He Makes Me Happy Quotes Biography

I've been thinking a lot about happiness lately--obviously, a blog called Chasing Happy has at least a mild happiness-related slant, right? I've also been taking the Everyday Happy e-course, reading a book on happiness and creativity, and enjoying my favorite season (which totally makes me happy). So you could say it's been on my mind.

One of the things that's been rolling around upstairs is the idea that "happy" means something a little different to everyone. We all want to be happy--that's a given. For some of us, that means experiencing excitement or joy. For others, it means calmness and inner peace. For still others, it means contentment with the things we have and a sense of acceptance in our lives. That's a pretty wide spectrum of emotions, but they all make up someone's definition of happiness.

Funnily enough, it's not too hard to anticipate how one person's definition might differ from another's. Are you extroverted? You're probably going to gravitate more toward intense (or "high arousal") emotions like excitement, joy, or surprise. If you're an introvert, on the other hand, your definition may include less intense emotions like contentment or peace. We're all different, of course, so this may or may not hold true for you--but in general, it's pretty spot on.
So how can we use this to make ourselves happier?

Start by simply recognizing that what makes you happy will be different from what makes your best friend, spouse, brother, sister, or coworker happy. Acknowledging this fact will 1) help you stop wondering if there's something wrong with you because you don't get excited about things the same way your husband does, and 2) help you figure out how to encourage someone else's happiness by identifying what they include in their definition.

Next, try to expand your personal definition. The more limited your definition of happiness is, the harder it will be for you to achieve. So, let's add some layers/nuances to it! Get out a pen and paper and list as many positive emotions as you can think of. In some way, experiencing each of those emotions contributes to your overall happiness, even if you've never recognized it in the moment. Add to your list over time, and do your best to acknowledge and savor these happiness-supporting emotions when you experience them.
