this is a great question.

I've always been generally quite happy, but over the past year or so, with personal development literature and understanding psychology better, etc, it's much easier understand and to float over small events that would have previously brought me down or made me sad. so now without those little dips into unnecessary distress, it's easier to extend and maintain that state of happiness.

I'm now reconditioning a lot of 'millisecond' reflexive thoughts (nlp-style perhaps) for things in daily life, to maintain a smoother channel of thought in that realm.


does anyone have extended periods where they are so happy they want to scream with joy!!?? I have those quite often. so funny.
when I'm in the right place and in flow, things are absolutely blissful.


ALSO btw- it's interesting to see how things and events can be interpreted so differently when we're in different states of mind. I'm finding that TRUTH is more discenible and and clearer interpretations come more easily when we're in a happy state of mind.
when we're sad or depressed, things become distorted, and sometimes it can be a vicious cycle. it's good to understand those states of mind hierarchically (like Power vs Force) and see that truth and clarity comes more easily in the higher states of mind.
