Hi Eva, it’s lovely to meet you :) welcome to the community! Maybe I can get you started, I don’t have any happy secrets to share really, but the natural world really makes me happy :).

Hi Typekal, welcome to the community! Lovely to hear from you :).

Pleasure to meet you 😊. I’m pretty new here too. Welcome to the community 🙏

@Julius I suspect that number is much larger now! How many of us is there in the Happiness.com community now?

Hello, I am Tia and I am a new member in this community. Hope we can share and encourage to each other in this gentle community 🤗🤗

Hello All, I'm looking forward to being a part of a community that is open-minded as well as, contains people who are willing to change from good to great. I really believe that is the true progression of life. And if a person finds themselves stuck at a point in life hopefully they may find their way to somebody who will lead them to a better reality. Trust me I know, change can be a scary word or action but, in a lot of cases it necessary.

Meditation helps me a lot too. I started with mindfulness meditation. First few years trying it out allone with the guidance of the books, mostly from Jon Kabat-Zinn, which I can highly recomment. Now I am practicing with a Zen community. Here I come to see how important it is to have an authentic and compationate teacher, who can guide you on the path. It changes my life profoundly in a positive way. Paraphrasing other teachers: Happiness is found in your mind, not outside. Wishing you all the best on your journey, Max

Hi Maxxu, I'll open up some more because I like the way you talk - not looking for advice but happy to engage with you. Forgive me as I wish to give some advice of my own but again because I like the way you speak and want to help. My take is no doubt bias but could still help. Who is not bias ... perhaps that is our purpose to deal with such things. Any ways: Nice to meet you. I won't wish you success (🙂) given your findings with such an ideal to which I have come to the same conclusion. That said I find those terms always creeping back into my speech which says more about our conditioning. Education is where it begins. That said, I do wish you all the best with your personal endeavors. I apologize that I am unable to fill out the questionnaire. May I ask, did you design that questions? I understand you will have to read many text books and give back answers to show that you have read everything and then be expected to repeat everything back in the order it was delivered; more or less I hope that when you become a psychologist that you will develop your own understanding towards helping others rather than relying on those textbooks. I've been on the other side of psychology full time most of my life and I can tell you those practicing whatever whom rely on such findings to questionnaires and the text books that are altered to keep up with them do not end up being much help to those that really need it; those often being the true cost of other peoples success. Jump through the hoops to be sure, I'm just saying that in my extensive gutter education that your not going to get the answers to helping those who become the by product of success (" money and sucess in career did not makes me a happy person") - and I agree for the my disclosed reasons. It's all exciting when still at an age to soak all that excess of information up with all kinds of systematical approaches that can be called upon now having all the answers ... how tall, how heavy, what diet, what country, what demographic and so on. Eventually you will find yourself unlearning it all so that you can actually be of help instead of just being a repeater in system where people are taught to respond. Conditioned people make for easy clients in a conditioned workplace endorsed with conditioned practitioners who hang their conditioned certificates proudly of a conditioned wall. Good working conditions - eh ... don't become one of those. Do jump through the hoops but if you actually want to make a difference ... be prepared to buck the system. Ensure you at the very least become a clinically approved (although you'll have to work harder to come up with your own way of helping people which again will see you unlearning much of it all) ... is often the same with many professions, but 100% the case with and in the healing industrial zone. Anything under clinically registered will see you also being churned up in a system as much as the byproduct you end up with. Trust me I know. General Practitioners (GP's) can practically overwrite a registered psychologist's hard work with a tick and flick. Most of your supporting letters will not get the reignition they deserve. So may times I have had that conversation with therapists who meant a lot to me. If you manage to work your up to being clinically registered you will not have to sign off with specialists that are taught to fix people problems to type of medication and dose. You will be less restricted and more able to work with diagnoses according to the both the so called science and eventually and more important your experience and the skill you develop in listening to clients. The latter way way more