Back in Anarchapulco with my unruly dogs and talking about how important it is to get control of your mind to find happiness.
My dogs seem to be happy all the time. Yours probably are too.
Why are they happy all the time and we aren't? It's because they don't think too much! And we shouldn't either!
But, it's not just thinking too much. It's what we think about too.
In today's "walk n' talk", I discuss the steps I've taken to get better physically which has allowed me to get more control over my mind... which has led to me losing my depression and feeling happy most of the time. Something I don't remember having felt in at least 20 years.
Here's more of my thoughts:
In the end happiness is actually a choice. You just need to know how to learn to make that choice. And, once you do, why would you choose to be unhappy?
Perhaps there's comfort in misery for some who have been used to it as a loyal companion for a lot of their life?

I like what you are saying but I disagree. As a kid who was bullied I wasn't able to be happy until I got to college. Now, I'm very happy other than the stress of adulthood and being broke I'm very happy. Sometimes, it's not a choice.

Yes, to be happy, one must have something to look forward to. Caring for someone or some thing (like plants for example) giving of yourself brings real solid happiness. If you can remember to get up and move...just move...energy begets more energy...then your laziness will fade away. you will not be so depressed and will find happiness just from feeling the sunshine on your face.

I'd say the choice lies within how you view your situation. Money isn't happiness. Would you say the bullying made you stronger perhaps? Temporal happiness and long-term happiness are different things I'd say.
I like the definition of happiness Aristotle proposed..'eudamonia'...which is essentially fulfilling our purpose; one of fulfillment. To him, if we practice virtuos activities each day rather than let the doldrums of socialization weigh down on us...we were in a good place.
I stuttered throughout Middle School and High School and took on a whole bunch of 'bullying' and was looked down upon by some who didn't know my true capabilities. When I realized I was in-control of it, for the most part, and became mostly fluent...I reached a level where I'm glad I went through that hardship.
[More on Aristotle here if you're interested: http://www.philosophybasics.com/branch_eudaimonism.html]
I know being broke can be a stressor, but the best I can say is try to take things relatively; as hard as it might seem sometimes....at least you have your life. Many who wanted theirs have lost it without wanting too...at young ages...in tragic accidents, etc.. I know it's easier said that done....but giving it a shot is worth it isnt it?

I agree, it isn't a choice. Being happy or not happy is the effect of a cause. The method is what makes you happy or unhappy. You can chose to do actions that will make you feel happy or sad, but you cannot chose to be sad or happy.
For example, saying someone should just be happy when their Mom dies is extremely naive. Keeping yourself locked in your room won't help with you being happy overtime, but talking to family members and going out will good company will make you happier than sitting in your room.

I grew up dirt poor in roach infested dumps. My parents moved me 16 times from K-12. It was my choice to either use those things as excuses to fail or to overcome them. I overcame them and was successful. Success is not easy for me either. I have to work harder than lots of people. The key to my success though is that I do not give up.
It doesn't matter what hand you've been dealt in life. If you are tenacious enough and willing to work hard enough, you will succeed. There is no good excuse.

Ok, now you know me Jeff, now that I have your attention I always try to slip in a timely question about cryptocurrency. The onegram (OGC) ICO is going on right now and the Royal Mint Gold (RMG) coin will come to market later this year. What about these gold backed cryptocurrencies? Are these the Holy Grail or just another way for a centralized authority to screw up the miracle of blockchain technology.

So many don't realize that this IS a Choice. Even one of the replies to this post above yours and mine says "we have no choice." It's too bad in a way, but I also know every person learns at the perfect pace for themselves. Yes, our emotions are our guidance system, and as much as I knew lots for many years, I never really realized this until a few years ago. It's one of the things we are not taught in school - emotions. In fact, the general teaching of the world mind is not to know about emotions. But once acknowledged as the keys they are to understanding the life journey, all kinds of doors have opened up for me.

