Lesson 5
As we know by now, 50% of happiness is in our genes,
10% depends on the circumstances of life and the rest 40% can be cultivated by
us by taking up activities, intentionally and voluntarily, that bring joy and
happiness.
These intentional activities we call Happiness
Activities.
You can find activities that fit your interests, your
values and your needs.
Let us classify and list a few activities to make it
clear:
Everyone needs to spare time regularly for at least
one activity to take care of the body, mind and soul. It may be aerobics, yoga,
meditation, walking, or any of the physical exercises.
Stress is the major concern in modern life. One needs
to learn how to cope with stress, trauma, and hardships of life.
Finding flow and living in the present is the surest
path to authentic happiness. You can choose a happiness activity that helps you
enhance flow experience.
You can enrich your life by developing positive
relationships and by broadening social connections.
Committing to your goals and a committed goal pursuit
leads to accomplishments, thus enhancing your happiness quotient.
You may want to enhance your positive emotions about
the past by practicing gratitude or your positive emotions about the future by
practicing optimism.
We will be taking up some proven happiness activities
from each of these sections in our subsequent lessons.
(I
will be away for about a month. So, the next lesson may appear after some gap.
Be happy!)
