Friday Flashback – Chasing happiness

Sadje's avatarKeep it alive

I am sharing this post from September 2018 as a part of Fandango Friday Flashback.

(It’s one of my early posts. I think you will see a difference in the style of writing. I made no changes!)

Who doesn’t want to be happy? We all do! But what exactly is happiness? Happiness is described as a state of being happy!!! And then again, what is being happy? Happy is equivalent to a state of joy or pleasure

So now that we know what is the emotion that is happiness, how to achieve it? And why do we have to attain this state of mind?

The usual expectation people have about a good life is, that it is a happy life. I agree with you and so would about 99% of people in this world. But what makes a person happy is a big variable. If riches are one person’s…

Finding More Happiness

Finding more happiness — by Jim Adams

newepicauthor's avatarA Unique Title For Me

It is thought that happiness comes from three things, those being genetics, circumstances, and values, but I think of it as more of a personal choice where we can all decide if we want to be happy or not in life.  Different things will make different people happy, whether that involves having money, or spending time with their loved ones, first we have to figure out how pleasure works.  Dopamine is most notably involved in helping us feel pleasure as part of the brain’s reward system.  Having sex, going shopping, or smelling cookies that are baking in the oven can all trigger a dopamine release, or a dopamine rush.  This feel-good neurotransmitter is also involved in reinforcement.  Neurons in the region at the base of the brain produce dopamine communicating messages between nerve cells in your brain and your brain and the rest of your body.

Chasing Happiness

With children, grandchildren, her other (sometimes better) half, the kite travelled further, higher, reaching the stars almost. It was through their laughter, she managed to stay sane. When happiness got stuck in a tree, it was her daughter who brought it back down again. When twisting around in circles, it was her husband, taking it by the string, to stop it. As the string got tangled, working together with her granddaughter fixed it again.

Happiness, a kite with ribbon, and string, cost barely pennies, yet every year, just like the crabbing net, brought…

Inspired by Reena’s Exploration Challenge #273 & Moonwashed Weekly Prompt – Willy Nilly

trapped in our own space
listlessly tossed about in uncharted territory
letting depression and anxiety set in deeper

watching what happiness we had drained
if only something forced us to interact willy-nilly
what with our sanity at stake

but would we listen?

Dawn Break

The night is darker than usual, though the almanac says Full Moon will illuminate the skies soon. She walks through many worlds in her dreams and nightmares, while staying pinned to her uncomfortable bed. All this will soon be a thing of the past, but then…. how soon? There are so many pointers to the … Continue reading Dawn Break

Entertainment industry
In its haste to revive
The loss and popularity
During Covid time 
Forgets that
The audience has come out of the trance
It was catering
In the name of
Entertainment
Entertainment, and
Entertainment only
Overlooking the fact
That
People during
Lockdown time
came out of the hypnosis
It Imposed with
The culture of
God knows
Which world
Now on Somewhat on the same wavelength 

( at least some awakened souls)
The public  refuses to be
Entertained with 
The unsubstantial
Provocative
Compositions
