I recently saw a documentary called "Happy", which was very interesting. And as you know, happiness is really in my field of interest!
The film shared the latest research on why and how people become happy and that these particular people in particular circumstances have been happier.
Be a coach of twelve (12) years, the results do not scare me, but simply stated what I believe to be true from what I have personally seen in recent years, not only with coaching clients, but the people I met through two countries come from different socio-economic backgrounds.
Inevitably, the results showed that those who had the financial and material wealth were at least happier, but as a precondition for this is that they have strong links in one direction and / or another whatsoever wether the result of family, relatives and / or strong ties within the community.
Regarding the people who seemed to "do everything" rings true ancient tale the most sought after and more you spend in this case, rather than reaching them happy, then more time to make them happy once more .
Verily, those who were most happy have a good appreciation and gratitude for what they had in their lives and brought joy to daily events and experiences. For example, they could be things like wanting to see their children waiting to get home from work, meeting with members of the community every day, and look forward to spending time with their extended family. Although this research tells us many things, try to remember that even in the most difficult and poor can find happiness.
So sometimes being unhappy is also immune to the violence that we see on television every day. The more you look at the violence, often the most ignorant and insensitive it can be sometimes to get to that point where you do not realize in time the film more. So what does that mean? Well, violence is still there, but we do not notice ... and things to be happy in our lives are still there but we no longer see.
And what about happiness through the acquisition of property? Often we buy new things, and want essential for us, who can become so routine that we forget we are lucky and fortunate to still be able to buy these things in our lives. Do not get me wrong, for those who can afford these luxuries of life that you have worked hard to be in this position, but it may also be true that compared to men and women from countries in other countries perhaps had what is considered a dream start to life. Perspective is what I mean, and asking to see these things and have a knowledge of these things when you're feeling low or things go wrong all the time. Because in reality things are probably just go wrong at this moment for you. And it's a long way from "not going all the time."
I often think that happiness in life is a matter of point of view and perspective is the fact that in most cases, a key thing that people forget to remember when things are not going so well. Or is it the prospect to remember that even if things around you may be falling apart, you still have a roof over your head and food on the table. This is put in the shoes of others and realize that things could be worse! Now, do not think that thought too long, however, it is sufficient to take away from what things could be worse, and they are not! You've all heard or seen situations where people are forced to work under extreme conditions and many children who should be in school must work to survive. Is it still too soon to make us believe that happiness starts at home, with the things of every day and not in a constant state of desire that we have not yet? And indeed, by its power and ability to begin to appreciate what we have right now. And it is encouraging to know that if you start doing it today, you attract more of these great experiences themselves?
We have much to be happy in life and of course in the world that most of us live Whatever your situation, I'm sure you can find something to be thankful and happy because even if n is only momentarily. In fact, one of the easiest ways to start generating more happiness in your life is to start looking for something fun every day. This is particularly useful if you think that I can not really find anything in your life to be happy. Just watch videos or read funny jokes, increase the happiness you feel in your body and mind every day and you might be surprised at how this opens a happier experience in the world around you as the week progresses. If you leave your house with a smile, I guarantee you that someone will see their smile and smile and I also started a domino effect in your city to share a smile. It's like a domino effect and who knows how many people who smile of yours will affect the world around you today.
You can not be on the receiving end of one of these domino smile today that someone else has started! So smile, think of something happy or make a video or a picture in your mind of something that would make very happy.
Now, retrieval, happy, have shown that the influence of various aspects of people's happiness can be divided into three (3) components:
50% can be attributed to genetics happiness
10% attributed to material wealth and
Whopping 40% can be attributed to individual decisions we make
There was a story I read some time ago that made me pause and think, and that was:
"I cried because I had no shoes ... but I met a man who had no feet"
So I ask you, what will you choose to spend your 40% choices thinking or doing today that will contribute to greater happiness for tomorrow ..
