Happiness!

Hello to, All My Dear Readers, Followers and My Blogging Friends ❤

I started this blog in September 2015, mainly to spread the messages on Good Health. My main intention was to make You the reader feel “More Positive” and to have that “Faith and Hope” so that you can reach up and make ‘Yourselves Better and Happier”. I kept My Faith and succeeded in My Life. The Beautiful thing is” I have achieved what I wanted through Faith. And then next post was “Joy “Love” and now Happiness 🙂

happiness, in psychology, a state of emotional well-being that a person experiences either in a narrow sense, when good things happen in a specific moment, or more broadly, as a positive evaluation of one’s life and accomplishments overall—that is, subjective well-being. Happiness can be distinguished from other positive emotions (such as affection, excitement, and interest). This emotion often co-occurs with a specific facial expression: the smile.

Signs of Happiness

While perceptions of happiness may be different from one person to the next, there are some key signs that psychologists look for when measuring and assessing happiness.

Some key signs of happiness include:

  • Feeling like you are living the life you wanted
  • Going with the flow and a willingness to take life as it comes
  • Feeling that the conditions of your life are good
  • Enjoying positive, healthy relationships with other people
  • Feeling that you have accomplished (or will accomplish) what you want in life
  • Feeling satisfied with your life
  • Feeling positive more than negative
  • Being open to new ideas and experiences
  • Practicing self-care and treating yourself with kindness and compassion
  • Experiencing gratitude
  • Feeling that you are living life with a sense of meaning and purpose
  • Wanting to share your happiness and joy with others

People from around the world tend to have a similar concept of happiness and can recognize happiness in others. As a result, the specific emotion of happiness is often included as one of a small number of basic emotions that cannot be broken down into more fundamental emotions and that may combine to form other, more complex emotions (in fact, it is sometimes the only positive emotion that is considered to be basic). Thus, happiness is an important concept for researchers who study emotions. When happy people are asked to think back on the conditions and events in their lives, they tend to evaluate these conditions and events positively. Thus, happy people report being satisfied with their lives and the various domains in their lives.

Psychologists are interested in happiness for two reasons. First, psychologists study happiness because laypeople are interested in happiness. When people from around the world are asked to list the things that are most important to them, happiness consistently tops the list. People rank attaining happiness as being more important than acquiring money, maintaining good health. Psychologists believe that they can help people achieve this goal of being happy by studying the factors that are associated with happiness.

A second reason why psychologists study happiness is because a person’s evaluative responses to the world may provide information about the basic characteristics of human nature. One of the most basic principles guiding psychological theory is that people and animals are motivated to approach things in the world that cause pleasure and to avoid things in the world that cause pain. Presumably, this behavior results from adaptive mechanisms that guide organisms toward resources and away from dangers. If so, the evaluative reactions of many people about the world should be useful and revealing. For instance, some psychologists have suggested that human beings have a basic need to experience strong and supportive social relationships. They point to evidence from the field of subjective well-being to support their claim—a person’s social relationships are reliably linked to his or her happiness. Thus, cataloging the correlates of happiness should provide important information about the features of human nature.

happiness is an overall sense of experiencing more positive emotions than negative ones.

Happy people still feel the whole range of human emotions they have an underlying sense of optimism that things will get better, that they can deal with what is happening, and that they will be able to feel happy again.How to Cultivate Happiness

While some people just tend to be naturally happier, there are things that you can do to cultivate your sense of happiness. 

Pursue Intrinsic Goals 

Achieving goals that you are intrinsically motivated to pursue, particularly ones that are focused on personal growth and community, can help boost happiness. Research suggests that pursuing these types of intrinsically-motivated goals can increase happiness more than pursuing extrinsic goals like gaining money or status.4

Enjoy the Moment

Studies have found that people tend to over earn—they become so focused on accumulating things that they lose track of actually enjoying what they are doing. So, rather than falling into the trap of mindlessly accumulating to the detriment of your own happiness, focus on practicing gratitude for the things you have and enjoying the process as you go. 

Reframe Negative Thoughts

When you find yourself stuck in a pessimistic outlook or experiencing negativity, look for ways that you can reframe your thoughts in a more positive way. Reframing these negative perceptions isn’t about ignoring the bad. Instead, it means trying to take a more balanced, realistic look at events. It allows you to notice patterns in your thinking and then challenge negative thoughts.

