Fitness has essentially been about the body, for the past few years at least. Individuals exercise, watch their food intake and walk every day or take yoga classes to maintain their fitness. However, now a new wellness trend is coming to the fore Happiness Training. Happiness Training is not just about body but also about the mind and emotional health.
In the present world full of rush and hurry, stress, anxiety, fear and constant pressure is a part and parcel of life. There are a lot of people who are chasing success, making money and trying to get achievements and think that they will lead to happiness. But in reality, material success can be fleeting. When everything is over, back to stress and emptiness return.
According to Happiness Ambassador Happpy AiR-Atman from Ravi, "Happiness is not something that we seek, it is something we choose. There's a difference between happiness and pleasure. Happy to be content with oneself, making the attainment of pleasure the criterion of happiness, is not happiness."
The mind itself is the greatest hindrance to happiness. The mind is always in a state of worry and remorse. This stream of thoughts causes people to miss the Now, the only place where peace exists.
Happiness Training is a training in calming and stilling the mind. The mind becomes tranquil when the thoughts calm down. People are not allowed to be led by negative thinking, but learn to watch their thinking calmly. This awareness brings inner peace that is the base for happiness.
There is also research that confirms the link between mental wellbeing and mindfulness practice. Meditation can help lower levels of stress, enhance emotional health, and help give a sense of calm and balance, according to the Mayo Clinic meditation guide. Mindfulness practices aid in maintaining the focus on the moment and decrease anxiety.
