"The past is a ghost, the future a dream. All we ever have is now"
This is for sure one of the ways (if not the only sure way) to find happiness - to be in the now. To raise your awareness and to focus in the moment now.
But it is really not so easy to achieve that.
Sometimes there are thousand and thousand of thoughts and desires, which push you in the future and in the past.
One possible solution is to switch off the thoughts and focus your attention to your senses. What do you see? What do you hear? How your skin and body feel?
Focus on the breathing, inhale, exhale...

Training of the Happiness muscles
Happiness is mental state of mind.
We all know that, but how to achieve that state? This is the question.
Recently I found out a very interesting material about that idea.
The state of mind is like muscle - you have to train it. At the beginning your happy state is not so strong. If you are untrained you cannot stay happy for longer period of time (e.g. 4-5 hours). And if you do it you will feel tired after that and need to go back to your usual state. The solution is to train that happy state every day through activities that makes you happy.
Like every training after some time you will get easier in this mental state and you will be able to stay longer in it.
It was also mentioned that also your neurology would change and allow you to generate more “happy” hormones like endorphin.
Good luck with the training and be happy!

Positive, negative and no thoughts at all
we already know the secret - our thoughts are very powerful, they create our mental state and they manifest in our lifes. So we should be careful and aware in which direction are they going. Our mind creates the thoughts and the interesting thing about the mind is that unlike a machine it is difficult to switch it off. So sometimes we get lost in thoughts, or is it just by me? :)
Therefore I started monitoring the thought stream, which my mind produces and I will share here the analysis till now. I would define three modes: mode of negative thoughts (mode 1), mode of positive thoughts (mode 2) and mode of no thoughts at all (mode 3).
I prefer to skip the first mode, which is actually the worst one. It’s like a devil’s circle. One thought of worries creates the next one and next one and so on leading to anxious and depression state. Right after finding out that we are in this negative going thought stream we should cancel it.
The second mode is the mode of the positive thoughts. We hear everywhere nowadays about the power of positive visualization, this is actually the second mode. Visualization of positive thoughts and feeling positive emotions, which raise our mental state.
The third mode is the mode of meditation, relaxation and the vu-do state. Calm your mind and stop any thought stream. Just let it go and let it happened.
Anyway I am not so quite sure yet, which of the last two modes is more powerful. On one side the visualization is good, on the other side it somehow prevent you from being in the moment, which is also very important. I would try to mix mode 2 and mode 3 in some way and see where is that going.
Take it easy!
