WHAT IS HAPPINESS AND WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO YOU?

Happiness origins from the Greek concept of ‘Eudaimonia’ meaning welfare and human flourishing. It was defined and widely discussed already among the Greek philosophers Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Epicurus and The Stoics around +/- 300 – 240 BC.

Aristotle wrote that everyone agreed on ‘Eudaimonia’ is the highest good for human beings, but there was substantial disagreement on what sort of life counts for doing happiness well. Some resonated for virtue, but for Epicurus, the purpose of philosophy was to attain the happy, tranquil life, characterized by peace and freedom from fear and the absence of pain and by living a self-sufficient life, surrounded by friends.

The concept was not only discussed back then, but also today many wise people have analysed and interpreted and as described in the Modern Moral Philosophy and Modern psychology through decades, happiness is defined as “a mental or emotional state of well-being, which can be defined by a range of positive or pleasant emotions, ranging from contentment to intense joy”.

Mostly we for sure get the experience of happiness when we fall in love, we get a little crazy and everything seems light and very easy. The opposite of happiness we experience when we fall out of love, which can be very unpleasant and if lasting too long, you could define it as a depression.

For me happiness mostly is the feeling of joy that appears in small glimpses other times for several hours or days. It feels like having butterflies in your stomach, having a tendency to be in a good mood with smiles and laughs. Other times It is a state of being in ease, where there is a flow of nice and calm situations and the experience is that challenges get solved easily and so forth.

For me to remain in happiness, it requires my abilities to focus on the positive, remain unaffected of anything and have no disturbing opinions or any need for being in control over others. An awareness I have been training to practice for years. Simple but not easy.

There are many things to learn and understand, when you start realising that the biochemistry within our bodies, are created not only from what we digest, but also from outside as well from our thoughts.

How we create and keep the balance is actually a full time work – we just seem to have forgotten how important it is. Health, wealth and happiness have probably been subjects for discussions for more than five thousand years. For me it is daily in my mind, as I have realised how essential this is not only to me, but to every human being on this planet. The concept of “change your thoughts and you change your life” is for real.

So how would you describe your happiness? Are you satisfied with the balance in your life or are you ready to evolve your awareness and grow personally?

We hope to give some inspiration and motivation for  the design of your life, whatever the reason could be for you.

HOW TO HAVE HILARIOUS MOMENTS WHILE DEALING WITH INFLUENZA

by | Jan 5, 2018 | HAPPINESS, LIFE DESIGN

Change your mood for healing and happiness

Always be aware of your mood  –  it has an impact on your health!

I’m having caught a bad flu this winter. Here in France it’s named La grippe! It seems like being a pandemic with so many people hit and it is rather uncomfortable with fever, snot and coughs Eeerrgghh.

So being in bed under duvets and blankets seems to be the only right thing to do – simply surrender and let the body do its work. But how to keep the boredom away…?

My dear husband Jens did arrange my laptop – connected to the television screen – as he did find a channel on YouTube with an endless stream of old black / white Hollywood films from before WW2 – what a pleasure. Nice and SO funny movies from a time where the world seemed less complicated – just what I can overview in my flu condition.

Until now, I have seen Cary Grant in several different versions: Submarine captain – who unintended is getting a handful of women on board…  As a chemist and scientist working in a company where they try to invent the liquid for youth and have several unexpected results, involving a chimpanzee and children – hilarious. Then about the childless couple having hard times on getting business up, running and adapting first a little baby girl… who later dies – ohhh noo – and then a little boy … very heart breaking and also very sweet! After this, I saw a Gary Cooper – theme: Cowboy meets girl on a blind date she hides she is very rich,  they of course get deeply in love… also a very sweet and happy film.

I just discovered the channel also has several Chaplin movies – Cartoons with Betty Boop – Popeye – Super Man – Now you need to have a look

Enjoy and have fun

Best wishes of  Health, Wealth and Happiness

How to Handle feelings of solitude and low energy in holiday seasons

Handling feelings of solitude and low energy in Holiday seasons

December always has the influence of bringing up many emotions in me and it can be a little heavy for both my spouse and me. Therefore, I try to keep it to myself… and I recognize this pattern every year!

This time of the year where family gatherings, calls and loving conversations ought to be queuing up -but they don’t!

My husband is a sole child and his parents are no longer. My own mother is also a sole child -so there are no near relatives like aunts or uncles nor cousins.

This morning was no different from last year… I was home alone and did allow myself all the emotions for a while. Feeling a missing of the vicinity with my two lovely daughters, both of whom are busy occupied students, which is perfect, they are both busy and have their own life in their mid-twenties.

The non-existent connection with my sister and our parents through several years- seems we have nothing to share any longer. I have, of course, also a stake in this situation -but the feeling of loss and the feeling of being rejected and alone, hits me like a hammer -again I become the little girl who has come away from her family.