Psychologists have also shown that goals and aspirations influence happiness. Not surprisingly, people who are rapidly approaching a goal tend to experience higher levels of happiness than people who are approaching a goal more slowly. But research also shows that simply having important goals is associated with greater happiness. Presumably, the sense of purpose that these goals create may protect people from the negative effects of temporary setbacks. Interestingly, the specific goals that people choose may also affect their happiness. Research suggests that choosing goals that are a challenge but not unachievable is important.

Although people tend to think about happiness as an outcome that they desire rather than as a tool that can be used to achieve additional goals, psychologists have begun to ask what function happiness serves. One of the best known theories, developed by American psychologist Barbara Fredrickson in 1998, posits that the function of happiness (or more precisely, the function of positive emotions) is to broaden one’s thinking and to build one’s resources. According to this theory, positive emotions lead people to think creatively and to try new things. As a result, happy people can develop new ways to approach the world, new interests, new social relationships, and even new physical skills. All of these effects lead to positive outcomes in people’s lives.

Tips

Coriander is a member of the same plant family as caraway, dill weed, fennel If you are allergic to these types of spices, you may have some sensitivity or be allergic to coriander. Good-quality coriander seeds are yellow/brown and should release a pleasant, slightly peppery or spicy flavour when squeezed. Light green seeds are bitter in taste. Toasting coriander seeds brings out a richer flavor. Store seeds in a cool, dry, dark place, in airtight containers. This way, they stay well for many months.

Put layers of sliced lemons and honey, until the jar is filled. Stir to make sure the lemons are covered.

  • I recommend slicing the lemons very thinly for best results. I sliced my lemons about ⅛-inch thick. 
  • You can use another citrus for this recipe, too. Oranges and limes also work great. 
  • Since you are eating the rind of the lemon, be sure to wash and scrub before slicing.

What is Dinacharya?

Dinacharya focuses on undertaking certain activities in order to balance the doshas that rise or drop according to the time of the day. By following the Dinacharya as mentioned in Ayurvedic medicine, you lead a more disciplined life and set your daily routine to align yourself with nature and remain disease-free and happy. Here is an insight into the concept of Dinacharya and how it can be used effectively to restore your body’s natural rhythm. Dina means ‘day’ and ‘acharya’ means ‘activity’. According to Ayurveda, it is a daily regime that includes self-care and helps you achieve alignment of self with nature and greater self-awareness. If you follow dinacharya, you can live in harmony with nature, get rid of diseases and stress, improve your bodily processes, experience internal peace, and thus lead a healthier and happier life 🙂

As a cold compress The benefits of using tea bags as a cold compress include:

Easing minor eye injuries. If the eye sustains a hit by a ball, elbow, or other hard object, placing a cold tea bag compress on the area for 15 minutesTrusted Source may reduce pain and swelling.

Reducing dark circles under the eyes. Dilated blood vessels below the eyes may play a part in dark circles. Holding a cold tea bag over the area may make the vessels constrict.

Shrinking bags under the eyes. A cool tea bag compress may improve the appearance of puffiness or mild swelling under the eyes.

Relieving pink eye. Pink eye, or conjunctivitis, occurs when the mucous membranes become inflamed and swollen. A cold tea bag compress may help alleviate some of the dryness and inflammation.

Soothing red eyes. Red or bloodshot eyes occur when the blood vessels under the surface of the eye become irritated. Placing cold tea bag compresses over the eyes may help ease this irritation.

As a warm compress

The benefits of using tea bags as a warm compress include:

  • Reducing blepharitisBlepharitis refers to inflammation of the eyelids due to bacteria, scalp dandruff, or problems with oil glands in the eyelids. Holding a warm tea bag over closed eyes for at least 1 minute may loosen the flakes that are stuck to the eyelashes and prevent oil glands from clogging.
  • Draining a stye. A blocked oil gland usually causes a stye, which is a red, painful lump that grows under the eyelid or at the base of the eyelid. The medical term for this is a chalazion. Applying heat with a warm tea bag compress to the stye for 10–15 minutes two to three times per day may help release the pus and heal the stye.
  • Relieving dry eyesDry eyes occur when the eyes do not produce enough tears, or when the tears evaporate too quickly. Putting warm tea bags on the eyes may release oil from the glands and improve the quality of tears.

There is no evidence to suggest that using a tea bag is any better than using a clean washcloth soaked in cold or warm water, however.