YES! I often think about when I started thinking about my emotions, and when I started meditating and doing exercises like the Sedona Method - it feels like I didn't actually have emotions, I had a haze of unconsciousness that came from somewhere. Now, when I understand that how I feel is merely an indicator of what I am thinking, I feel my emotions more clearly and more deeply. And I do have a choice!!
It's as you said, we all learn at our own perfect pace, so it's ok.

One theory in psychology research suggests that we all have a happiness “set-point” that largely determines our overall well-being. We oscillate around this set point, becoming happier when something positive happens or the opposite, afterwards returning to equilibrium.
But this set-point, to a certain extent, can be reset. Although our general mood levels and well-being are partially determined by factors like genetics and upbringing, roughly 40 percent of our happiness is within our control, according to some experts, and a large body of research in the field of positive psychology has shown that happiness is a choice that anyone can make. As psychologist William James put it, “The greatest discovery of any generation is that a human can alter his life by altering his attitude.”
A little effort can go a long way in increasing happiness. Two small experimental studies, published this year in the Journal of Positive Psychology, found that simply trying to be happier could actually elevate mood and well-being. In one study, two groups of students listened to “happy” music — one group was instructed to make a concerted effort to feel happier, while the other group was instructed not to actively try to lift their mood. The group that tried to feel happy experienced the most elevated moods after listening to the music.
People who are happy choose to make happiness among their top goals in life, according to psychologist Tom G. Stevens, Ph.D. , author of You Can Choose to Be Happy.
The secret to happiness could be as simple (and difficult) as becoming more mindful. Meditation — a practice that anyone can do, anywhere, so long as they’re willing to sit and try to silence the mind — is thought to be a happiness-booster. And people who meditate daily report feeling at ease with themselves.
University of Wisconsin psychology professor Richard Davidson found in his research that a meditation practice might help to shift brain activity from the right frontal area of the brain (associated with depression, anxiety and worry) to the left, which has been found to correlate with feelings of happiness, excitement, joy and alertness.
Conventional thinking has it that pursuing success will lead to happiness, but research has shown that it may be just the opposite. Pursuing happiness leads not only to happiness itself, but also to success, according to Shawn Achor, author of The Happiness Advantage.
In his 12 years researching happiness at Harvard, Achor found that cultivating a positive mindset could boost well-being and improve workers’ performance on many levels, from productivity to creativity and engagement.
“People who cultivate a positive mind-set perform better in the face of challenge,” he wrote in Harvard Business Review in 2012. “I call this the ‘happiness advantage’ — every business outcome shows improvement when the brain is positive.”
So yeah it is a choice, but depression is also, and people sometimes chose to be depressed because that connects them with other people. Think about that.

Thanks Jeff,
This is an epidemic, these people depress themselves subconsciously. They are stuck in the rabbit hole and have no clue where the exit is, much less know it exists.
This does not apply to people with real actual problems. Usually these unhappy people have no problems whatsoever which they cannot solve somehow. They usually don't listen and can't focus which is step one to shaking this off. It's a fine line for some and can be changed very quickly, but a few have no cure.
Most importantly, we need to love and care for each other if this world is to continue. We need to work hard to find out what that love and care actually is.
Most of these people are our family and friends, which makes it it extremely difficult to approach. And when engaged we cannot alienate or separate, it will make it worst. If you want to help you must set the scene for them, so they can see the light themselves.

Great inspiring post, After a lifetime of going down the wrong road in life, I to gave up drinking (just over a year ago) and since then I have more clarity on my life goals. Not just because I gave up drinking but by stopping and just getting to know myself, So many of us spend more time getting to know other people then we do with ourselves. Through my journey of finding out who I really am, I'm discovering there's a whole new world out there that i didn't know existed. Just through setting my short term targets to achieving my long term goals and doing something every day towards my goals. Its thanks to people like you I have learnt that instead of just accepting life as it comes, go out and create the life that you want....as we are all creators of our own life story in building our legacy in life. thank you, great post ;-)

Happiness is a state of mind. Every individual has an option of making themselves happy or sad. Personally, I prefer living in a cocoon, with no noise from the outside world. Just myself, me and my cannabis. With time, I have realized that living my on life makes more happy and best of all, more productive.

