Happy Soul

Hello my dear lovelies,I am so excited and can’t really wait to connect with all of you this week with Everyone’s favorite topic and for which i go crazy about —It’s nothing but the most Fascinating term “Happiness” 😍.As we are discussing about series of body disorders (PCOS, Obesity)and mental Illnesses(Depression) from previous posts, I felt its equally important to dive into this Happiness cafe as many of us are dealing with quite depressive week ever since this Corona invaded in our lives.

The definition for Happiness Varies from Person to Person and it never implies the same for everyone. Happiness is possibly defined by State of being “Happy“.Happiness depends on various factors and they are constantly evolving to new form.Happiness can be felt by our thoughts and they literally can either Make or Break us in no time. Thoughts to Soul are like what food to body .Just like food , Good Thoughts allow us to stay focused , be more productive and lead Joyful Life whereas Bad Thoughts will have negative effect and deviate to wrong path in Life.

The way you spend your time and the thoughts you allow to linger can really impact your Mood and thus your Long -Term Happiness.

Joy and Happiness : Are they Same or Different ?

Generally , we use the words Joy and Happiness as Synonyms and interchangeable as they are one and the same. But have you ever realized the difference between them ? So, lets check out what makes Joy stand apart from Happiness as below:

Joy :

Joy isn’t like happiness which is based upon happenings or whether things are going well or not. It remains even amidst the suffering or any disaster whereas Happiness can be felt when we experience No problems, No arguments , No Traffic etc.

Joy can be experienced by the choices we make whereas Happiness is the result of chances we might have owing to the actions we perform.

Joy is far more intense and has Permanent impact rather than happiness which is condition oriented and only be Temporary based(doesn’t last really long).

Joy comes from within and doesn’t depend on any external factors like What other has to say , what others does and so on. Unlike Happiness, Joy holds positive response and increases amount of Gratitude , Compassion among one’s self.

Joy is more concerned with Connection to God (Spiritual) and thereby emphasizing sympathy in people whereas Happiness is self-centered element which focuses on individual success.

Joy is an ability to experience Content , Peace and Satisfaction from daily life regardless of our circumstances.

Ways to Nurture Our Soul With Happiness :

Your life is like a song that flows easily, seldom with a note out of tune. In fact, the more you nurture your soul, the more happy you feel.

“The joy of Being is the joy of being conscious.”

— Eckhart Tolle in A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose

Do what lifts your heart, tickles your funny bone, arouses your curiosity, and invokes your sense of wonder. Begin to feel more alive, when you begin to savour the joy and beauty that comes from within. Your experience of joy takes place when you are fully in the present moment of doing.

Bring that Sense of Play , Delight , Awe and Enthusiasm to your everyday life and tasks. Remember we only live once and enjoy all earthly pleasures at the most❤.
