According to Dr. Sonja Lyubomirsky, an expert in Social Psychology, happiness is a subjective well-being. That is, what can give happiness depends more on the person than on the fact itself.
Why are there people who apparently have everything in life: a great family, love, health and a good financial situation, but, even so, they are not happy? The answer is because only ten percent of our happiness depends on all these circumstances.
People get used very quickly to good things, people stop appreciating that they have a good marriage, or good health.
In scientific theory it is stated that genetics carries a large part of the responsibility for our happiness; up to 50 percent. It is considered that people conceive the achievements around them in a different way depending on their genes.
If my genetic predisposition makes me fat, then I make an exercise and diet plan that keeps me healthy. In the same way, I have to learn to be fit for happiness. It is easy. According to this psychologist, we must control our thoughts and feelings, transform them into positive feelings. This means that we must work on "intentional activities". But what kind of activities should I do to be happy?
- Be grateful, practice acts of kindness, cultivate optimism, learn to forgive and practice religion and spirituality. [19659004] -Cultivar social relations, avoid thinking too much and social comparison.
-Develop strategies to face all situations and savor the joys of life.
-Increase experiences that make us flow, fulfill our objectives and take care of the body (physical activity and a positive attitude)
Of all these activities we must choose the ones that satisfy us the most and adjust them to our life.
One advice that the doctor gives is to try to imagine what your life would be like if you would not have met your husband, if you had not got the job you have ... This exercise, done from time to time, can help us appreciate each of the good things we have.
In a nice way We can tell you that being fit for happiness depends much more on what goes on inside of us. Aristotle: "Happiness depends on ourselves."
