What Is Happiness?
What is happiness?
Oof, big question!
What is this big thing that so many of us spend our lives trying to find?
Do you actually know specifically?
How will you know when you have it?
What happiness looks and feels like will vary from one person to another, yet we all feel like we’re chasing the same thing.
It can feel pretty elusive and hard to nail down.
I could ask 500 of you what happiness meant to you and end up with 500 different answers!
It’s another part of our collective human experience that we may have never even thought to question or dig into.
Like so many things. We walk around on auto pilot making assumptions based on our own maps of the world and think that everyone else thinks the same as us, or should think the same as us.
But sometimes even that part isn’t clear. What do we REALLY think?
This is why I love digging into our own psyches. It’s SO fascinating when you really look into the things we believe, think and feel. It’s so subjective and can often be changed simply by daring to look a little closer and pick apart our unconscious programming and natural learned protection mechanisms.
It’s also entirely likely that me asking you this question today, and in 10 years time, and 10 years ago, would have completely different answers.
And yet we can feel like we’re chasing this elusive happiness without realising we might already have it.
It comes down to perspective again. You might have something big going on that isn’t ideal, but could you still be happy underneath it all?
Can you have that not ideal thing going on and not judge it or transpose it over to all other areas of your life and still be able to say you’re happy?
To some people happiness might be joy, elation, laughter.
To some it might look and feel like peace and contentment.
To some people it might be love and connection.
To some people it might look like passion and purpose.
To some it might be high levels of self esteem and pride.
To some it might look and feel simply like acceptance.
So what is it?
Is happiness something that it’s realistic to expect to feel all the time?
Is happiness a fleeting feeling or a more general state?
Is it a passive or active state? Meaning, do you have a responsibility in it or is it just something that happens to you?
I often love doing a little deep dive into what certain emotions and feelings really look like for me. Without society's opinions and the opinions of other people.
Really allowing myself to dig in and essentially create a map of that emotion according to me.
