In fact there is no definite definition of happiness. The meaning and interpretation of happiness is different for different people. Still I would say, Happiness is one of the greatest resourceful state of our mind , characterized by feelings of joy, satisfaction and fulfilment. It is the balance of emotions. Our mind wanders from resourceful state to unresourceful state and vice versa. When our mind is in resourceful state we feel happiness. If we can keep our mind in resourceful state we can spend most of our time happily. Most of us are trying to find happiness from the outer world. This is the main reason why our happiness disappeared. The outside world can give you the happiness for few moments, never more than that. Your happiness will disappear immediately when your external environment and situation disappears. Happiness will last a lifetime only if we can edify our mind beautifully and create a happy atmosphere inside our mind. We light lamps to remove the darkness of the house, unhappiness is the darkness of our mind. There are so many bright lamps in our minds that if we lighten them we will get our happiness back.These are the countless small happy events that happen in our lives , when we recall them the bright light of happiness shone.
Our state of mind depends on ‘personal internal representation (PIR) and physiology’. Together they create our state of mind. The amusing thing is that one influences other. If we can change one of them , other will change automatically and instantly. Let’s find out what they are and how to change them from any unresourceful state to resourceful state.
PERSONAL INTERNAL REPRESENTATION:-
“Events have no meanings ,we give it meaning” . That is, there is no meaning of any event what is happening in outer world ,we give meaning to it as per our perception. Our perception depends on VISUAL , AUDITORY AND KINESTHETIC submodalities. Personal internal representation is the image that is formed in our mind through these three sensory languages. If we can change these three sensory languages of our understanding of the mind, our perception of events will be changed. The meaning of same event seems different to defferent people. If we regard in a slightly different way to the external events that stir our mind, it will create positive impact in our subconscious mind.
Create a deep belief in your mind that “Everything happens , happen for a purpose”. With this belief find out the purpose of what happened to you , what are the positive intention within. For example, if there is an accident in our house, it is normal that our mind will be unhappy. If we want, we can fade our state of mind a lot. How? We need to think instantly about what we can do for the rest of the family. It will strengthen us and take us in a resourceful state.
Did you know that a beautiful world exists in your mind?
Most of the people keep their mind mucky and unholy. Happiness will not come to you until you have cleansed this world of your mind. To do so, always speak positively to yourself and embrace only the valuable things from what is happening outside.
PHYSIOLOGY:-
In terms of physiology, basically I am indicating about the body language. Just as our body language can awaken us, it can plunge us into deep darkness. You will see that when we feel happiness, our chests become wider, our faces become brighter, and our movement become lusty and sinewy. Similarly, when our mind is perturb , it tormented our physiology. If we keep our body language in positive our mind will shift into resourceful state. If for some reason our mind is in unresourceful state and the body posture is in down position, immediately shake the body, widen the chest, raise the neck, bring a smile on your face and you will feel happy. You can’t feel unhappy with positive physiology.
Remember the quote of WAYNE DYER’S “if you can’t keep yourself happy, you are burden to someone else”.