important that 'How Tall' - 'How Fat' and so on. I'm not suggesting science does not help, but your entering into a marketing industry that does way more damage than it does good. Burn out rates are high when resisting the pressure to simply become a BOT to which you yourself seem to regonsize having read another post of yours elsewhere in the forum. It's all sunshine and roses with accolades until someone actually wants to help within such great working conditions base on finely tuned programming. Yadda yadda ... I'm gladdened that you feel the way you do with all things excess and success. I feel the same way too. It's a hard pattern to break given the amount of focus on abundance and bliss. Regrettably for me I find the wellness community to be as fallibly as the medical industry. For this reason I rarely fit in and in most cases pushed to the side. In fact I don't know how long I will last here but thus far have kept my posts pretty tame. People run from discomfort as much as they are taught to reject negative feelings. I also struggle to play along with social expectation or give way to peer pressure. I've been kind of blessed with a very unique background that will ensure if there is such a thing as 'coming back' that I will be better prepared. Actually that might negate the purpose of living at all where again the focus on making people accountable for both purpose and contribution equates to the same fallibility as excess and success. This be often be where the by-product of such conditioning are pressured to fit-in or be rejected as no more than undesirable states of low vibrations. Alas this is how we end up with an imbalance with cliché answers - It's all sunshine and roses from there. 🙂 My experience ... although I have to head out on my push bike to better focus later on. The last 10 years since 2012 I have literally had close to one hundred and fifty psychotherapy sessions. Maybe more since I started having more of them. I started my psychotherapy sessions to the tune of once every six weeks on a government subsidized plan. Later this was changed to once every four weeks and then about three years ago when attacked in a road rage incident I ended up getting funding to meet with a psychologist once a week for over a year. Now we have gone back to once every two weeks. It's worth noting during this time I was attending with regularity as someone that knows how to make his sessions work. Due to my previous experience before this last decade I had actually already had couple of previous decades in the system with a very complex story. I did not receive my certificates (chuckles at that) labels which you wont find hanging on some wall, until I was in my 40s. You know I'd love to continue filling you in within the context of your propose vocation ... which Kudos to you ... sounds like it really is a vocation. But I really need to start cycling and grab some sun before it gets to high. Catch up with another friend in the flesh who like me is often on the receiving end of your intended profession. Unfortanley he tends to end up on it involutory. Probably the biggest difference between me and him, but I respect the guy because I understand. His mother recently dispatched herself tragic end which ended in a ball of flames. The extend to which I extrapolate meaningful information is often rejected and banned in many places because it includes challenging information that makes the conditioned feel uncomfortable and thus termed as negative. I tend to like journaling. Not sure how long I will be here. I'm at a cross roads myself and being mindful as can be with such revelations. I go get be some of that stuff for free that awaits out my front door and hope maybe we can chat another time but understand if too much. Again ... wishing you all the very best. Seems to be me you have nailed those terms that fail on so many. If you read any of my other posts you might note that my Dad hails from Singapore and lives in Australia. He used to be a psychiatrist and work at one of the local mental health hospitals. I could say Step Dad but not into that lingo. He did his best. At any rate he gave up psychiatry because the church we were all attending way back then. (Assembly of God during the 70s during a extreme period of evangelical tents popping up all over the country courtesy of America) Basically he was told/conditioned and agreed that psychiatry was the work of demons doing their bidding for Lucifer. He become a GP in a country practice. We kids were all shipped off to various homes for troubled children. That's kind of that in a nutshell. The movies (projectors) they showed at church with people getting their heads chopped off if they did not take the mark of the best did not help. They were pretty weird times that I don't think today's generation would know about if people like me did not write about them. At least in terms of those kind of cults. Just saying I got plenty of experience when it comes to psychotherapy. 🙂 Righto ... three smiley faces is enough for today and we don't want to traumatize anyone reading. hehe. Maybe catch up later? Have a good evening/afternoon and all that. later... you can call me: ~ Dave.

