How to be Healthy, Happy and Wise


A Pathway to Authentic Happiness, Well-being and a Meaningful Life 

Happiness, say the positive psychologists, is the experience of joy, contentment, or positive well-being, combined with a sense that life is good, meaningful, and worthwhile.
Twenty-three hundred years ago, Aristotle concluded that, more than anything else, men and women seek happiness. It is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence. Different men seek after happiness in different ways and by different means, and so make for themselves different modes of life.
What is the pathway to authentic happiness, well-being and a meaningful life? How can we equip ourselves with sustainable scientific tools to cultivate a happy and fulfilling life with a greater sense of well-being? This article attempts to answer these questions.
Taking care of body, mind and spirit is of utmost importance. It’s like a tripod. All limbs must be equally strong for balance and harmony. We need to transform the entire experience of life by taking care of all the relevant dimensions – physiological, psychological and spiritual.
After years of deep study and practical sessions with people from all walks of life, a holistic approach has emerged that blends carefully the best of positive psychology, meditation, yoga, laughter yoga, and spirituality.
Positive psychology is the science of happiness. It provides authentic understanding of happiness and well-being and dispels myths and wrong notions about happiness. It is a treasure trove of evidence-based happiness-increasing strategies from which one may choose activities suitable for oneself.
Meditation is an invaluable tool for calming, concentration and purification of the mind. It clears clouds and lets you seek wisdom. According to Matthieu Ricard, happiest monk on this planet, “Meditation is a practice that makes it possible to cultivate and develop certain basic positive human qualities in the same way as other forms of training make it possible to play a musical instrument or acquire any other skill.”
Yoga can do wonders for your health by stimulating endocrinal systems and taking care of neuro-muscular systems. It is suitable for modern day lifestyle diseases and brings about body-mind union. If you don’t have enough time, even then surya namaskara can be easily integrated into your daily life as it requires only five to fifteen minutes’ practice daily to obtain beneficial results remarkably quickly.
Laughter yoga combines laughter exercises with yogic breathing. It is instrumental in oxygenation of the body, strengthening immune system, and stress relief as feel good hormones known as endorphins are generated during the process. Just ten minutes of gentle laughter in the morning can change the complexion of your day.
Spirituality provides right view and right understanding of life. It gives spiritual insight into right speech, right action and right livelihood. Inner wisdom steers us in the right direction. If you desire everlasting health and happiness, cultivate wisdom.
All the five components - positive psychology, meditation, yoga, laughter yoga and spirituality - put together, enable complete transformation of the entire experience of life.
The benefits include health, happiness and peace for individuals; stress relief, team building, higher productivity, leadership and positivity at workplaces; health, bonding and integration in communities; and creativity, better concentration, emotional intelligence, spiritual growth, strong immune system and all-round personality development of youngsters.
In conclusion, may we say that the practice of yoga, meditation and laughter yoga along with fundamental understanding of positive psychology and spirituality can lead you to lasting happiness and peace.
