have you ever had something that you had high hopes have been justified only for a while, but in the end it makes little difference in your life? For example, you worked hard for a promotion, was inspired and motivated by how it will change your life after receiving it. As will be more free time, wages, will be able to travel more. And now, you got it! Time has indeed become more and salaries are going up, time to rejoice!
But after a few weeks you already feel is also sad, as the improvement, although the possibilities and benefits had not been taken away. Familiar?
To start we should clarify that by happiness I understand it is the state of maximum or at least high level of enjoyment of life, not fading with time, but being stable is normal for a person
This article is a review of techniques that reduce emotional suffering, as well as motivating and energizing.
But before I start, you need to say the most important - NONE of these methods will NOT MAKE you happy! Any methodology, and indeed any action will always bring only a temporary emotional response. To BE HAPPY a person needs to REGULARLY ACHIEVE something IMPORTANT to you. It's a lifestyle, part of which can be these methods.
1 Maintenance and analysis of a diary of negative events helps to mark your unreasonably strong negative reaction and use other methods to reduce emotional tension.
2 Techniques from mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) will help to stop the start-up of a familiar, but unwanted emotional reactions. (Which ideally should be trained, undergoing therapy with a specialist, to read books is not enough).
3 Desensitization through eye movement (EMDR) is a behavioral technique that permanently decrease the anxiety.
4 Bibliotherapy - reading self-help books.
5 Focus on the capabilities and their application. The idea of positive psychology that in any event or thought is as something pleasant and useful for humans and painful and harmful, but if you focus on the next opportunities and other positive aspects, these events will recharge you with energy to improve the situation, not make you lazy to learn and try something new.
can't say that this is a complete list, useful for this purpose, methodologies, rather it is a gentleman's set (except number 5) current methods of the cognitive approach, which can be used independently. In conclusion, I just want to say that to be consistently at the peak of emotions!, It is possible to appreciate your accomplishments (not just unique) and to devalue their failures (as they have a brand at all), you Can gamble, enjoy the process, constantly trying new ways of pleasure for a long time to stay energetic and happy!
