the graces in my life, adorn.”

The Metaphysics of Happiness

Traditionally, metaphysics refers to the branch of philosophy that attempts to understand the fundamental nature of all reality, whether visible or invisible. It seeks a description so basic, so essentially simple, so all-inclusive that it applies to everything, whether divine or human or anything else. It attempts to tell what anything must be like in order to be at all.

A Formula for Happiness. What exactly makes us happy? Is happiness getting everything we want? Being rich and famous? Always getting your way? Being in a relationship? Being at the top of your game? Being healthy?

Greater personal fulfillment. This should really be the “full name” for happiness. Research by the Journal of Positive Psychology found that meaningful experiences, even if they were due to hard work or some stress, added up to stronger, personal relationships, making a positive difference and better self-expression for one’s own personal satisfaction (and happiness). As opposed to fleeting, less connected moments of joy or short term goal fulfillment. Another words, happiness comes from the long term goals of self awareness, making a difference in other’s lives and those things, which give us a sense of purpose! What ever your idea of happiness, research has found that a great deal of unhappiness stems from negative thoughts.

A Formula for Happiness. What exactly makes us happy? Is happiness getting everything we want? Being rich and famous? Always getting your way? Being in a relationship? Being at the top of your game? Being healthy?

Life coach Pete Cohen, who co-wrote this study on happiness, developed this equation based on research done in Britain. Cohen suggest  “Most people probably don’t know what happiness is, they think happiness is perhaps having lots of money or a big car, or a big house. But people who have all these things are not necessarily happier than people who just enjoy their life.” This formula was worked out by psychologists after interviews with more than 1,000 subjects.

Happiness = P + (5xE) + (3xH)

P stands for Personal Characteristics, including outlook on life, adaptability and resilience.

E stands for Existence and relates to health, financial stability and friendships.

H represents Higher Order needs, and covers self-esteem, expectations, ambitions and sense of humor.

Are You Happy?

Ask yourself these questions. Each person who completes the questions ends up with a rating out of 100. The higher the score, the more happy they are. Here is how to work out the answer: The questions should be answered on a scale of one to ten, where one is “not at all” and ten is “to a large extent”

Add the scores for question #1 (one) and #2 (two) together to find your P value. The score for question #3 (three) is the value for E, and question #4 (four) for H:

1. Are you outgoing, energetic, flexible and open to change?

2. Do you have a positive outlook, bounce back quickly from setbacks and feel that you are in control of your life?

3. Are your basic life needs met, in relation to personal health, finance, safety, freedom of choice and sense of community?

4. Can you call on the support of people close to you, immerse yourself in what you are doing, meet your expectations and engage in activities that give you a sense of purpose?

Happiness = P + (5xE) + (3xH)

You can find the work of Life Coach Peter Cohen in Feeling Good for No Good Reason

Remember, you do not need a formula to bring happiness into your life. Happiness is not just a life lived by accumulating moments of pleasure. Happiness is a rhythm, an order, a balance. We choose to be happy.

10 Tips for Happiness

What ever your idea of happiness, research has found that a great deal of unhappiness stems from negative thoughts. That is, not acknowledging what you have that is important in your life or mentally blocking yourself from the gratitude, humility and self-love or appreciation, that really shows you what happiness is, probably because you are too focused on negative thoughts.

Get happy

The Gratitude Project

Expression of gratitude gives you a greater sense of purpose in life. Those who reflect a grateful attitude are less depressed, less stressed and realize all the good things that keep coming their way. This is the Law of Gratitude or the Law of Cause and Effect. Your thoughts are the Cause and reality the Effect. If you want to change your reality, you must change your thoughts.