So this morning, as I prepared my breakfast late -after having slept a lot, since I also always get symptoms of the flu! I decided that I needed to use the good tools, I know of, to take better care of myself and focus my energies somewhere else.

As I poured coffee in my mug, I got an impulse about to listen to a Reiki meditation… so I went  to look up for my favourite Reiki meditations saved in my YouTube account. Susan Wilbanks has uploaded some powerful 5-6 minutes short soundtracks on her channel -that really makes a difference. So why not try if I could bring myself into another state of mind? (all links are below)

As always when I enter my YouTube account (I use my android phone) some proposals appears when I open the app. So before I found the Reiki, I noticed a new channel I have never seen before. The attraction was on the title “The Energy Alchemist” and I took it as a sign for me to be even more aware of the energy I had just gone through with all my emotions.

As I listened, I realized this was the exact teaching  I needed to hear in this situation. Discovering the modern monk Dandipani explaining about concentration, focus and energy was an eye opener, he frames it in a way I haven’t heard before.

Afterwards I did listen to Susan Wilbank’s “Reiki for Anxiety” and just after I listened also to “Reiki for Empaths”  as I also am!

I took a deep breath and did notice my emotions were already in a much better balance.

Yet another channel appeared, with Sangita Prana- a sound healing track “shield against bad luck and negative energy”-a good rounding so I decided also listened to this. Fulfilling my mission to get in a better mood.

So in just an hour I managed to change my energy and focus … and get out of my feeling of solitude..

I share this with you what I learned today from Dandipani – I have to practice and look forward to see how next years December feelings will appear

Happy holidays

 

Best wishes of your Health, Wealth and Happiness

HOW TO DISCOVER YOUR OWN PERSONAL STRENGTH AND BEAUTY

How to discover your own beauty

It can be rather confusing to be born into this world as a tiny human being, raised in a family structure in a community, in a country in some part of the world and through all these influences, to finding your own path and discover the beauty of it all.

How we manage balancing our own life, especially depends on how we were influenced by our parent’s way of conducting their lives and behaviours in our youngest years. Their way to have handled situations can have deep impact and end up being our own obstacles without even knowing why.

In my part of the world in the Nordic countries, people are being matured and bullied with the Jante law through most of our life, from both a good and bad perspective. The good part is that the democracy in our countries is based on nobody is more worth than others. The backside is when people who ought to support you is expressing this law out of context, in families, political etc. Read the Jante law below.

Your personal foundation ought to be filled with love and support so that you as a young self-confident person walk out in the society and learn even more during your youth, starting up your own life. But if you haven’t had the caring guidance and support from maybe other generations in your family, you might only have a weak picture of who you are yourself. Even worse, you might not even know that being alive is a beautiful loving miracle.

It is a very good idea to use some well-known tools for navigating around in our life. Some that have been used since man started watching the moon. Other having been developed later in the modern world’s work’s cultural perspective.

What I’m thinking of here is especially knowing of the zodiacs and the Typology Tests just to mention a few.

Knowing about the zodiacs can be a great advantage when you meet new people. Ask what zodiac they are, tell what you are and you already get a nice framing on personalities communicating from a much more open perspective.

Getting to know yourself through your personal horoscope, analysed by a skilled astrologer, can be like entering a screenplay where you are the author and director to choose how the play has to be performed, depending on your free will.

I have been subscribing daily updates on my zodiac for more than a year and already learned a lot – about myself! I must admit I start to daring to get my own full horoscope done in the nearest future.

I met the Jung Myers-Briggs tools in the corporate world, in several jobs. As it is a very popular tool to make team building, for getting people to perform better. It’s a great tool to let people understand that we all perform in individual perspectives, but we can all get categorized. These are good tools from an HR perspective in a company where the strength is to get as many different people as possible in your organisation. If you only have a bunch of regimented people you have a weak organisation.

I had a very good experience with one of the companies I worked in for several years, as I discovered that my CEO was in the exact same category as me. That mend I suddenly knew him a lot better, as we would have the same approach and mind-set around things.

Where I have also learned a lot, is through listening to the wise people who are sharing their knowledge on YouTube. I’ll give you a list of my favourite channels below. Lee Harris is giving insights on Energy and how it feels and why. With Ralph Smart you can feel alive. The Ask Teal (Teal Swan) video series takes questions deep and inherent within our human experience and answers them eloquently and very concisely.

Having a good indication on yourself and the people around you, can be a great support to understand some more of this amazing world and its amazing population. It makes life much more fun, and to discover the beauty in others is to discover the beauty of yourself.

Enjoy

Best of Health, Wealth and Happiness