Types

Different types of tea may have different benefits for eye and skin health. Black, green, and white teas have antioxidants and caffeine that may help with some eye conditions, whereas herbal teas may soothe eye irritation and inflammation. Black tea and green tea Black tea and green tea contain polyphenols, caffeine, and certain minerals. Some of these compounds may have protective or disease preventing properties.

heal burns injuriesTrusted Source and scars

soothe burns from sun exposure

prevent sunburn

Green tea may be more effective than black tea due to having higher flavonoid contentTrusted Source. The caffeine in these teas also has positive effects. Applying caffeine may help Trusted Source improve skin elasticity and reduce dark eye circles, as well as reduce swelling Trusted Source and pigmentation.

Chamomile tea
People have traditionally used chamomile tea to relieve eye infections, blocked tear ducts, and conjunctivitis. It also contains flavonoids, so it may be helpful to reduce inflammation.

Calendula tea Some people believe that calendula tea can decrease swelling and help new tissue grow. However, there is limited scientific evidence on using calendula for skin and eye health.

To make a cold or warm tea bag compress for the eyes:

  • Steep two tea bags in hot water.
  • Squeeze out the liquid from the tea bags.
  • To use as a warm compress, wait for them to cool down slightly.
  • To use as a cold compress, cool them in the refrigerator.
  • Place the tea bags on closed eyes for up to 15 minutes.
  • Repeat as often as needed.

The eyes are very sensitive, so people should always be cautious when using tea bags for this purpose. Never use hot tea bags on the eyes and stop using them if there is any irritation. Putting tea bags on the eyes may also be unsuitable for children.

Summary

Tea bags are an effective means of applying cold and warm compresses to the eyes. Cold and warm compresses help relieve the symptoms of many eye and skin conditions. Evidence is accumulating to suggest that black and green tea may be useful for eye and skin health. Always be cautious when using any alternative or home remedies on the eyes, as they are a sensitive area.

The Role of Food in Ayurvedic Medicine.

In Ayurveda everyone has a different combination of three doshas or energy types: Vata (which regulates movement), Pitta (which regulates digestion and metabolism), and Kapha (which regulates growth and support). Anything such as anxiety or a poor diet that interrupt the stability of the doshas, and a number of sub-components, can have unfavorable physical and mental consequences. Once the accurate type of imbalance has been recognized, the practitioner suggests a tailor-made strategy.


The diet is a fundamental element of the Ayurvedic healing practice and a practitioner will question you strictly about yours. He will advise you to eat more or less of specific kinds of food, herbs, and spices—depending on your dosha—with the intention of bringing your body back into balance. When the body is well-nourished and in its place, it is adequately empowered to fight off disease, and illnesses are less prone to occur. Basic ingredients in Ayurvedic diet include basil, ginger, fenugreek, garlic, Gotu kola, turmeric, and sesame seed oil.

In ayurveda texts, dosha balance is emphasized, and suppressing natural urges is considered unhealthy and claimed to lead to illness. Ayurveda treatises describe three elemental doshasvātapitta and kapha, and state that balance of the doshas results in health, while imbalance results in disease. Ayurveda treatises divide medicine into eight canonical components. Ayurveda practitioners had developed various medicinal preparations.

Ayurveda follows the concept of Dinacharya, which says that natural cycles (waking, sleeping, working, meditation etc.) are important for health. Hygiene, including regular bathing, cleaning of teeth, skin care, and eye washing, is also a central practice.

What is Dinacharya?
Dinacharya focuses on undertaking certain activities in order to balance the doshas that rise or drop according to the time of the day. By following the Dinacharya as mentioned in Ayurvedic medicine, you lead a more disciplined life and set your daily routine to align yourself with nature and remain disease-free and happy. Here is an insight into the concept of Dinacharya and how it can be used effectively to restore your body’s natural rhythm. Dina means ‘day’ and ‘acharya’ means ‘activity’. According to Ayurveda, it is a daily regime that includes self-care and helps you achieve alignment of self with nature and greater self-awareness. If you follow dinacharya, you can live in harmony with nature, get rid of diseases and stress, improve your bodily processes, experience internal peace, and thus lead a healthier and happier life

Psychology ~ Psychology!

Hello To, All My Readers Followers and Blogging Friends ❤

I hope all of you are keeping well. Today I thought of writing about Psychology of Psychology. Strange it may sound but suddenly it came to my mind. Let me see how the article will go 🙂

Psychology Officially started as a Discipline in 1879 when the first Psychology lab was established in the University of Leipzig, in Germany.

