  1. Hey, Everyone: I decided to give Twitter another chance. Twitter is a lot more benevolent than FB. I am going with the flow more also. I hope to make a lot of friends here. I forgot to add that I am a Reiki Master Teacher and an Intuitive Artist. Lots of love, light, and Reiki hugs!
  2. I've been curious about seeing a therapist as so many of my friends do and say it's absolutely life-changing. So I've heard that there are lots of therapists that offer their services via Skype etc., has anyone had any experience with that? Or any other advice on how to find a good therapist online (or offline!) and generally things to take into consideration. I feel like everyone could benefit from seeing a therapist, but also a bit lost as to where I start. Any tips or experiences would be appreciated!
  3. “Peace requires us to surrender our illusions of control. We can love and care for others but we cannot possess our children, lovers, family, or friends. We can assist them, pray for them, and wish them well, yet in the end their happiness and suffering depend on their thoughts and actions, not on our wishes.” ― Jack Kornfield
  4. Hi, slightly unrelated to the question of how to make friends, but it could still apply! I recently published a kindlebook about 9 principles for happy living. Give it a try and please leave me a review! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XZBRFL6
  5. That good mi too like good friends
  6. Hi Kareemah, I can relate to that. It might be difficult to talk with close friends or family about this topic and it's like a "coming out" moment to be a spiritual person. Therefore happiness.com is created to connect with people like you. I'm happy that you found your way here. What guides you on your spiritual path?
  7. For me , what matters is to feel Human wherever I am , With my Family, friends or at Work . I don't rate success by my Bank Balance or my Job. I rate my success by knowing how I feel. So I dont need to cut off anything as per my life . I only need to build up so that I can give my best at every situation.
  8. This reminds me of the quote: "Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life." However, it's not that easy always. I realised it several times that if I enjoy working too much, I forget about other needs. There exists the four-burners-theory that reflects live as a stove with four burners: family, friends, health and work. The theory says: "In order to be successful l you have to cut off one of your burners. And in order to be really successful, you have to cut off two.” that really hurts! I'm also not sure what to think about this theory. Any opinions about it?
  9. Hi Emma! I have been through what you are experiencing... I didn't feel like anyone around me would understand, friends and/or family. What helped me was to get busy helping others, being useful for someone else. So I engaged in lots of charity works like helping the homeless in London, by cooking and bringing some clothes in some shelters or in the streets of London. Doing some volunteering work in some animal shelters here in Barcelona, by walking abandoned dogs and collecting some money to feed and provide vaccines for the animals. Meditation is very helpful too although maybe challenging to practice at first but I have no doubt you'll feel the results quite rapidly. What is important to know is you are not alone and well done for acknowledging & sharing your feelings as it takes a lot of strength !
  10. I have read recently the following: 'I have found out that there ain't no surer way to find out whether you like people or hate them than to travel with them!'. It made me smile as I recalled some roadtrips I took or flats I shared with some friends...who by the end of it...managed to be out of my life...! So I would somehow agree with that quote...But I thought what are your thoughts about this? What are your experiences? Thank you for sharing!
  11. I only experienced that once, when I went to Ibiza with people I didn't know and shared an apartment with them. It wasn't awful, per se, but I also realised that I'm very different from most people and have my own habits and ways of doing things when travelling that doesn't necessarily match others' ? It was an interesting 5 days, and also challenging because I was the only vegetarian and the only person who wanted to, maybe just one night, stay up later than 10 pm Anyway, from that trip, I learned that I would rather travel somewhere alone and enjoy my own company than feel forced to be interested in people I don't know. I barely even have friends to have a coffee with, so I'm happy I never have to travel with other people again ?
  12. I definitely agree with that! I always believed that it's so true that the best way to know someone for real is to travel with them! I had my memories that the travel ended my friendship(I'm not sorry at all, it was a blessing to see the reality) but my strongest story is that a trip with my best friend reassured both of us why we're best friends and made our bond way stronger.
  13. I definitely learned the hard way NOT to travel with certain friends ever again ? They're still in my life, I just prefer our friendship in smaller doses lol
  14. I live with an old Spanish old lady(76 years) who has 3 kids in the same city but she was totally alone when I decided to rent a room in her apartment . Eventually form a Tenant , Landlord relationship , it became a beautiful Mom , Son relationship. I started seeing her as my source of energy . Her love for me was unconditional and I was wondering how she maintains that energy with no family around her. She made friends with people on the streets and she got rid of her loneliness and sufferings by expressing love towards everyone.
