Whenever I find myself doing something good for others then I feel very happiness.

It's a psychological maxim that altruism is very healing.

I used to think vacation is meaningful and happy thing in my life, and I heard some mother had said that take care of their little baby is the happiest thing. When I saw their smiling face I think they really were.

Beautiful reply. Their is something about Love, something about altruism, and let not forget about that powerful bond that only a mother and child can know. Thanks for such a beautiful response.

As discussed in mone of my topics regarding the happiness, I would like to mention that happiness is nothing butit is your state of mind! When ever my mind is having a blanced state, free of tensions, worries and fears then I feel happy. I feel happy with any thing then
When the body hormones are in equilibrium , you feel satisfied and your bodt hormonises and keeps itself away from negative thinkings! Your body neutralises the Flight, fright and fright hormone Adrenalin and it is full f the hormones which are re4sponsible for making you feel good! This feel good factor makes me happy!
Have you ever noticed a mother scolding or slapping a child ? It is not that the mother doesn't love the child thats why she is behaving like that, it is because the cause because of which the child is getting the punishment has disturbed her body hormenes so badly that her brain has ordered her body to take sucjh severe action! This has been done under thec influence of hormones! A few minutes later the same mother will take the child to her bosoms and love him/her! Becuase by this time the effect of the hormones responsible for making her happy have got come down!
Thus every thing is governed by the hormones and the mental make up brcause of the hormones is responsible for making one happy! So any thing which brings a pleasant feeling makes one happy as at this time our body produces the hormones which helps us to feel good!
Thanks dea5 friend for an interesting topic! Wish you all the best!

Thank you for your response. You icon is kind of scary--straight out of a horror movie--LOL--take no offense!
Anyway, your answer is fantastic and well thought out. However, if you break down the chemical responses further, we find ourselves going circular into realms of energy. Thoughs are triggered by the bioelectrical impulses, and the thoughts create more bioelectrical impulses. Fun, huh?

i have alote of things that make me happy in my life. When i wake up in the morning and see that i am well, the sun is shining and i see all of nature outside my window, that makes me happy. To know that people i love are loving me back makes me happy. To know that i got the job that i wanted, and that i was offered another project makes me happy. I am very happy that i am healthy and that i have the ability to see and appreciate all of god's gifts in life.

Whenever I am upset I think about my nieces. If I'm at school I can think about how in a few hours they will be coming to my house and I will be able to see them.
But if I know I won't be able to see them, just remembering funny things they did, or said, helps loft my spirit a lot :)

True happiness comes within. Finding humor in difficult situations, focusing on the things that are important, not dwelling on the things that we cannot change, enjoy that which is beautiful, knowing I brightened someones day are all things that make me happy.

watching movies, doing things with my kids. Seeing my kids happy. Seeing my husband happy. Doing things with him. Praying and reading my Bible.

There are many things that makes me happy. The smell of the fresh morning air, the raindrops, when i hear laughters, achievements, celebrations, get together with friends, these makes me happy. When i have more than enough money, eat more than 3 times a day, received a phone call, emails or txt messages, saw my crush, have a wonderful lovelife, travel to other places, or experiences new adventures, then i am happy. There are many things that inspire happiness in me, sometimes i dont even know exactly what it is, i just feel good inside.

Just about anything inspires happiness in me. Seeing a mother playing with their children. Watching a mom holding a bottle for their child to drink from. Seeing a resident that lives where I work at laughing makes me happy. When I am responsible for someone smile or laughing brings happiness to my heart. Seeing a child being hugged makes me happy and the list goes on and on. There is so much if a person really looks with their eyes truly opened that can give you happiness. I find it every where.
