Happiness Now Hypnosis4.9Based on 12 reviewsreview us onDebra Neil15:09 17 Apr 18The personal recordings Mr. Miles makes for you are valuable because you can listen to them at your convenience and they are personalized for your... goals and needs. Best of all continue to work while you rest and listen. Hypnotherapy was really efficient for making permanent and quick change and is was better then regular behavior therapy. The length of the appointments were long enough so that you can get to a real resolution before your appoinment time ends. Highly Recommended.read moreRuby Caldwell15:27 01 Dec 17Completly changed my life! I feel like my life and my marriage has changed for the better.

Happiness Now
One of the most prevalent and recurrent dilemmas that traumatize humans involves the trade-off between present happiness and future happiness. Should one splurge on a cruise or save the money for retirement instead? Should one eat that luscious cake or avoid it for the sake of future health and happiness? Should one tell the boss what one really thinks of him or rein in the anger for the sake of a future promotion?
However, by the yardstick of happiness maximization, it's not clear who "wins". Is it the planner, who postpones present happiness for future happiness? Or is it the hedonist, who "seizes the day," maximizing present happiness?
There's no clear answer. What most people would agree with, however, is the following: there's no point worrying about the future if doing so results in never being happy in the present. Similarly, most people would agree that there's no point being so shortsighted that the future is completely discounted for the sake of present happiness. But where is the sweet spot between the two? Under what conditions should one be willing to sacrifice present happiness for the sake of future happiness?
In this picture, the bottom-left quadrant (quadrant 1) is not important: it represents activities (e.g., eating tree-bark, just to pick a random example) that are neither enjoyable in the present nor have the potential to enhance future happiness. None of us would ever think of engaging in such activities, let alone spend too much time thinking about them.
Not surprisingly, therefore, nothing much has changed despite the recommendations of the social scientists. Society continues to exhort us to chase after extrinsic rewards, and we obey these exhortations like well-trained monkeys. An additional problem with pursuing extrinsic rewards is that they goad us to work harder now for the sake of future happiness, but the promised future never really comes. Or if it does, it lasts for far too short a time. Thus, for those caught in the rat race, what begins as a promising journey, a journey involving a temporary delay of present gratification for the sake of relatively permanent future happiness, ends up in a never-ending sprint on a hedonic treadmill. You find yourself running faster and faster to merely stay in the same place. Indeed, we often don't realize that we have been duped into sacrificing both our present and our future happiness until it's "too late." This is the reason why many people nearing the end of their lives say that, if given a chance to relive their lives, they would focus more on enjoying the simpler things in life than on chasing big rewards.
There are three major reasons why mindfulness is likely to enhance your present and future happiness. First, when you are mindful, you are not weighed down by future worries. This follows directly from the definition of mindfulness: focusing on the present. The present may be unpleasant, but you only magnify its unpleasantness by focusing on future worries. Usually, when we are engaged in an unpleasant activity-such as, a boring conversation-our mind keeps bringing up all the pleasant things we could be doing instead. This comparison of where we currently are (an unpleasant state) to where we could be (a pleasant state) makes us feel even more miserable. If, instead, we focused completely on just the boring conversation, we would feel less miserable.
The third reason is perhaps the most important reason why developing mindfulness has the potential to steer us toward "Quadrant 3" activities. Practicing mindfulness leads you to have better clarity on how to make the tradeoff between present and future happiness. I don't know exactly why or how this happens, but it seems that the very act of willing your consciousness to be in the present makes you realize how much present misery you are willing to endure for the sake of future happiness. Mindful people generally tend to take on fewer assignments, but they do them well. In Covey's parlance, mindful people are better at focusing on things that are important, rather than on things that are urgent. Developing mindfulness also leads you realize that money, fame, power, etc. are not the only, or even the main, sources of enjoyment in life. You discover that the state of complete absorption in whatever it is that you are doing can be its own source of satisfaction and joy. So, you slowly move away from extrinsic rewards and towards intrinsically ones. This, in turn, means that you put yourself in a position to develop authentic expertise in a field of your choosing.
'Happiness is difficult to define and impossible to quantify but according to Robert Graves and Len Lye, writing in 1941, a reasonable case existed for arguing that there was more happiness during the Second World than in the peace that preceded it...' - Times Literary Supplement (May 19 2017)
It would be safe to say that we each are involved in the pursuit of happiness as we understand it. The highest sense of happiness could well be defined as world peace. Wrapped up in this are many other noble pursuits: good health, contentment, serenity, ample income, having fun, satisfying employment, stimulating relationships, sound marriages. Fearless living is certainly included, and this could encompass freedom from fear of disease, accident, and death, as well as everyday security in moving about free from burglary, physical attack, abuse.
Recent studies have associated happiness with genetics. In other words, some believe that we are born either with an ability or an inability to be happy. An article from USA Weekend entitled "Our mood meter" recently asked "Is our potential for happiness genetically sealed?" (January 26, 1997, p. 18). According to the article, research psychologists at the University of Minnesota and the University of Illinois, studying this phenomenon, have determined, ". . . no matter what happens, people tend to return to a genetically fixed level of happiness." The article also says genes may affect your happiness more than do money, love, and work.
Should we try to be happy even though our genes tell us otherwise? Researchers (or "happiologists," as I've heard them called) say some ways to attain a level of happiness are through deep-rooted, intimate relationships, belief in God, adopting achievable, realistic goals, never saying "never," proper exercise and sleep, and smiling.
Many people in this world have looked to Jesus Christ for an example of how to live their lives. Evidently he did not own a house, had no wife or children, and didn't have much money. What he did possess was a closeness to God. He referred to God as his Father. He showed God to be divine Love. He acted with a certainty that God is the one affluent power and that all he needed came from God. According to the Scriptures Jesus lacked no needful thing. His conviction that happiness must be based on what God gives is evident in his declaration "Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you" (Matthew 6:33). The added things he was referring to were food, drink, and clothing, all essentials for human comfort. 041b061a72
