Posted on Tuesday, 20 March 2012 by Punjabi Articles


Are you truly happy? Do you even know what it means to be happy and what it takes to achieve happiness? These are important questions for anyone who is seeking happiness to ask themselves. I live my life to maintain my own happiness while trying my best to not cause unhappiness to anyone else. 

Understand what it is that will make you happy. Everyone has unique requirements for attaining happiness and what makes one person happy may be very different from what makes someone else happy. Revel in your individuality and do not worry about whether or not your desires are comparable to those of your peers.

Make a plan for attaining goals that you believe will make you happy. Your mood will very likely increase as your pursue your goal because you will feel better about yourself for going after something you value.

OLD PEOPLE REMEMBER HAPPY MOMENTS MORE THAN THE NEGATIVE ONES

Posted on Wednesday, 11 January 2012 by Punjabi Articles


Some psychologists have called for better research on the theory, which says older people appear to be happier because they tend to focus on and remember positive events leaving behind negative ones.

“There is a lot of good theory about this age difference in happiness, but much of the research does not provide direct evidence” of the links between such phenomena and actual happiness, said psychologist Derek M. Isaacowitz of Northeastern University. Isaacowitz and the late Fredda Blanchard-Fields of Georgia Institute of Technology have argued for more rigorous research.

Working moms happier than stay-at-home moms

Moms who embrace jobs are healthier and happier as compared to the moms who stay at home at the time of children’s pre-school years. 

Researcher analysed the National Institute for Child Health and Human Development Study, beginning in 1991 and involving interviews with 1,364 mothers shortly after childbirth, including subsequent interviews and observations for a decade. 

"In many cases, the well-being of moms working part time was no different from moms working full time," said Cheryl Buehler, professor of human development and family studies, University of North Carolina, Greensboro, who led the study.

Our age defines happiness for us

Posted on Saturday, 6 August 2011 by Punjabi Articles

Happiness, it is said, is all a state of the mind -- and a new study has revealed how young and old people experience completely different emotions when they say they are happy. Researchers have found that young adults find it difficult to find joy without excitement and for children the two things are virtually inseparable, Daily Mail reported.

 For young people, around 60 percent of happiness is all about excitement, say scientists.In contrast, as we get older we associate 80 percent of happiness with 'contentment'. 


The study indicates there are at least two quite different kinds of happiness. In a study of different age groups, Cassie Mogilner, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania, said: "We are talking about two distinct types of happiness, one associated with peacefulness and one associated with being excited.

"Whereas younger people are more likely to associate happiness with excitement, as they get older, they become more likely to associate happiness with peacefulness."

Young individuals, who are generally more interested in future, base their happiness more on excitement, said Mogilner. However, older people place a higher value on the present, hence, contentment tends to be a greater source of happiness for them.