  15. In the little village where I live, I make an effort to greet everyone with a smile or to stop for a chat when walking my dog each day. It's fun, and I get to practice some Spanish on top of that. By now I made friends enough that my 84-year-old neighbour would come by and ask me to get her a new waterpot when I drive to town, or she would give me fresh plums from the garden which I would partially return to her the next day in the form of a cake. I have also learned that people's bodies get old, but many of the older people I chat with a really cheeky and won't let an opportunity to pull my leg pass unused. ? Related to that: Loneliness amongst older people was something I was aware of. A survey by BBC Radio 4 revealed that the age group most affected by loneliness are young people between 16 and 24! https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/latestnews/2018/loneliest-age-group-radio-4
  16. Many of my friends with dogs said that getting one changed their lives for the better. I look forward to the day I can do the same :)
  17. Oh, I need that advice too! Sometimes I don't even tell my friends that something they did or said bothered me and I feel that frustration lives inside of me for days and I try to kill it myself! Definitely not a healthy habit! I really liked the article and since I read it I keep trying to encourage myself to take it as an example.
  18. Such a tricky question! I'm definitely a person who would try and avoid someone and see if the friendship kind of naturally faded away from both sides. I hate conflict and confrontation lol so I'd unfortunately probably be quick to hop on the ghosting train. ??‍♀️ If the person however would not take the hint, or persist in keeping the relationship going I would have to give them the reason to why I don't want to be friends anymore - unless they had done something awful and I did not care to explain myself! It's also hard if you don't want to upset someone in the moment, it might feel 'easier' to be 'too busy to meet' or 'forget to reply in a timely manner' until they give up, but it's definitely not the mature, evolved advice I'd want to give ? /Ghoster_88
  19. That's such a good question! Personally, I think I would just stop responding to them ? And when they eventually ask if something is up, I guess I would tell them why I think we shouldn't be friends anymore. I'm actually experiencing something like this right now. I used to have a friend in Cape Town who was like a sister to me. The last time I visited, I saw her very briefly and we made further plans to have a beach day together before I left. But when the day came, she had to "help her mum hang up curtains". This, along with many other things, made me realise that it's not really a friendship I need to be investing any more time and energy into, so I just stopped texting her. To be honest, it was a long time coming and I think we both realised there's no point in pretending that we still need each other, which is also good because there are no hard feelings. I think in the past I would also just stop hanging out with people until they get the message ?, but now that I'm older, I think I would discuss it with them if they ask.
  20. I have to defend@Enriqueto, @Yvonne because I drink so much coffee too I agree, it's not good but I LOVE the taste and a big part of my morning routine is coffee and breakfast. But I have to admit, after some years I think my body said "enough with this speed" and I started to have heartthrobs. Now I let myself drink coffee in the morning but cut down on it after noon and switch to tea. Besides coffee the habit I love for my mornings is tidying up my house and making the bed. It also helps me to have a nice evening. After coming back from work or having time out with friends, I want my home to provide me with a cosy welcome so finding the house tidy in the evening is important for me.
  21. I couldn't attend this time, and i think I missed something ;). I go to yoga once a week but still don't feel like a "yoga person". The yoga in class I do is very breathbased/ slow yoga and I think many Yoga classes are quite different from this technique. I would love to get to know different kind of techniques, just out of curiosity and such a Yoga conference would have been a great opportunity. I will mark the date for next year and hope to see happiness.com with a stand there as well! A question about the conference: I have many friends who themselves are yoga teachers, they might be happy to connect here with people who already have attended the event to get in touch for more information. For example would you recommened the conference for teachers as well as or is the target group more for students?
  22. I tend to do that too and it can be such an energy thief. I think I have the same technique, I try to busy myself spending time with friends or going to the gym. I think exercising is a great way to take a break from any stress or negative thoughts, and it really clears my head. Sometimes it can also be good to vent with a friend just to get it out of your system. In some cases it feels like nothing works, and then I guess you just have to put yourself in rice ??‍♀️
  23. Uff, i do have that same friend and i couldn´t give you an appropriate advice. Usually i try to convince him to change his view on things and to search for the positive aspects and have a laugh. But just latestly i really got tired of it, because he brings to me so much negative energy and egoism and it makes me feel like a trashcan. In times like this it could take days until i respond calls or messages to him. This feels bad, as he is really a close friend of mine. I think there is no perfect advice. If you want to stay friends keep fighting and try to have some laughs with her. I definitely won’t give up that good friend of mine, but i take my time off, when it gets too much
  24. Hey Stacia, Totally agree. Whenever I'm having a rubbish day or on a downer about my life, I try to stop and think how lucky I actually am and that so many millions of people are probably having things way tougher than I am! This normally gives me a bit of a reality check and then I get on my with my day, safe in the knowledge that, actually, I'm doing OK ?? I'm grateful for many things, but mainly stuff like: nice friends having family a great work/play balance being able to go swimming in the sea! freedom in my sexual life and to be LGBT with no risk of persecution having the chance to be creative all the simple (and free) things, really! What's on your list?
