Break into Bliss by Jumping through Fear

Jump through Fear.

The only way out is through.

Fear is forgetting everything is all right.

Fear is false evidence appearing real.

Your comfort zone is a safe place though it may not be the happiest.



Every day you are confronted with addressing your deepest fears.

Fear of success
Fear of failure
Fear of commitment
Fear of the truth
Fear of the future
Fear of the unknown
Fear of loss
Fear of scarcity

Whatever your fear may be, your fear is here.

Your fear is ever present in your decisions day in and day out.

To keep you in your comfort zone.

Your comfort zone has been built for years probably decades.

Your thoughts and beliefs about these topics of fear have probably traversed generations in your family lineage.

Fear of loss
Fear of success
Fear of commitment
Fear of the truth
Fear of change

The notion of fear is a stumbling block to your highest states of bliss.

This fear is keeping you in sedentary paralysis trapping you inside your semi impermeable bubble of life.

This is subconsciously guiding your every single decision.

Take this in for a minute.

Confront yourself.

What is the fear you have been letting rule your life.

Fear of success?
Fear of true love?
Fear of other’s judgment?

What is the fear that holds you back in your life?



Put a name on it.  

Call it out of the dark of your shadow so you can look at it straight in the eye.

The eye of your subconscious.

Ask yourself: Do I want this fear any more?  Do I want to let this fear go so I can move on with my life?  How is this fear serving my highest flourishing?

Take a moment to wrestle with the truth of this fear.

Examine it. Where did it come from? Is it even TRUE?!



When you enlighten your shadow you are shown that you are the one holding yourself back from achieving the highest path of life.

One in faith.



One in faith in yourself, your path, your inner knowing, your life.

Fear has been instilled at a rudimentary level in the reptilian part of your brain.

You live in 2014 where most live without harm in life and can consciously remove any fear you feel ready to release.

Fear is transformed into faith in Step 5 of my sustainable happiness program.  This faith then enables you to confront your realistic daily decisions in a way where you can achieve ecstatic states of bliss and joy beyond your wildest dreams.

The only way out is through.

Jump from the plane.
Commit to your love.
Address the truth.
Embrace success.

When you can break through fear and embrace your life based on the bedrock of faith is when you can achieve the highest forms of happiness known to humanity.

Stop dancing around your fear.
Stop making excuses for your fear.
Stop letting your false evidence appearing real run your life.

You can gain empowerment over your psychology and you can create change in your life with a simple decision.

Choose faith over fear.

Put your fear in its place.

See it dissipate in front of your face.

You are the one who put it in your psychology you can take it out.

Imagine what your life could look like without fear.

Imagine a lightness of ease and flow in your every step.

Imagine opportunities flying at you; all wanting you to embrace your life at the highest level.

Imagine your bliss being fueled daily as you grow stronger in building your faith while your fear simply evaporates.

You have real examples.

You have real life experiences with fear.

You have let the external world and the power of your subconscious mind control the experience you make for yourself in life.

You are making your own experience.

Make it with faith.

Make it with bliss as your fundamental essence.

How can your upward spiral grow from this place?

The sky is the limit when you walk the path of faith and bliss begets bliss.

You will never go wrong with positivity.



RELEASE YOUR FEARS

CHOOSE FAITH OVER FEAR

YOUR LIFE WILL CHANGE

How to live a happy life for FREE in 7 Steps



Contrary to what you may think creating a happy life is an advanced happiness skill.

This is the final lesson in the Happiness Makeover leadership program after someone spends almost three months working on their inner self.

So when you have completed the ‘inner work’ it takes to maintain a frequent state of positivity, resiliency is in your blood, you are on a clear path for contentment and achieving consistent states of bliss THEN you can weave the web of a happy life around you to sustain this inner state even stronger.

The Happy Life exercise in the happiness makeover is based from a theory developed in 1966 and has withstood the test of time.


This theory espouses we have several categories in our life:

Socialization
Institutionalization
Habits
Reification
Knowledge
Language
Legitimation

It was 2004 when I fused what I knew from happiness science with the social construction of reality to indeed help others and myself live a sustainably happy life!

So here is a cliff notes version to help you start thinking about the happy life you want to create for yourself.

1. Who are you socializing with?

2. What institutions are you a part of and do they represent your greater value system?

3. What are the habits you employ everyday to uphold your happiness?

4. What is the knowledge you are consistently developing to further your happiness?

5. Have you converted to positive language?

6. What are the things around you and are they contributing to your happiness. Note – hoarders tend to be unhappy

7. How are you going to ensure this actually will work? What is your method of keeping up the web you create for your happy life?

