to ride one. You especially don’t need 6 horses to ride for the same experience that riding one can give you. You don’t have to own a countryside retreat to have a picnic in the countryside. You don’t even have to own a Ferrari to drive one.

There are many ways available to get the essence of what you want, that makes you feel happy. More self help on that later….

When you start each day asking yourself questions that generate a feeling of pleasure, excitement, enthusiasm, just by the act of answering them, your day gets off on the right path.

Try designing self help questions that suit your life or interests, maybe straightforward ones like

What am I excited about in my life now?

What am I grateful about in my life now?

What am I most looking forward to in my life today?

You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to apply this self help strategy, do you? All you need is the DESIRE to improve your day and then make the commitment to actually APPLY it every morning for at least 30 days. It will work.

More self help strategies are outlined in the general categories on the navbar. We have had to break up the sheer volume of self help resources into some general self help categories to simplify the search for resources relevant to your self help needs and to save you time when you download the pages to view.

You will no doubt “fit the bill” for at least 3 categories, so dip into all or as many of the categories as suits you at any given time. You might be a stressed out single person, who is also a parent or prime caregiver, who has a career or enterprise to manage – but today your question is how to be happier in your role as a Parent.

Tomorrow it might be checking out self help strategies as a single person with issues relating to the fact you are “flying solo” in life. And so on….

Be Flexible:

Rest your frayed nerves and tired body

Before you do anything else about developing further happiness in your life, check on how much restful sleep you are getting. Lack of sleep = leads to = exhaustion = which leads to = depression.

If you feel sad or unhappy, first ask if you have had enough restful sleep. (Don’t you dare laugh at me for even suggesting the very thought of enough sleep). The fact is that you simply can’t expect to be bouncing off the walls with energy, enthusiasm and sheer joy for life if you can barely put one foot in front of the other and don’t dare to sit down in case you fall asleep.

Restful sleep is a non-negotiable self help priority if you truly desire happiness in your life. Recognize that you must re-arrange your life, work, responsibilities, socializing to allow for you to get adequate sleep.

No strategy in the world will work for long to make your life happier if you are chronically exhausted. End of story.

Get creative, there is a way for you to be rested and happy.

And before you go to sleep ask yourself questions to calm your mind and spirit and appreciate something wonderful about the day you have just had, like:

"What was the most beautiful thing I saw today?"Or have a picture and emotion that you dwell on before you sleep, that relaxes you enough to stop distracting thoughts from keeping you awake. More self help on this later…
