In order to understand how to be happy, we need to look at how we think there are three different ways we react to everything around us.
Only
this time with less money in your wallet and more wrinkles on your face so it's
safe to say happiness doesn't lie in the wanting category.
The second way, we react is by rejecting from the moment we wake up our mind automatically
starts to look for things to reject around us. Oh I feel so tired but I have to
go to work so cold I don't want to leave my bed we reject others oh he's so
awkward oh why can't this cashier do his job properly.
We
reject ourselves so out of shape why am I such a loser again it's safe to say
there isn't much happiness here either
The third way, we react is by zoning out what was confronted with a task that's quote-unquote
boring like commuting to work or waiting at the doctor's office we tend to zone
out everything becomes sort of hazy it's almost as if you put on a black and
white filter over your eyes your brain goes on to sleep mode and your mind is
either lost in the past over past regrets or lost in the future.
Filled
with anxiety about things that might go wrong doesn't sound like a fun place to
be these three ways of reacting makeup over ninety-nine percent of the way the average person goes about his day to day life no wonder they're unhappy so how do I become
happy well there's actually a fourth way of reacting to something that we only experience
once in a blue moon it's here where happiness really lies. it's the way you
reacted when you visited the Grand Canyon for the first time it's the feeling
astronauts describe when they see the Earth from outer space. it's the way you
were when you were younger able to spend hours just looking at bugs and
pictures it's called mindfulness think of it as the opposite of zoning out
your zoning is being hyper-aware of everything in front of you the way something
feels the way it moves it smell its taste all of its features and nothing else this
means there's no room for wanting no room for rejecting and you certainly not
zoned out all of your focus is just on the exact thing or event happening right
in front of you there is no judgment there's simply room for you to take it all
in and when you react to things and events with mindfulness happiness follow
and it stays for good by simply learning how to focus on what's in front of you
you make room for happiness in your life and the only way to become more
mindful in your reactions on a day-to-day basis is by practicing meditation now
I'm sure there are a lot of you guys watching this thinking.
See
