Defining Happiness

Defining Happiness

Happiness is individual; it looks different for everyone. As you look at the list below, you will notice how happiness can look different for everyone, but one thing about happiness is that it's not a destination. You do things daily that cultivate happiness.?

Cultivating Happiness

1. Finding satisfaction in your life - how do you evaluate your life overall? Are you proud of what you accomplished? Are you satisfied with your relationships? Your career? Your health?


2. People - having positive relationships, unconditional support system, community, and family. Basically, having "love" in your life and feeling love from others, being in love, and loving others. It's not the quantity of friends; it's the quality of these relationships.?We can be happier with two deep friendships than 10 casual friends.


3. Religion/spirituality - having a spiritual practice. Have faith in a higher power, whatever that looks like for you. Whether you find that practice/belief at a church, temple, or at home doesn't make a difference. When we have faith, we believe we are part of something bigger than ourselves, and we feel connected to the earth, others, nature, and animals. Having a spiritual practice helps us form a routine, reduce stress, and find balance. It can be a meditation/yoga practice, gratitude, prayer, sitting in nature, etc.?


4. Meaning - we need to have a sense of meaning/purpose in our lives no matter our age or phase in life. Meaning/purpose can change in life as we grow and develop. Meaning/purpose has not much to do with the title, status, money, fame, or material things. It's about doing something you feel passionate about and helping make the world a better place. It has intrinsic meaning.?


What doesn't bring Happiness:


For long-term happiness - money, fame, status, title, and power can bring a shorter boost. However, if you are looking for long-term happiness, it's all about socialization - positive relationships and building memories/experiences.?


Social media - constantly comparing ourselves to others and seeing what we miss in our lives- makes us feel worse. Be mindful of how social media makes you feel, and act accordingly. Minimize your social media intake.
