Multiple concepts that define happiness
Happiness is sometimes measured by good and bad moments, thus being a direct relationship with being happy, and in reality this concept extends even more, deepening the idea of being in the way of what is considered correct and is related to the inner peace. Thus, a process of action and decision being happy depending entirely on the individual of their own. Happiness is contemplated with a sense of responsibility and awareness involving all aspects of life.
There are multiple decisions of the concept of happiness, being one of them: "Experience of joy, satisfaction or positive well -being, combined with the feeling that our life is good, makes sense and worth it" Lyubomirsky (2008: 48), sometimes The idea of the happiness of possessing what the neighbor has, when in reality it can be defined with the concept of sensation of serenity before the certainty of the correct elections, being a questioning and answer of their own and found only in oneself and not only in oneself can be The goods that are ever had to have possessed them and that in the hands or property of others have not guaranteed happiness
Happiness is a state of interior realization, not the fulfillment of unlimited desires that point outwards. We commit the awkwardness of seeking happiness outside us, when it is essentially an inner state. Ricard, Matthieu (2005): In defense of happiness. Barcelona: Uranus.
Here the questioning of how to know the choice of a correct choice arises, starting with a personal search and response. Likewise, the idea of happiness happens or exists due to the conception of a commitment to life itself, not being able to be shared by its personale character, being lived more not transferred, since we can participate to other of the events that make us HAPPY, MORE NOT MAKE THEM FULLED THIS EXPERIENCE.
Now, it is possible to show the happiness that has been achieved, how you live and share some things of this idea, however, the true challenge is to live authentically, living beyond the expectations of others, although it is a clear way of perceiving from another perspective, but do not fully define their own characteristics.
The understanding base of happiness is to know itself, a clear conception that is not the same shown by oneself by so many times in defense of avoiding an authentic and own figure and thus please not feeling happy, even so, even so, housing the hope of having someone to be able to show themselves as is.
Where could enough leather be found to cover the surface of the earth? But with just the leather of the sole of my shoes, it is as if the whole earth was covered with it.
It is not also possible to control external phenomena. But if the mind itself is controlled, is there anything else to control? Shantideva (s. VIII)
The dilemmas of happiness tend to be present in the search for this understanding, housing some main situations such as knowing if happiness is present or future and understanding that it is something to live at the present time, clarify whether you live exterior or interior To define that it is something inner, since it is its own and the external factors should not depend, and know if it is punctual or permanent would make us doubt whether it is a transitory state or an already definitive fact, and in this way a constant growth can be achieved of the same feeling. Sometimes it can reflect a danger by becoming a slave to a wrong concept of happiness, and because of that need to understand it, it would lead us to look for it where it is not.
An act at your own will is to work in each personality variable, thus improving our ways of thinking, feeling and acting to achieve a more satisfactory life.
We can find three types of defining happiness, in these different ways the people who declare themselves most satisfied are those who guide their lives towards the three, emphasizing especially in committed life and significant life. They are also a reference continuum all of oneself and not three closed compartments with precise limits. These are three levels that are included to each other.
The exterior that is a pleasant life is about finding happiness in the outside world based on positive sensations and emotions and momentary pleasures and dependent on external circumstances.
The interior being of a compromised life is to find happiness from our own interior, putting our personal strengths into play, many of these activities give us the possibility of “flowing”, and although they are not always associated with pleasure: they can imply effort or suffering , but they are globally rewarding; In this way they provide a more or less permanent sensation of well -being understood as a "background happiness".
The meaning in life or significant life consists of having a deep motivation that gives meaning to our life, allows us The family, the community, politics, justice, a spiritual ideal, derived activities provide a more or less permanent sensation of well -being.
Is it possible to educate for happiness? If so, do we really live at the present time?
One of the ways to do so would be the technique of full attention (mindfulness) that seeks to create a permanent attitude of consciousness and calm and thus live fully the present, aiming to unmask automatisms and promote change and improvement in our life.
The sought effects are to increase concentration, reduce automatisms, better control of thoughts, emotions and behaviors, learn to enjoy the present and achieve changes at the neurobiological level.
Some methods used have been breathing -based meditation, meditation walking and attention in everyday life.