As you become empowered over your own happiness, learn how to develop a frequent state of positive mood, build your resiliency to rapid speeds, are developing contentment and achieving states of bliss… the next level is to look on how you can create your happy life around you.

Vision of a Global Happiness Calculator based on Mobile and Cloud Technology

I have a vision for a Global Happiness Calculator.

PROBLEM

The world has focused on measuring outside circumstances and achieving external goals for lasting happiness for prominent global measurements for global well being, national flourishing, and gross national happiness.

Here is a world map of happiness put out by the United Nations.



SOLUTION

The calculator I envision is based on the fundamental human experience of internally driven sustainable happiness.

Everyday people seek practical ways to boost these numbers yet I have to see a successful global citizen simple and effective initiative.

With the onset of mobile technology, I envision each person with a mobile phone can contribute to the global happiness calculator.

Use their mobile phone to participate in the increase of these numbers as responsible global citizens.

I envision my 5 steps of sustainable happiness taught through a mobile application and connected with these global measurement systems to show an increase in flourishing, well being and global happiness.

What would be the difference between my technology and those existing measurements?

The 5 steps of sustainable happiness are all skills developed from the inside.

The measurements are not determined by the social welfare of your country or the amount of money you have in your bank account or even your genetic code.

You can learn how to become empowered over your well being.

You can learn how to create a positive mood whenever you want.
You can learn skills to increase your resiliency.

You can have a clear path to develop contentment.

You can have quick and easy access to states of bliss.

This is true flourishing, healthy well -being and sustainable happiness.

How does this look as a happiness calculator?

Certain happiness activities are guided as a morning, daytime and sleep routine.

This is nothing more than exercises in smiling, laughing, gratitude, kindness and presence, and positivity.

A self –report grading system is used for the user to engage in the program and keep an A level effort in the program. If reports are less than an A, improvements are suggested.

Then we get to see national averages on how communities are doing in certain positivity enhancing strategies and target lessons for different locations having different challenges.

More data collected would be:

Where are you on the happiness scale?  1-10
10 equals the happiest you can imagine.

The metric is gathered from two places: the consciousness of the mind and the consciousness of the heart.

Then there is a determinant on what needs to be done to improve.

Next measurement is a positive to negative thought ratio: 70 : 30 ?

This thought ratio will improve over the course of the program and show national or organizational averages.

Negative thought patterns would be illuminated on subject matter so cognitive solutions can be suggested.

Next measurement is a ‘Living in the moment’ percentage.

American national average is 53% based on recent Harvard Research which showed 47% of the time our mind is wandering and during the time of mind wandering unhappiness settles in.

Here is an example of metrics:

Morning Routine Grade : B

Wake up and smile
How many people are actually waking up and smiling?

Set the intention for today to be the happiest day of your life.
How many people are setting the intention to be happy?

Duchenne Smile Push Ups
How many positive memories are recalled each day?

Laughter practice.
How many people are laughing in the morning?

Singing
How many people sing in the morning?

Jumping for joy and building zest.
How many people are jumping for joy in the morning?

Gratitude practice
How many people are incorporating a gratitude practice?

Day time Routine : B

Present moment awareness: An automated practice is institutionalized and adopted to increase present moment awareness and the percentage of time living in the moment is tracked.

Positive Thinking Ratio - 80 : 20

Exercise : At least 20 min a day
5 Acts of kindness : method for connecting to friends and family and amount of acts of kindness is tracked and ideas are suggested.

Positive language practice
Eliminating negative language can change the brain and enhance a positive emotional experience.  This language change is guided and supported through autocorrect methods.

Sleep Routine : A
Recount the acts of kindness from the day

Ask yourself what are three good things that happened today.

Read your positive thoughts from the day that were part of the positive thinking daily practice.

The aforementioned measurements are based in step two for positive mood.

The next set of measurements are based on resiliency – step three.

This is an automated support system where the user can gain assistance for appropriate positive psychology tools to enhance resiliency during challenging times.

The calculator would meansure the amount of time it took to ‘bounce back’ from adversity, tracking progress in resiliency.

The next level of the calculator would show progress along the continuum of developing deep inner contentment – step four.

There would be a clear path and we can see progress nation wide on where people are getting stuck in their developmental processes and offer support during those times.

The aspect of the calculator for step 5 , bliss, would be to guide and enhance a state of bliss so the calculator would track states of bliss and the frequency there of.

I am offering a vision of a technology that can track the inner experience of sustainable happiness.
As the world grows in the eco-cognitive space and seeks to measure grand psychological experiences, it is crucial we measure the right things based in the inner experience opposed to the outer experience.

The Global Happiness Calculator would measure : Empowerment , Positive Mood, Resiliency, Contentment, and Bliss

Instead of outer circumstances.

There is room for improvement.
