Don't expect, just accept!!!

Once I visited one of my friend who just did meditation and was upset. I asked the reason. She said my husband talks on phone when I meditate. She said that she needs silence to concentrate. 

I heard a noise coming from downstairs of vegetable vendor selling vegetables. I asked this voice was also coming when you were meditating. This voice is much louder than voice of your husband talking on phone. 

Was this disturbing you? 

She replied that vegetable vendor is doing his work and his voice was not disturbing her. She said she was meditating so she didn't heard voice of vegetable vendor but voice of her husband was striking in her ears every now and then. 

I smiled and said that since you have accepted the voice of vegetable vendor and your thoughts are in line that it will be there and won't trouble so it's not troubling. 

But you have expectation that your husband should keep quiet when you meditate so his voice troubles you. 

It's all in the way you think...If you accept that your husband is doing his work talking on phone, his voice will also not trouble you. 

She also smiled as if she has got the secret. 

It's all in the way we think. If we don't expect anything, we will be happy always. 

So replace expect with accept and see the magic!!!

Four Hormones which determine a human's happiness.

1. Endorphins

2. Dopamine

3. Serotonin

4. Oxytocin

It is important we understand these hormones

as we need all four of them *to stay happy.*

Let's look at the first hormone, the Endorphins.

When we exercise, the body releases Endorphins.This hormone helps the body cope with the pain of exercising. We then enjoy exercising because these Endorphins will make us happy.Laughter is another good way of generating Endorphins. We need to spend 30 minutes exercising every day, read or watch funny stuff to get our day's dose of Endorphins.

The second hormone is Dopamine.

In our journey of life, we accomplish many little and big tasks, it releases various levels of Dopamine.When we get appreciated for our work at the office or at home, we feel accomplished and good, that is because it releases Dopamine. 

The third hormone Serotonin is released when we act in a way that benefits others.When we transcend ourselves and give back to others or to nature or to the society, it releases Serotonin.*Even, providing useful information on the internet like writing information blogs, answering peoples questions on Quora or Facebook groups will generate Serotonin.

That is because we will use our precious time to help other people via our answers or articles.

The final hormone is Oxytocin and it is released when we become close to other human beings. When we hug our friends or family Oxytocin is released. The "Jadoo Ki Jhappi" from Munnabhai does really works. 

So in order to feel more and more *happy* day by day ...

1.*Motivate ourselves to play and have some fun*

*-Endorphins*

2. *Appreciate others* for any small or big achievements 

*-Dopamine*

3. *Inculcate sharing* habit through you to others

*-Serotonin*

4. *Hug* your family, friends......

*-Oxytocin*

Have a Happy Life!!!! 

Happy women's day!!! 

Secret to happiness!!!

Once one teacher gave all students in class a balloon. He asked all of them to blow their balloons and write their name on balloon and throw in the hallway. All students did same. 

The hallway was full of balloons. He mixed all the balloons. Now he asked students to find their own balloon and given time was 5 minutes. 

All students searched but none could find the one with his/ her name. Time was over

Now he said that each one pick one and hand over to the person whose name is written on it. In 5 minutes all balloons were in the hands of right student. 

He explained to his students that these balloons are like happiness. If you keep finding yours, you will never be able to find. 

But if we care about happiness of others, we will be able to find ours too!!!
