Sometimes if feel like happiness is the most important thing in life because if we don't smile or express our emotions then we cannot live our life to the fullest. Sometimes making other people happy also makes us feel good. Like just a small smile to a stranger can maybe make their day or bring a smile to their faces. Even if we are in difficult situations or having problems etc. Doing small deeds like helping people or just randomly smiling to strangers or giving your mom/dad a tight hug. These small things make us and people around us genuinely happy ❤️🌍

This is only her 2nd relationship in her life, she was with 1 guy from high school until like 8 years ago. People hated that guy because he was extremly toxic and didn't let her see anyone especially males but she stayed because she loved him even after they broke up she was trying to get him therapy and was trying to fix him and he lived with her. So apparently she has a thing for these types of toxic guys. I dunno what that means though. But when she said she's working on trust with him so cleared off all her male friends and wont be able to hike with me anymore once a year or talk on the phone I knew right in that instant he was sabotaging my friendship with her the entire time which is why the friendship started going 1 sided. She was with him for 2 years, they broke up and she was panicing so much she went to the hospital and the doctor said it was just a broken heart. Once I found out they broke up I was right there talking to her on the phone like 3-4 times every month checking up on her, texting her all the time making sure she was ok...she even surprised me wanting to see me after her work for some food and sit down at the ocean. A few weeks later we hiked and I thought she was doing much better so I told her I would talk to her in a couple months, she hated that but I stuck with it, pretty much after that things between us took a huge drop off. A year and a half later here we are with this thread.

I couldn’t be more thankful for your words. I’ve really been diving head first into life for the past year or so. I had invested myself into things in the past that blinded me from the realities that come with living life everyday. I’ve been learning so much about myself it’s unreal. I really do feel myself maturing mentally/emotionally and I’m looking forward to only getting better from here! I’ve always been told to love myself and to me it meant just physically (like eating healthy, exercising, etc) but recently I think Ive gotten a better grasp as to what that actually means. I never once imagined myself on a forum like this talking about my feelings but I am more than glad that I did. Thank you so so much :)

Hello Peety, your post breaks my heart, because losing your furry companion who has been with you for most of your life is so hard! I have a 13 year old cat and I have always imagined what I would do when she died. I couldn't even finish that thought. But what @eleno writes is right: Your little tiger had a wonderful long life by your side, you gave each other lots of love and she is still a happy kitty now who will continue to be with you in your heart. What helps me when grieving for someone is to talk to him/her as often as possible, about your feelings and fears. Just taking some time, thinking of their purrs and especially thinking of all those wonderful moments you both had. The pain inside you is still terribly big and overwhelming now, but it will get smaller with time and eventually you will realise that you will feel nothing but love. I send you lots of strength❣️

Hello I'm new to this, so i don't really know how to do this. I just wanted to share my thoughts and feelings. English is not my first language so i apologize if something isn't written correctly. My cat just died yesterday, she was already pretty old. I'm 20 yo. and she was in my life since i was 2 yo. It was already clear that she will die soon, but it still was hard to actually see it happen. On 2.10 we already saw that it is comming to an end. She lossed alot of muscles and didn't walk anymore. Over the night from the 2.10 to 3.10 she lost all kind of body fluids. So we (my mom an I) decided in the morning that we go to a docter and put her down. So at 2pm we went to the doctor. That was the first time I started crying and I didnt stopt until we left the clinic. During the whole procedure she was in my arms, she died in my arms. After that we drove to my dad's garden and buried her. Through the whole procedure I was crying and thought of all the things that i went through with her. She was there my whole childhood, i can't remember a life wothout her. The rest of the day I talked to my friends about what happend. I went to bed still sad, but not crying anymore. Today i couldn't go to school. I'm not crying and I feel numb. I have no enegy to do anything, even tho I sleept 10 hours. I dont feel hungry or any other normal human need. You could say im kinda lost. I dont know what to do. I know the death just happend, but I want to be able to properly grief. I already have depression an anxiety so i'm scared that this could lead to a big problem. I dont know how to cope with this. On top of all that I still have other Proplems/serious issus. So if someone has some advice on how i can cope with this i would be happy to hear about it.

