Accelerated in the direction of happiness

Many people cause skeptical smirk or just annoying phrases like: "You can choose to be happy." In their arsenal are many denials just as it is difficult, almost impossible to actually implement, and that if it were that simple, unhappy people it had not been.

However, this is partly the case. The only difference is that we make the choice not once, but over time, accumulating a certain direction of thought, reactions and conclusions. We measure our lives and all of its contents comparative adjectives and ongoing evaluative perception of everything that happens.

It


Recent studies of the University of California in happiness as a natural condition of human nature, say that happiness - a component category, and accommodates multiple components in different proportions

. As a result, happiness is:

In 10% of the life circumstances, which includes favorites your education or lack of it, you have selected the work environment, location, etc.

50% - genetic or programmable "control point" - the extent to which you can be happy depends on how you are "programmed"

. And 40% of your happiness depends on how much you exert your efforts, how to be or make yourself happy. The extent to which you choose to be happy.

Is not it true, we believe in a very different percentage. On the basis of comprehensive studies in brain and fixing them our reactions, sensations, preferences, status "force majeure" make our lives in the order of 10 at most - 20%. All the rest - the fruit of our own "works". And if we assume that these conclusions are valid, and the percentage error is small, it is fair to argue that it depends on us, at least half.

Allow me to offer you a completely simple and effective ways - that deservedly be called "accelerators" - quickly elevate mood and healthy production of endorphins. If we exercise in respect of themselves a little more respect and attention, we immediately find a few more points, sets us on a positive wave. What is called - there is a will ... choose their companions in happiness. Do not be confused by their simplicity.

The secret is that it is the little things make the emotional scope of our lives, if they are nice - you fill pleasant emotions and your vitality increased. The more you fill your life with pleasant trifles, the more accustom yourself to notice them, to feel, to appreciate, to be for them grateful, allowing them to yourself, the longer will become the spectrum of gray shades of life, displaced by a color palette that we even scare began recently because we have become accustomed to the gray tones and its derivatives.

We used to believe that happiness - it's something big, sudden, certainly somewhere one day falling on us. Do not drive his nose. Happiness is a warm thought is easily created, if we so wish. It is not measured, has no borders, the beginning and the end, as we used to characterize it.

Happiness - it either is or it is not. Of course, you can patiently wait for his life, and maybe one day it is still "fall." But where is the guarantee that it is without giving you all their immense weight (in fact you are expecting certainly great)? Is not it easier to create it in homeopathic doses with cumulative effect of improving the impact of the entire body of your life?

I do not want to disappoint you in your idea of ​​happiness in life, but, in fact, easy to build and also easy for them to be filled. Even a few minutes of happiness are able to charge you for the whole day. So why not work consciously for it?

If you still prefer to wait for something big, sudden and edinomomentnogo, even small daily efforts you will not accomplish. But if you prefer to do something to do for happiness just did in your life, not giving him estimates and characteristics, you find next to his presence quickly, and soon the inside of you. Here is a short list of simple "accelerator" of happiness. And if you think you will find as much as their personal effective means.

Pleasant smells

Good smells, smells that you like, able to influence beneficial to your emotional state and change your mood in a positive way, or simply improve it. A recent study in the field of odor impact on human showed that the people on whom smelled were calmer, less anxious and more positive than those from whom no smell or smell unpleasant, whether felt they themselves or not.

Also, the creation of a pleasant smell in the house markedly improved emotional state, and sometimes even physical well-being. Everyone has their own preferences, even seen the effect of the same smells on different nationalities in different ways. Therefore, find "their" pleasant aromas and, if possible, create a special atmosphere.

Drink coffee ... with sun ray

People who have received even a small portion of the natural world, especially in the morning, start the day with a good mood and better sleep. Enjoy a cup of morning coffee by the window. Daylight plays an essential role in our well-being and emotional component. Try as much as possible in contact with the living daylight, especially if most of your daily life takes place indoors. Consciously in contact with natural light, even when overcast, - our daytime wakefulness is directly related to the daily part of the day, and biologically, emotionally and mentally

. Cleaning

Yes, many do not like this process. But svezhenavedennaya purity pleases almost everyone. Moreover, the process of cleaning and pointing of cleanliness extremely useful process, harmonizing the mood and boost our positive tone.

Therefore, if you are angry, depressed, resentful, unhappy, rather than to indulge in self-oblivion of negative sentiment - Clean the house. This is not only useful, but also an effective lesson.



Give you a sense of happiness and good habits will help

For example:

Do not skimp on the sweet words and gratitude.

Look for the same and the positive side in everything, what with no less ease you find negative.

Learn to think positively and to dream with the same ease and faith, with which you did as a child.

Engage in something new (dance, gym, drawing, photography, sewing classes, to which feel gravity).

Take time to read.

Limit TV viewing and stay at your computer or other devaysa.

Train yourself by day to pause and to devote at least a few seconds to themselves, their feelings and warm thoughts.

Celebrate good quality and dignity of other people. Talk to them about it. Do not focus only on what annoys you.

Make small little presents given without reason.

Try often walk in the fresh air and periodically selected away from the city and bustle.

Stop worry endlessly about everything. If you can not change the situation, and work hard to change their attitude to it and and painful reaction.

If you can change something, change. Be productive and in the details, it will fill up your power supply and back satisfaction.

Rejoice in detail and learn to notice them.

Change chto-nibud in their lives (rearrange the furniture, throw the old stuff, zateyte repair, roll just like smoking, get a pet, meet new interesting people - whatever), but start with the fact that you have quite a force and can bring joy. Actions aimed at the creation, always replenish us happy feelings and tidal forces.

But most importantly - decide whether you really want to be happy, and then do something about this all the time, or you are quite satisfied with the expectation of the ghost of happiness from the outside, without your efforts, but then you should be prepared that it can permanently linger on the way to you.
