How to be always Happy

Life is nature’s most precious gift to mankind. Life is precious . It is sacred. Its every moment is to be enjoyed and cherished , Unfortunately most of people instead of enjoying it , make a mess of it, destroy it , desecrate it. Psychologists for centuries have been searching the reason for this utter unhappiness and dissatisfaction with life and have proposed one or more of the remedies. But the most effective and rapid antidote to all depression, anxiety, worry, stress etc. is a very simple technique. This actually is not a technique but a very simple fact of life which most of people do not notice; consequently they remain happy throughout their life. Let me explain this simple fact of life in a little detail.

You must have noticed in your every day experience that suppose you are racing along a highway and you are searching for an exit from where you can move on to the side lane. But when it comes you just miss it . Why? Because your mind is absorbed in other thoughts. You are not mentally present in that moment. Either you are thinking of something in the past or pondering over something in the future and so you miss the exit even if it is very much there.

Here lies the point. We as human beings confuse our brain with either thoughts (mostly unhappy) of the past or apprehensions about the future. Whereas the fact of the matter is that the brain is made to accept only present moment thoughts. So what happens is that we are physically present in a given situation but mentally we are either in the past or in the future so we miss countless opportunities which come to met us in the present and also confuse our brain . The result is even more unhappiness and stress. So it becomes a viscous cycle. Now the natural question arises what is the way out of all this.

You will be surprised to know that the remedy is quite simple and very easy to comprehend. The only time we have is present. Past is dead and future is not sure. Only present is reality of life every thing else is an illusion , a fantasy. We should try to live as much as possible in the present and leave the past and future. As the celebrated Psychologist Dale Carnegie has put it ” Learn to live in day-tight compartments”. Yes To-DAY is the only day you have. Now is the only time you have. If you want to act , act NOW. If you want to express love to somebody do it NOW. If you want to tell somebody how much you love her/him do it now. Forget about past mistakes and future worries. Take right decisions NOW. If you have noticed some personality traits in yourself which need improvement , make effort to improve NOW. The world famous Psychologist and inspirational writer Dr. Wayne Dyer in his book The Sky is the Limit says that when a person performs a certain task with full present moment participation of body and mind then there remains no limit to his achievement. He can do marvels.

So the conclusion of all this discussion is that the moment you make your brain think only in the present, no worry, no anxiety, no stress, no depression, no anger no frustration whatsoever remains. Try it , it really works. Always keep remembering yourself that the only time you have is now and the only moment you have is the present moment. See it is such a simple point but many people miss it and constantly brood over past events or fear the future. It follows that if you want to live happily and do not want the rest of your life to follow the same pattern as it has followed hitherto then my sincere advice is to learn to live in the present and then you will feel as if buy magic every negative thought, ever unhappy thought has vanished and you will feel much relieved and energetic.

 

Anxiety is a complex concept involving certain apprehensions regarding the unknown and this is the basic reason why there are lots of anxiety cures being used for the anxiety laden patients. Its etiology maybe difficult to fathom but there are definitely some major breakthroughs that can help in addressing problems related to anxiety. It must be noted however, that there is no one single anxiety cure. And treatment must be patient specific, which means that one treatment regimen maybe best for one but may not work in the same way for the other. Moreover, it is a remarkable feat that both the very complex and simple anxieties can be treated with simple curing techniques that can really cure anxiety.

Psychotherapy and alternative medications are used in combination or as separate interventions so as to best counter anxiety.

What is Psychotherapy?

Being one of the anxiety cures, psychotherapy involves counseling sessions that are staged to aid in alleviating psychological related factors that probably contribute to certain anxieties. A good example is the process of mental desensitization and other methods to counter one’s fears or phobias. This is a form of mental therapeutic intervention that does some positive change to the patient’s thought patterns. Although the relief may not be instant, still psychotherapy has been one of the proven effective regimens to counter anxiety.

?How About Alternative Medications?

?On the other hand, certain medicines and therapies called alternative treatments are slowly being accepted in the worldwide scenario today. Like acupuncture, massage therapy, and meditation therapies, all of which are already being used in various health care institutions as anxiety cures. These regimens are seen to have some high degree of effectiveness that is already at par or even greater than the conventional types of medications. Basically, all of these three different modes are built on the foundation of the Yin and Yang, the equilibrium of the mind, body and soul. A single disruption to this balance will lead to unwanted feelings including anxieties.

One of the front liners of anxiety cures is acupuncture. This therapy obviously uses needles to target strategic pressure points in the body whereas massage is mostly redirecting the attention of the patient to focus more on the soothing sensations. Thus, massage concentrates less on the anxieties and more on the relaxation being experienced.

Lastly, meditation is a very effective, if not the most effective of all non-traditional anxiety cures. One way is through rhythmic breathings that help the client to find some inner peace. Meditation is truly effective in countering anxiety, most especially the popularly used guided imagery wherein the client will be asked to think of purely happy thoughts. This in turn, will surely give you a clearer and better outlook in life.

All in all, I must reiterate here that there are many anxiety cures that can really cure anxiety.But,people rely too much on conventional medications without knowing that there are also certain non traditional therapies that are also as effective. Although treatments are patient-specific, most are relatively simple and can deliver best results when used properly, appropriately and in combination with other forms of anxiety cures.?