This is going to sound like I’ve had & lost a best mate with that exact problem Rod so forgive me if I say anything that goes against community standards. All I can really say is this, Mike (old best mate) was not the oldest of siblings, got married young, got a good role young too. exactly like you would comment how everyone uses him as the go to guy for every issue expecting him to be his usual self because why on Earth would he, & he did, he did until his business that was started right prior to Covid & the man’s marriage collapsed in 2010. But theres a kicker, the worst of the worst, his older brother was convicted of child sex offences & it came out he was a victim also to which his Mother who couldn’t come to grips with what her oldest son had done & made life just that more terrible. Now i don’t know that any advice or info that could of been given to Mike that could of saved him from any of his short comings all that i know is that he is possibly one of the 40% who can physically not help but to fall into cognitive dissidence & the behind the scenes talk of the plandemic i feel was his biggest issue. I say 1% controlling the maj, 40% blindly, never critically thinking, good for business types & that leaves 59% of the burden of changing the direction of a tyrannical elite who wish to play God when their own science books cannot explain why a Sharman can undergo a soul retrieval for a client who at say age 7, their Father left them & their Mother ipso facto while going beyond the veil & down into the underworld a piece of said soul fled as to not be destroyed & why that Sharman can find a 7 year old peice of clients soul down there without being told about when the father left in the first place. Then if i was to say that if those now empty areas of your soul/energy bodies can be used by other trickster/ poltergist spirits that hang around after death as dwellings & we can as humans have multiple spirits dwelling in us or we would be called possessed & is any of that pretty important spiritual information spread by your TV or radio? God NO. Good luck Rod if you made it to the bottom of this without feeling your blood boil from me being typing honestly you just might be

Welcome and thanks for sharing your story. First of all, it is totally up to you, how you would like to handle N. I'm just telling you, what I think. I think the people in your family are the ones who know you the longest time, who has been there for you all your life and who you are most important to. Personally, I consider my girlfriend as a part of my family, but that's an exception. So no matter what happens, I would tell my family the truth, because they deserve it and because they can support me in the best way if they know it. For me, there are different categories of physical assaults. An accident is something unintentional, so it can be forgiven after an apology. A harmless attack can be playful or because of rage. That might be forgivable too. But for me, there is a red line when someone intentionally tries to harm you. He could have stopped after the push, but he contunued until you had to go to the hospital. Eveyone gets angry sometimes, but there is this line you don't break, no matter how angry you are. So I couldn't trust him anymore. You don't know if or when something like this could happen again, so I would end the friendship.

I know people like her. I think, she will always want to be in control of her life and she would not like to be dependent on someone. So if she has a problem and she wants to handle it by herself, you will have to respect that. That can be pretty hard for you, but it will take a long time like years until she accepts help or gifts. So the good thing is: She will probably not use you. Since she is very empathic, another challenge can be to make her tell you her true opinions and wishes. So she might say something, just because she doesn't want to bother you, even though she secretly wishes the opposite. It can be very complicated and drive you crazy. For example: She would like to meet, you would like to meet, but she says you shouldn't meet, because she doesn't want to require you to drive that far. That can be very tricky. I would recommend to start things slowly with some kind of friendship. You can start with some common activities, show your interest by asking her about her day and make her smile with funny comments. When she has a problem, you should offer your help, but be ready for a lot of rejection. Good luck.

Hello I am new to the community. I am interested in meeting like minded people, blossoms into my life through 🧘🏾‍♀️ meditations, reiki, communication, and learning internal capabilities of living my authentic self. 🦋

I live in Spain and we've been one of the hardest hit countries, according to the numbers. I don't know what 'normal' means for you, but we've since come out of a severe lockdown and are now back to a life that was somewhat like before, but not quite, as this long period of silence and quiet for many was a blessing in disguise to contemplate and reflect on what we thought was the way to live life. The 'new normal' as I like to call it, sees our once tourist overrun city returned back to the people who were born and live here permanently. People are happier, calmer, and have a new lust for life. Local travel and consumption has increased, and I think there's a greater appreciation for nature and others. So whatever the 'normal' was before the virus hit the world, I am glad that we didn't go back to that. This new normal is a better way to live for everyone, in my opinion.

Mental health includes emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, act, make choices, and relate to others. Mental health is more than the absence of a mental illness—it’s essential to your overall health and quality of life. Self-care can play a role in maintaining your mental health and help support your treatment and recovery if you have a mental illness. If you or someone you know is struggling, find support. This might be a friend or a family member. Or it could be reaching out to our mental health provider or a mental health professional who provide therapy to children, adult, or adolescents.

