Happiness And A Positive Life Style

The words "happiness" and "being happy" have always been associated closely with humankind. The dictionary definition of the word happiness is "a state of harmony that includes pleasure, enjoyment and well being." In the most basic terms, happiness means a state of well being.


The word happiness is generally used in the field of psychology and refers to a state of harmony, both physical and mental. It is also used within the field of wellbeing, the meaning varies depending on the source. It is commonly used to refer to a state of well being. Well-being is a physiological state that is maintained primarily through an internal system and is usually described as an inner sense of well being. Some people would define well being as having a satisfactory level of health and well being.

People who are extremely happy to live productive lives, and are happier in general. Those who are not happy are often characterized as lazy, poor, gloomy, and angry. Research into happiness has shown that people who are happy to have higher self-esteem and greater levels of productivity. They are also more satisfied with their marriages, their friendships, and other aspects of their lives. People who are happier to have higher work performance and job satisfaction, and they are less likely to experience serious illnesses such as cancer, heart disease and diabetes.

Happiness also has a direct impact on people's physical health. People who are happier to tend to be in better overall health, and are less likely to have chronic diseases. The longevity of individuals who are happy is also notably longer than those who are not happy. Happiness also affects other aspects of their lives, such as their levels of personal productivity, their level of social interactivity, and their level of meaningful participation in daily activities. Overall, people who are satisfied with their lives are more productive and happier, and their relationships with others are more fulfilling as well.

There are many theories about the causes of happiness. Most researchers agree that happiness can be derived from the effects of cognitive and emotional processes on the brain. These include things like your relationships with other people, how much you enjoy your work, and the state of your physical health. According to some theories, people who are more happy to have access to "happy chemicals" through increased amounts of dopamine. Other researchers have found that happiness can be caused by increased activity in the frontal cortex. While other theories suggest that happiness can be caused by the regulation of neurotransmitters like serotonin and endorphins in your brain.

One reason that it seems that happiness can vary so much between people is that there are usually very few, if any, consistent factors that consistently affect happiness across the population. People differ in what they find to be happy, what makes them sad, and how their brain works to process these inputs. Another important factor that impacts people's happiness, however, is the amount of money that they are able to obtain and spend. Happiness is not only influenced by external factors such as what a person enjoys doing; it is also affected by the state of his or her finances. People who are more financially secure are generally happier than those who are not.

One important factor that researchers are currently working to determine is whether there is a genetic component to happiness. While it is unlikely that there is a direct cause-and-effect relationship between genetics and happiness, some scientists believe that there is a connection between genetics and moods, which may explain why some people are happier than others. As more findings about the link between genetics and behavior become available, psychologists may be able to use this information to develop treatments for patients suffering from depression, attention deficit disorder, or other similar disorders.


Regardless of what is causing your happiness, it is important that you learn to keep your happiness high. Staying in an unhappy relationship, or failing to achieve success at work, will make your happiness low and will cause you to feel the need for a change of pace. Conversely, being in a happy relationship, working hard at making a living, and enjoying your personal life will cause you to be happy and satisfied with your life and your circumstances. Thus, adopting a healthier attitude toward life, along with a healthier diet, regular exercise, and a positive outlook on life can lead to a happier life style and more happiness.
