Inherently Happy

The goal finally revealed. Give me your resources and your Happy Juice and help me make Happyland on Earth as well as in the afterlife. If you don't then I'll just have to dream and write about it instead.

Being able to recognize the inherent Happy quality within all of us can help us better understand others and ourselves.

Some coping mechanisms to find your Happy Way.

The sense of yourself as a Happy Being being Happy is your spark, your Juice, your Happy Juice.

Once you've proven to yourself that your mind has more stability and agility than you might have thought then you can push those boundaries without the fear of losing control. Be all the emotions all the time, but in balance. It's okay to be angry, scared, glad, guilty, sad and hopeful all at once, and even to focus on one for a time, as needed, but don't wallow. 

Entertain the notion of Happy, let your mind stretch. It's okay, you're safe from the threat of madness. I'm pretty sure.

To get the most out of your tool box of emotions you have to first face them honestly. What makes you mad, sad, scared or feel guilty. You aren't required to share these secrets with others, but you should at least acknowledge them yourself. Don't do it all at once, but gradually. Start small and work up.

Stuck in a mood? Or can't stop one? Emotions have momentum and, yes, even weight. Slamming on the brakes or going hysterical to change them may be the wrong approach. Gradual rehabilitation might be just the thing.

Emotional strength takes practice, the same way an athlete builds ability through training. So, exercise your emotions to keep them agile and strong by connecting with Humanity through Art, Science and Philosophy, through relationships and work and play. This way you'll be ready for whatever Life throws at you. And, really, Life just throws things everywhere, not specifically at you, so don't take...

Staying in the Happy state of mind means being able to balance your emotional health with the ever-changing world around you. In a word: HaHa.

While I may come off as glib, my pursuit of Happy is over 20 years in the making. I am earnestly looking for the Divine Mood that connects us all with Eternity. And, you know, stuff like that. [See more at HaHaHappy.org]

We are naturally and originally Happy and yet seek to perfect that which need not be improved upon, leading only to grief and madness. So, I thought I'd seek out the divine in everyday life and see what it can do.
