TEN KEYS TO HAPPINESS
Physical wellbeing is inseparable from emotional well being. Happy people are healthy people. The wisdom traditions of the world tell us that happiness does not depend on what you have, but on who you are. In an era of materialism, it may be worthwhile to reflect on what really creates happiness in us. The following ten keys, gleaned from the wisdom of traditions may give us some insight.
1. Listen to your body’s wisdom, which expresses itself through signals of comfort and discomfort. When choosing certain behaviour, ask your body. “how do you feel about this?” If your body sends a signal of comfort and eagerness, proceed.
2. Live in present, for it is the only moment you have. Keep your attention on what on here and now; look for the fullness in every moment. Accept what comes to you totally and completely so that you can appreciate it, learn from it, and the let it go. The present is as it should be. It reflects infinite laws of nature that have brought you this exact physical response. This moment is as it is because the universe is as it is. Don’t struggle with the infinite scheme of things; instead, be at one with it.
