Was macht uns glücklich?

The question after what makes you happy requires an answer that is to be answered differently for each person. For some it is money, for others there are unforgettable moments with friends and family or traveling through world history. As different as we are, the sources of our happiness are so different. The question that arises is now, what is luck and how can you get something as much as possible? To find out more about it, just stay tuned. 

Why do you feel happy?

Neuroscientists have found that the sensation of happiness in the brain develops. If happiness hormones are released in the human body, they can be measured in the reward center. It is assumed that half of our feeling of happiness is inherited while the other half depends on our outer circumstances. This means that our genetic material has a lot to do with how happy we actually are. Of course, other factors also play an important role. 

Can you train luck?

We have already found that our luck depends on several factors. To a certain extent, this is perceived. But as so often, it is also related to trained behavior. We therefore learn from our surroundings, upbringing, etc. how happiness can be felt. If you become aware of this, you have the opportunity to train the ability of frequent happiness. You can actually take your luck, so actually in your own hands. As already mentioned, everyone has to find out for themselves what makes you happy. Once you have done this, you can decide to pursue these activities more often and thus regularly greet positive situation into your life. 

It has already been researched that people who are increasingly moving and on the other hand relaxing are counted among the very happy people. This can be attributed to the fact that these activities Nerve cells Stimulate and are therefore important for the reward center of our body. Happiness cannot be forced, however, since it occurs, of course. Moments when we feel happiness if you do not necessarily wait for it. 

Does money really make you happy?

Although many are convinced that money makes you happy, this usually does not apply. The opposite is rather the case. The more money you have, the more dissatisfaction spreads. With the increase in money, the demands that you put on life also grow. Basic needs increasingly take a back seat, which is why you cannot even feel gratitude for small things. You also tend to compare more people with your fellow human beings and always want to have what others have. 

Has happiness influence health?

A happy attitude to life always has a positive impact on health. Happiness strengthens the immune system and better protects against pathogens. It also carries it faster Wound healing at. Our sleep quality is also improved by a positive attitude. 

Everyone has to find out for themselves. One should only keep in mind that it is not always things like money or belongings. Often it is the simple things in life that make you unexpectedly happy. It is ideal to find activities that address our reward center in the brain so that we can always fall back on it. It is true that you get happily inherited, but this does not mean that you cannot be a blacksmith.

Vielen Dank für Ihre Ideen. Wir konnten ein paar interessante Gedanken für uns selber darin finden. Selbst wenn es das Leben gut mit uns meint, es unserem Umfeld und auch uns selbst gut geht, freuen wir uns im Leben immer über eine extra Prise Glück. „Vivre la vie“ gehört in Frankreich zur Lebensmaxime, bei uns Deutschen bleibt davon ein trockenes „Lebe dein Leben“. Es fehlt das Triumphierende der Sprache, der Aufschrei des Lebens, des Glücks für möglichst lange Momente. Vor unserem geistigen Auge assoziieren wir damit häufig, wie die Jugend in ihrer Unbeschwertheit auf die Dinge zuzugeht, völlig unbekümmert in einem Bewusstsein, dass es das Leben nur gut mit einem meinen kann. Es ist nicht schwer, Dinge zu finden, die einen glücklich machen. Der warme Frühlingswind, die Brise am Meer, das fröhliche abendliche Zusammensein. Auf die innere Haltung kommt es an und im französichen Vivre la vie schwingt etwas wie „Umarme das Leben“, halte es fest, mit allen Sinnen, lebe glücklich. Mit zunehmenden Alter bleibt es die Kunst des Lebens, jene Dinge festzuhalten, die uns glücklich machen. Uns eine gute Portion Unbeschwertheit und Jugend zu bewahren, selbst wenn sich die ersten kleinen Fältchen ins Gesicht graben. Lachfalten machen nicht alt, sie halten jung.Das Leben bleibt uns als Chance und Herausforderung auf der Suche nach Dingen, die uns glücklich machen, uns positiv einstimmen. Seien wir nicht allzu streng mit uns selbst. Halten wir das Glück fest, wenn es uns gefunden hat und lernen wir für unser Leben daraus. Glück schenkt uns Lebensfreude und Lebensmut, lässt uns auch manche schwierige Situation überstehen. Mit Optimismus und neuer Kraft sind wir fähig das Leben zu greifen und die Dinge hin zum Positive zu bewegen. Auf den Weg dorthin müssen wir die großen und kleinen Momente des Glücks pflegen wie eine zarte Pflanze im Garten. Den Boden bereiten, ihm die Nährstoffe zuführen und gelegentliches Gießen, vor allem wenn wir in der Hitze des Alltags zeitweise vergessen an uns zu denken, an unser ganz persönliches Glück.