What is Psychology?

Psychology is the scientific study, analysis, and investigation of behavior and mental processes. Psychologists actively study and understand human cognitive processes, and behavior.

Psychology is the scientific study of behavior and mental processes. Why study Psychology? The study will give you new ways to look at and interpret your world and the people who inhabit it.

The world of psychology contains looks and tones and feelings; it is the world of dark and light, of noise and silence, of rough and smooth; its space is sometimes large and sometimes small, as everyone knows who in adult life has gone back to his or her home; its time is sometimes short and sometimes long, It contains all the thoughts, emotions, memories, and imaginations,

The Scope of Psychology

 As psychology has evolved as a science, its fields of specialization have multiplied and its educational and training requirements have become formalized. Psychologists work in a variety of fields in academic and professional settings. Psychology should be the chief basic science upon which the practices of education depend. It should have supplied education with the information it needs concerning the processes of understanding, learning, and thinking, among other things. One of the difficulties has been that such theory as has been developed has been based primarily upon studies of behaviors.

Personality psychology is a branch of psychology that examines personality and its variation among individuals. It aims to show how people are individually different due to psychological forces. Its areas of focus include:

  • Describing what personality is
  • Documenting how personalities develop
  • Explaining the mental processes of personality and how they affect functioning
  • Providing a framework for understanding individuals

“Personality” is a dynamic and organized set of characteristics possessed by an individual that uniquely influences their environment, cognitionemotionsmotivations, and behaviors in various situations. The word personality originates from the Latin persona. Personality also pertains to the pattern of thoughtsfeelingssocial adjustments, and behaviors persistently exhibited over time that strongly influences one’s expectations, self-perceptionsvalues, and attitudes. Personality also predicts human reactions to other people, problems, and stress. described two major ways to study personality psychology is an attempt to understand the unique aspects of a particular individual. The biggest misconception (wrong thinking) about psychology is that it is not big (rigorous) enough to tackle the big, “important” questions because its methods as a field are limited. While psychology continues to be an important source of insights about human nature and potential, as a young and growing science it faces pressure from all sides to prove its worth.

Clinical psychology is a people’s science, behavioral science, theory, and clinical knowledge for the purpose of understanding, preventing, and relieving psychologically-based distress and to promote subjective well-being and personal development. Central to its practice are psychological assessment, and psychotherapy, although clinical psychologists also engage in research, teaching, consultation, and program development and administration. In many countries, clinical psychology is a regulated mental health profession. All the lessons of psychiatry, psychology, social work, indeed culture, have taught us over the last hundred years that it is the acceptance of differences, not the search for similarities which enables people to relate to each other in their personal or family lives.

Organizational psychologists work with people and organizations. They are experts in areas such as leadership and talent management, recruitment, performance management, occupational health and safety, change management and career development. The Master of Organizational Psychology will provide you with the skills, knowledge and qualifications to work in a wide range of organizations such as consultancies, large companies and government departments. The practical basis of the medical profession rested on psychology. Everyone felt better when self-confident, when Doctors relieved others of the responsibility for deciding what to do. As such, their role was strictly medical.

Educational Psychology: Applied Psychologists working in education study the social, emotional and cognitive processes involved in learning and apply their findings to improve the learning process. Education in all fields are necessary. Education is the Key to unlock the Golden Door to Freedom! When you focus on the Good and the Possibilities You will have more Opportunities.

Health psychology is the study of psychological and behavioral processes in health, and healthcare. The discipline is concerned with understanding how psychologicalbehavioral, and cultural factors contribute to physical healthy. Psychological factors can affect health directly. Behavioral factors can also affect a person’s health. To enhance (engaging in exercise) health. Health psychologists understand health to be the product not only of biological but also of psychological (e.g., thoughts and beliefs), behavioral (e.g., habits), and social processes .Education in all fields are necessary.

Environmental psychology is a branch of psychology that explores the relationship between people and the external world. It examines the way in which the natural environment and our built environments shape us as individuals. Environmental psychology emphasizes how people change the environment and how the environment changes people’s experiences and behaviors.

Cognitive Psychology: Cognitive psychology is the scientific study of mental processes such as attention, language use, memoryperception, problem solving, creativity, and reasoning and  to explain human behavior.
