How to be HAPPY
Let’s talk about happiness. In most cases, being happy is all about the chemical process inside your brain. Being happy can be a choice. It is not always a choice but it can be one. It does not matter if you don’t have what to eat this morning, you still have the freedom to show a smile and feel happy. Yet, it is hard to be happy and show a smile when your fridge is empty or your company is going down, but... you still can do it. Here’s something that I want to highlight in this video: Before you should know how to be happy, you have to understand why you should not be happy. Ok, I know it does not show it, but this is going somewhere, trust me! Let me tell you about an experiment; I don’t really remember its name but – whatever… There were those mice in a cage that could press a button and feel pleasure. Feel happy. It was done using some kind of electricity thing on their heads, making them secrete dopamine. Using electricity. After a few days, they died.
They literally died because of happiness. Because they got so into it,that they would not make sex, or eat, or drink water anymore. They would continuously press the button, not doing anything else anymore. Why I’ve told you this? Because people are being pressured by these youtubers, life coaches, gurus to think that you should always be happy. This is bullshit. Speaking about happiness as a chemical process inside your head, you should not always be happy. That’s not happiness,that’s madness! It is all about balance. Buddhists and other spiritual people name balance “inner peace”. Now, this inner peace it’s much more important than being happy. Balance or inner peace is a state of being, often confused with being happy.
Being in a state of inner peace is not always about being happy. Inner peace is acceptance. Going with the flow. It is learning your emotions and consume them. Yes, your emotions should be consumed. That's a fact! I feel like social media is making people feel useless. You see your friends having such a good life in those photos and you’re at home eating chocolate watching me on YouTube. Do you feel like doing this? Do it. Consume this feeling. Your brain knows what to do, trust me. Your job is to consume what life gives you. Do you ever consume your feelings? Or do you just let them stay there,behind your brain? A good start is to stop seeking pleasure and happiness,but inner peace. Being calm, peaceful,carefree is a skill. Some of us have this skill developed; not me! - others not. So we should learn how to keep a balance, an inner peace. This is what I think happiness means.
let’s give the answer: Stay calm. Whatever your mind tells you, try to look over your environment. We sometimes get lost in your thoughts, and we’re not living on Earth anymore,but in a world. You know, there’s one earth but an infinity of worlds. Every one of us is living inhis world and a lot of people these days live in a very bad, pessimistic world. So, change that, find your inner peace and let your brain do the balance. Sometimes, it is ok to feel sad, but try not to get lost in your feelings. Consume them! Goodbye!
