Happiness and your Mental Health

Depression has affected more than 264 million people— yet it can be tough for some people who live with it to find the resources they want. Whether it’s a safe space to share your feelings anonymously, useful self-care methods, or the latest in mental health research, you should know that you aren’t alone. It’s a better world when everyone is in it together, fighting away. 


Your happiness depends on your mental health. No amount of material gains will satiate it. Money is a temporary object for fulfilling happiness, but real mental health is finding contentment within no matter what the circumstances stand. Your future and your past are not there, the only thing is the present. 

Eradicating mental health issues such as anxiety and depression would raise happiness by 20%, whereas eliminating poverty would boost happiness quotient by only 5%. In other words, handling your mental health problems would be four times more helpful at increasing happiness than dropping the poverty line. And the best part is that reducing mental illness doesn't have to cost a penny and creates a better world. 

 

Make happiness a priority

 

According to Layard's Origins of Happiness report aims to transform how the government thinks about human priorities, and to push them to prioritize happiness and well being as a measure of a country's achievement, rather than economic factors. 

Norway was just ranked as the happiest country in the World Happiness Report 2017. Norway took the top spot, followed by Denmark, Iceland, Finland, The Netherlands, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and Sweden. This surely is a mark for making changes and rooting for new beginnings. 

 

You are mentally healthy if you take pleasure in being with most of the people you know, particularly with the important people in your life, such as your close family and friends. Usually, you are happy around them and are more than eager to help a miserable family friend, member, or colleague to feel good. You lead a mostly laugh a lot, have a stress-free life, and hardly ever undergo from the aches and pains that so many people recognize as an inevitable part of living. 

 

Today, the world is fighting a big pandemic. We need more people who are physically and mentally healthy. There is so much love everywhere; all we need to do is look for it. One can go for self-help or just ask another, share their feelings. Sometimes that’s happiness.

Having Grit and Exploring Spiritual Feelings

Resilience is bouncing back from any hardships that any person may face in life, coming back stronger, mentally, and physically from that hardship and moving on to make a more meaningful life. Grit refers to the willpower that an individual shows in pursuing his long-term goals. For any person to demonstrate resilience and high grit, he should have a  positive   orientation in life with profound values and purpose through which they attain meaning in life. It can be assumed that if the level of mysticism/spirituality would below, there will be low grit as well as low resilience observed.  Spirituality is a private belief that acts as a sieve through which an individual perceives and understands the world. It influences how they live, how they react to stressful situations, how well, and how speedily he recovers from moving strain. It gives a sense of meaning to this  gift of life  and may or may not contain belief in higher divine supremacy. People with a sp...