I use to play guitar quite a bit when in my youth. Learning difficulties made it hard for me but I just played anyways for quite a few years pretty much mastering the same songs until a point my OCD gave way to the Native American Flute. Although a different set of harmonics, the latter instrument game me an opportunity to play much more at easily still allowing me to feel the vibrations through my body as I played. I used to love that about the guitar. I'm sorry I can't quite remember the exactly number of key frequency. Numbers are also something that confuse me like words. Chuckles at the irony. That said I'm pretty sure it was earthy enough. I miss my flute as I passed it on. I got a little too self conscious with it as I live in a very cramped community and on that level I am very private. I've only just returned to taking time out in a way that allows positive energy in. On that note I apologize if my tone has been hard on the ears. Without using any instruments or making any noise, I have an ability to sit quietly and simply take in the sea breeze and lapping waves. I live on the edge of a coastal region. At other times I'll just sit among the trees. I've been using biannual feed back techniques so long that I actually miss the silence when out walking. I beleive there is a term today for activities without ear buds - Naked Walking. I think I first head it when I used to be a runner - Naked Running. Of course with clothes on. That's not to say people nude down at the beach do not vibe as well. I can't really say as I've never tried that yet. Please forgive the lengthy text if not your thing. It's very early here. This morning I got up at 3am as still adjusting to a new routine. Actually ... sunlight has been a thing for me of late. I find this probably my number one asset when it comes to resonance. I used to do sungazing although do not recommend it. Sky gazing is much less risk but yields as much benefit. Is not hard to get lost at the right time of day, in the right position with face towards the sun and some binaural beats. But like I say, I also value silence when doing such things. Is kind of a balance act so I don't get too lost but that said I also enjoy the experience of being lost. Hard to explain. Jon Kabat-Zin and Eckhart Tolle are authors that help keep me grounded in this respect. I also like Alan Watts but find I do better having to repeat his lectures and or come back to them after a while. In fact I often do this with all three of those authors. Again ... sorry to go on. 🙃

Tjanks for youd replies everyone I do not come across on the outside as sad. I'm just sad inside. In fact if people knew that I felt lonely they would think I was the last person who felt this way. And i do lòok after myself I hike everyday meditate and have hobbies bug I believe that humans need connection and community to stay mentally healthy we are social animals and that's what I am lacking despite putting in a lot of effort. It's painful when I hear others have their little groups and I am constantly on the outside. It seems very high-schoolish and r surprised that this kind of thing still exists in our 60s. I am feeling that I have to accept that I won't have those close relationships but wondered if others had this experience and although I do appreciate the advice, believe me, I have pursued and still do carry out self exploration different tactics and self preservation. Regards

Hello to you all, I'm Stefanie Lehrter a systemic Coach und a Meditation Teacher from Cologne, Germany. I just found this Community and I really like it. One of my passions is to help people to achieve their goals and become more happy, more self-esteemed and more satisfied with everything they do. Another passion is to spread kindness in interactions and to show people that we can act like a team and don't have to feel like contrahents. So to me this community seems to be a perfect place to be. In my free time I like to do sports and go for long walks with my dog. Or do more relaxing and creative things like reading, writing, playing my Guitar or just try out new creative things. I'm always interested in new ways of sustainabilty in daily life, individual ways of becoming more happy, grow healthy und supportive Relationships in daily life and of course in Worklife. And, probably not surprising, I'm also interested in all the insights of scientific research relating to all of that. My English is not perfect (especially not the written part), so please be lenient with me if there are some misspellings or incorrect grammar. ;-) Oh and one more thing: I just wanna tell you right away that I am very busy at the moment, so I can't say how often I can participate in this Forum. Maybe an answer from me will take a little time, so please don't be upset if it does. For now have a great day everyone and enjoy all the happy moments that come along today! All the best Steffi

A big welcome to happiness Lucy 🌤 How wonderful that you are starting to feel progress on your journey. We're glad you joined our community and hope you find it a great place to give and get support ✨

Joining some kind of activity or class together is a great idea. Also trying to chat to a neighbour that seems friendly, or the people sitting next to you in a bar or cafe could be a way to meet new people. Making new friends can be difficult as an adult, and a lot of us have the same problem. Perhaps a colleague from work could be a potential friend too? We are still a very small community, but one of our features is that you can search for people near you. Maybe another happiness member lives in your area and is looking for friends too! 🙏
