How happpiness happens ?

But how does an adult achieve a high level of contentment while living a frenetic and distraction-packed life?
There is an incredibly high correlation between people's happiness and meaning at work and at home. In other words, those who experience happiness and meaning at work tend also to experience them outside of work. Those who are miserable on the job are usually miserable at home.

The implication is unmistakable. Since work and home are very different environments, our experience of happiness and meaning in life appears to have more to do with who we are than where we are. Rather than blaming our jobs, our managers and our customers or our friends, family members, and communities for our negative worklife experience, we might be better served by looking in the mirror.

One commonly expressed excuse for not getting more happiness and meaning out of life is: "I'm working too many hours." But our results show that the number of hours worked had no significant correlation with happiness or meaning experienced at work or at home. So much for that excuse.

The correlations between happiness, meaning, and overall satisfaction at work and home were very similar. Those who were more satisfied with life outside of work are the one spending more time on activities that produced both happiness and meaning.

These links between how we spend our time and how we feel may seem confusing, but specific patterns arose some commonsensical, some not. Here are a few quick takeaways:

• Reduce TV watching. It's stimulating but doesn't increase overall satisfaction with life at work or home.
• Cut back on surfing the Web for non-professional reasons. It's negatively correlated with the experience of both happiness and meaning.
• Do as few chores as you can (whatever that word means to you).
• Spend time exercising and with people you love (people doing this had more satisfaction with life at work and at home).
• Feeling challenged is linked to greater satisfaction, so challenge yourself.

How do you manage your life to reach satisfaction in both areas of your life?

Dare to get excited

In life you must dare to play, you must dare to get excited for the things you love, your passion and your hobby. You must get excited over an idea, project or an upcoming event. You must indulge your enthusiasm for what you enjoy, what projected you to a positive feeling and a feeling of joy.

You have an idea for a project you want to realize, a dream, do not hesitate to put all your enthusiasm and daring to optimistically anticipate the success and growth . Don't let down this feeling of excitement that overwhelmed you when you make your projections, do stop to pretend that you are "realistic", while this is not the case at all.

For a project to reach its full potential requires that the person who carries out is truly excited about this project. To accept that you pass through the challenges to succeed, it is necessary that your project is almost an obsession, an obsession that helps you excel and give you the energy to finish the project.

Do not let your environment dictate your life, your dreams and your ways. People who are able to understand what you are experiencing as a desire to succeed in your project, are those in the same boat as you or who have gone through the same challenges to realize their projects. They get excited daring, fantasize about the results and benefits of success.

Do not try to change the mind of those who have a negative view of your idea, whatever you do, they will always be negative, even if you succeed. Continue to be excited about your idea and you will have the support of those as you dare get excited over an idea and put the effort to try to achieve.

The benefits for mental and physical health are unexplainable, but practical. When we are happy and excited that our thoughts are directed towards interesting, positive and useful actions, we soon forget his little injuries and small mishaps, because we are fully invested in an activity that really interests us.
