                              Relearning  
                        
In her 2007 book The How of Happiness, positive psychology researcher Sonja Lyubomirsky elaborates, describing happiness as “the experience of joy, contentment, or positive well-being, combined with a sense that one’s life is good, meaningful, and worthwhile.”
But we are always in the state of worrying, and most of the time we are with negative feelings and missing the thing called joy. Most of us don’t know when we were happy last time .There is a Urdu poem written by Mirza Khalib. It says
” peace and joy are our friends for few seconds only”.
 All religions teach us the way to be happy. But are we happy and enjoying most of our life time?  Some religion advices to bear the pain of sufferings, so that we can be happy in the heaven or next birth after death. Some religion says that “Be without wishes”. Wishes are the root cause of all worries”. Some says Enjoyment is the seed of unhappiness. Can we live without needs, ambitions, goals, wishes and aims? Practically it is not possible.
There are so many books on Self Development on How to achieve? How to win? How to reach target? And so on. The religious books preach the way to Enlighten, to get place in the heaven, or better life in the next birth, or to cease the further birth.
This Serial is not religious or philosophical one like them.   We are studying the Happiness and Enjoyment on scientific way particularly Psychological, Physiological, Nutritional and Emotional platforms. We are finding the way to be happy in most of our life time.
Happiness and Enjoyments are not rarest things. We have already enjoyed them in most of our time in our Childhood. In the birth that qualities came with us along our genes. But then we are not happy in our adult and old life? Yes we have forgotten the way how to be happy. We have to relearn the things. That is all.
Relearning? Or we forgot? You may ask. Yes we have forgotten so many things during the course of busy schedules and commitments.  Most important are Happiness, and the way how to enjoy? This may surprise you. But yes you have forgotten to enjoy small, small things in our life. We have forgotten how to enjoy during eating food, watching film, enjoying places and nature, company of a friend, enjoying a tour, situation of school, and company of relatives, and we found nothing brings happiness. Yes we have forgotten our natural sense of happiness and way of enjoying the things.
Just remember how you enjoyed a small candy when you are five years old? It did not did not dissolve in your saliva more than half an hour. You were tasting and enjoying its sweetness and flavour for more than half an hour. But that same candy won’t exist more than few second, and also you will forget to enjoy the sweetness and flavour even on that few seconds, by mind preoccupied by worries of daily life. When we saw films in our teens, we not only enjoyed them, we will remember each and every scene in the film, even today, after so many years. But today we feel difficult to watch a complete movie, without deviation of mind. We forget the name of the movie seen yesterday.
So we have to relearn the things which we have forgotten. Yes to learn how to be happy and enjoy everything in scientific way. Is it hard to learn or to be happy? No. It is hard to worry than to be happy. We can enjoy every minute of our life time. This Serial  explains the Psychological, Physiological, Nutritional, emotional and some practical methods to achieve this relearning process.
At the end of this Serial you will understand about Art of Enjoying Life. If you follow the hints given at the end of each Chapter, you can enjoy your whole life time and start loving your world.

Do you think happiness is the same thing to you as it is to others? What’s the point of it all? Does it even make a difference in our lives? In fact, happiness does have a pretty important role in our lives, and it can have a huge impact on the way we live our lives. Although researchers have yet to pin down the definition or an agreed-upon framework for happiness, there’s a lot we have learned in the last few decades.

Physiology of happiness -Happiness 3

Image
                                                      Physiology of happiness Within the brain, the anterior cortex and the amygdale (in the brain) become more active when we think about positive events. Research demonstrates that the neurotransmitter dopamine plays an important role in happiness because it mediates transfer of positive emotions. Happiness is also associated with  lower levels of cortisol , and therefore, a stronger immune system, and less stress. Happiness produces physiological changes, evident by scientific testing. Positron Emission Tomography (PET test) and functional MRI show activity in the left prefrontal cortex, which when stimulated, people feel more positive. Optimism, a contributing factor for happiness, is also linked to brain function Within the brain, the anterior cortex and the amygdale (in the brain) ...