Hi everyone, My first meditation 10 years ago i experienced something that felt like it was almost impossible to believe. I was in bad place (literally). I needed something to keep my mind positive and a friend suggested me to start meditating. I asked him how to to this and he told me to lay down on my bad with my eyes closed and start focus on my breathing. Then he told me to try and be in between all my thoughts and no thoughts at all. He then said that after a while i would feel itchy in places (like there was fly on my face or something) and not to scratch but keep my focus. I was doing exactly as he said and like he said i started experiencing this itchy feelings on my face. Something i added to this naturally was that while i was doing all the above i kept focusing on my third eye. Without really knowing much about the third eye this is something that came naturally to me. Suddenly i entered this black space filled with nothing. I don't really remember what was going through my head at the time but at one point i start seeing this huge black shimmering face. At first it felt peaceful but it quickly switched to a very dark feeling. I sort of was intrigued about it and kept calm trying to understand what was going on. Then suddenly it started communicating to me i a telepathic way. Immediately it start saying all this psychotic this about killing people. This is when i got really scared and tried to start thinking of positive things to make this go away. I start thinking of my loved ones, the people i care about. Then the voice in my head start saying to kill all the people i was thinking about. my beloved ones.) At this moment i really panicked and tried to open my eyes again. I could't open my eyes immediately like something was holding me in there. When i finally opened my eyes the whole room was spinning around rapidly, my whole vision was distorted. It also kind of felt as if i was elevated from my bed. The distortion went on for 10 seconds or so slowly getting back to normal but my mind kept repeating the words kill mom, kill this person, kill that person... I was freaked out about this as it went on for another 20 minutes or so. Afterword everything went back to normal and i didn't meditate for a long time. I never experienced something like that before as it felt unreal something like that could happen in real life. I'm now meditating again and never experienced anything like that again. Can anyone explain this to me please?

Happiness is when you are at peace in life with all the circumstances. Happiness is not about enjoying any pleasures, it's about how you handle the situations of life In a more stable way so that you have a peace of mind. Happiness is when you smile internally, when the smile comes out from the core of the heart, it's when you are kind to others and shine positively.

Cody, I also have a very in depth video on HOW to meditate. On this journey, you will hear many rules. "You should meditate sitting up," "you should have no thoughts," "you should meditate for X amount of time," "you should meditate in the mornings," etc. At the end of the day, it's about figuring out what works best for you. If you are not a morning person, let's say, finding 15 extra minutes during a time you sleep in and barely get out the door in time will work against you. If you spend most of your time feeling uncomfortable while you meditate sitting up, you aren't going to stick with meditating for long, as another example. If you really only have 15 minutes to meditate, but you hear advice saying it should be 30-45 min each day... the rest of your life will take a hit and you again won't stick with meditating in the long term. And if you don't spend the 30-45 min others advised you to, you'll feel guilty or like you're missing out. I talk about that and many different ways to meditate. From working with colors, to chakras, to silence, to mindfulness, to guided. Lengths of time, sitting up or lying down, and much more. I hope it serves you ❤️

Fundamentally, mental health and life coaching all seek to reveal what lies beneath the surface and help support those with mental health challenges. They accomplish this by asking the right questions that allow you to dig deep and find answers within yourself.

Hello I’m new to happiness and I’m sure this is where I need to be to work on finding happiness. I’ve just within the last year or so been getting into the spiritual side of life.

First of all, this is no critique of anyones lifestyle. I would just liketo share my thoughts and get some opinions and experiences. My motivation: I hate factory farming, where animals are suffering under bad conditions. And when I really think animal suffering through, I see that human made animal suffering could be avoided if humans would live the vegan lifestyle. Of course animals would still be eaten by other animals and would still starve to death in nature, but it would still make a big difference. My current situation: I'm not a vegetarian and I'm not a vegan yet, because I ate meat, fish, milk products, honey and eggs for all my life and a lot of traditional family recipes contain this type of ingredients. And since I was taught things like "fish is good for me" as a kid, it's hard to totally forget about that. But since vegan food is a part of "normal food", naturally, I eat vegan multiple days of the week. And when I eat meat, I look for good farming conditions, because I don't want animals to suffer more than necessary. When it comes to clothing, I still use real leather stuff I bought years ago, because it is very long-lasting compared to synthetic alternatives in my experience. My priorities are: 1. Health 2. little suffering 3. environmentally friendly My progress: I got used to have soy milk or oat milk in my coffee. I eat less meat and more baked beans. Doubts: Since my first priority is health, there is already a problem with missing vitamin B12 in vegan milk. The only effective way to get vegan vitamin B12 is eating nutritional supplements, which doesn't look very natural to me. It feels a bit wrong, because appearently, the human body is not meant to eat vegan only. While cows, horses and many other animals are able to generate vitamin B12 from plants, humans are not. I mean, you can probably feed a tiger plants and keep him alive with supplements, but it would be wrong, because the tiger is meant to eat animals, right? I still try to find the right way for me, but it's complicated. In my opinion torturing animals is wrong. If you have to lock them in, give them space to move as natural as possible. But even vegan products can be bad for the environmentand animals (palm oil). So unfortunately doing the right thing is a lot of work. I would have to read all the ingredients and check all the working conditions in every step of production from everything I buy, to do the right thing. I would love to read something about other lifestyles, your ways to do the right thing and maybe some advise and solutions to help me find my way.

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
