Positive Psychology!
An interesting article I read talks about a new branch of pyschology. Psychology by itself interests me a lot. When it talks about feeling good and creation of happiness.. i think its definitely worth a read by anyone...
POSITIVE Psychology is a relatively new branch of psychology that studies what makes life meaningful, what brings happiness, and what promotes mental health. Research and thinking in Positive Psychology holds that there are three paths we take to feeling good and creating happiness in ourlives:
Gratifications don't have the same ease as do pleasures — they take some effort — but their impact grows with usage, rather than diminishing. Much of what creates a healthy love relationship can be classified in the realm of gratification: listening well, performing kind acts, and doing other things for our beloved. That's not to say that love is just one big gratification, and that all gratifications are based in love, but there is a correlation there, definitely.
The third main path to happiness is meaningful activity. By committing ourselves to activities that promote meaning in our lives, we can achieve the greatest feelings of fulfilment, both professionally and personally.