Great post and video. I like what you said about having the right mindset. If you truly believe something negative about how your life will be, your brain will make it a reality.

I can not Agree any Stronger. In fact the Law of Attraction has come up under a couple names today in the posts I've commented in. I don't want to keep repeating myself.
But suffice it to say, it begins when you allow yourself to drown in Gratitude, then and only then can you form a new contract with Universe.

I would probably be downvoted but i disagree. Yeah you can increase your happines by eating healthy, being physically active, having great support system, but looking at it scientifically your mood and feelings are just chemical reactions in your brain, which you can alter with specific substances or medication, that's why psychiatric medication especially antidepressants makes huge profits, they work by effecting those chemicals.

Disagreeing is not a problem. Disagreeing irrationally is. Yes feelings are chemical reactions, but that doesnt tell if you can choose happiness.

I agree happiness is a choice but is so hard to do when you are being robed by your government and your job. We have to make a decision help our selves or others and in the end I have found that if you help others it comes back to us. It is rewording to bring a smile to someone in need. What you are doing is awesome and words don't express how much of a mentor you have become to us. Thanks

I like what you are saying but I disagree. As a kid who was bullied I wasn't able to be happy until I got to college. Now, I'm very happy other than the stress of adulthood and being broke I'm very happy. Sometimes, it's not a choice.

I enjoy how active you are with posts and vlogging. Keep up your amazing progress. You are inspiring! I have went from basically 100% negativity to about 90% positivity. People actually get annoying with how calm I stay under stressful situations.
You think positive and happy, you are positive and happy. Just like keeping the body in motion to keep those endorphins flowing.
Have a nice day, I'll keep on Voting and RESTEEMING! =)

Nice stuff, and I really do work to be happy, but sometimes I see unhappiness or sadness as a healthy feedback mechanism - we can all self mind-control ourselves to be in bliss via an esoteric style of affirmations, but sometimes sadness can alert us to something that is wrong. E.g. Central banks, Elite control etc. Peace, ww.

Nice one @jeffberwick. Happiness is absolutely something we create inside ourselves and I'm stoked you've found this power inside you. The dogs are your gurus huh? Because we can't always change what's happening around us, but we can always make a choice about our response. And then that has huge chain reactions at every level of our thinking and feeling and neurology and neurochemistry and biology and biochemistry and before you know it you're living in a different body having different feelings and different experiences and life finally becomes something to savor instead of endure. I know this path, I'm on it right now. Big ups to you.

Indeed what you are saying is true but in order to execute the brain needs some work out. I really love to see the way you are transforming your life, it's really motivational and the sad part of the story is people never start when they are healthy , once some ailments hit they wake up. I will watch the video properly once I wake up it's 3am IST now. I hope to get some really helpful n motivational dose to start my day. Cheers!!!

I watched you during a live Facebook broadcast recently, and you were really down and feeling defeated.
Don't let the bastards get you down, brother! You are furthering liberty and carrying a banner that is worthy of any price.
You're not alone either. There are thousands of us standing beside and behind you. Draw strength from us. Laugh with us. FIGHT with us! We'll either achieve our goals or die trying.
Either way, we'll die happy and with a smile on our faces.

Love your work Jeff I believe my son shared a video with me and iI saw a guy that is for real. I found surfing when I was a teen and even though I have had a few events that may seem traumatic like getting hit by lightning twice. I have always had surfing the ocean the sky the fish and the birds. I know I should walk more like you do. No excuses! Aloha!

I'd like to point out another perspective as well.... Even if happiness is a choice..what makes it the 'right' 'healthy' or most valuable choice? I've learned a lot from my suffering, and many painful situations have carved an ability for me to feel and experience even more happiness. So yeah, I actually agree it can be a choice. We certainly manipulate our experiences and ourselves to "choose" the experience of happiness.. But me personally? I want more from life than just happiness.
