Especially during this period when we stay at home, the increasing distress and unhappiness affects almost all of us. Well, is there nothing we can do about the situation?
We have all sometimes thought at certain points in our lives that we are crushed under the heavy burdens of life and that we can no longer breathe. In addition to stress and unhappiness, which are the biggest diseases of our age, we feel as if being happy is a luxury, a gift that has not been granted to us. However, this is not the case at all. Psychologist Elçin Akdeniz explained what we can do by saying that the feeling of happiness is a habit gained by working and putting in effort and an emotion that needs to be worked on.
IT IS NECESSARY TO WORK FIRST
Happiness and being happyis a habit that needs to be thought about, put in effort and practice. Just as it takes a certain amount of time and effort to acquire habits, happiness is exactly like that, that is, it is in our hands. Looking at the positive side of things and thinking positively are things that need to be practiced, even if the person does not feel that way at the moment. So, if we want to be happy, we have to play a kind of conscious pollyanna and make it a habit.
HAPPINESS CAN ALSO BE DEVELOPED LIKE INTELLIGENCE
We see some people seem to be happy from birth, while others are unhappy for no reason. Among people, these levels can be innate and vary, such as intelligence. This is true, but we should not forget that happiness, like intelligence, is a feature that can be developed with effort.
As we condition ourselves and our minds to be happy and turn it into a game, being happy can become much easier in these moments when we lose ourselves in flow and despair. The important thing here is that we can teach ourselves to be happy, and for this we set goals and move forward with determination on the path to that goal.
THE EFFECT OF POSITIVE THOUGHT
Many studies conducted over the years have proven this. Thinking positively will improve the situation we are in, even if it is the most negative situation in the world, and if we are sick, it can even help us recover faster. Experts advise patients to stay away from stress. The purpose of telling them to spend their free time with various hobbies is to help the person continue his life in a more resilient way.
There are also specialist doctors in "Happiness Lab", one of the most popular radio programs of recent times. As explained by, happiness is an emotion that can be learned and develops with practice. In short, being happy is in our hands, and for this we just need to work on it patiently.
