Lives slowly, happy lives

Life in the "modern" societies is really crazy, hundreds of tasks imposed on us and we often self-impose, make us go running all the time, what purpose? All this makes us happy? Do we let some time for love?


Living in a big city you might say which is synonymous with stress. The larger the group of people living in a town more things we seem to be forced to do with less time to execute. There are many cases in which our own mind us impose tasks more and more ... the same is so moved to our young assigning to them new activities, while they grow.

    All this to make us more competent, more prepared to get high in the social scale materialistic ... But has anyone stopped to think if we are really happy doing this kind of thing? Do we have time to enjoy? Are we aware that our life here is endless and that all material properties that we have, will stay here?

    Stop and reflect on all that can us lead to the conclusion that many of the tasks we do throughout our lives, we make them out of obligation. Work is needed to make money to enable us to buy things to live, also, it is imperative study learning materials that allow us to perform work to earn wages. Relationships with other people are also essential as we saw in last post: Friendship: Source of Happiness. These are a small sampling of the many activities that can occupy our daily lives.

    The problem itself is not these activities, but also the level to which we carry in technically advanced societies and especially in large population centers. People  want everything now, at once, the rest of us require us to act with the same speed when handing something. The materialistic ambition, a feeling terribly destructive, causing this acceleration time (want more done in less time) we prefix the speed to quality, we have created a spiral of stress that seems hard to leave, our material mind roots us more in and it reminds us that there is no escape ... Is it possible to live in a society at a slower pace, more natural?



   Of course it's possible! As in everything we discussed in this blog, just change the angle of approach that we live this life, change the collective mind, but for this we must start with ourselves. Here are some tips that can help:


  • From time to time, at least a couple times a year, stop and think about what you're doing in your life. What you do, it makes you happy, performs you as a person? Read, Know what you really want? help you much at this point.

  • Choose things you really want to do in your life, everything you do is not really important, in fact, nothing to do in this life is as important as to snatch happiness, remember: Happiness Exercises (I). Choose carefully what you really want to do and you will enjoy more time for yourself. This post can help you with your list: Your wish is my command! (Part Two)

  • Converts the tasks you do in your life in a fun game for you, do not try to reach the finish as fast as possible, ends do not justify the means, but enjoys the way towards it, and it will come to you. For example, if your goal is to get a partner with whom to fully enjoy the love, not obsess, not rush, calmly meet people, and more people, become an expert in the art of meeting people, enjoy the process, the right person will come.

  • There are always obstacles along the way that can lead to disappointing or negative emotions. Please allow to pass, accept and persevere, your faith in yourself and your willpower will have you to keep constantly in your way, do not run, negative feelings will pass, as does the storm, when just gives way to a beautiful, sunny blue sky.

  • Perfectionism is a big mistake, do not always have to collect the perfect circumstances to continue the pursuit of our goal. Being realistic is much more practical and understand that while things now are not the most favorable, we have to keep rowing in the direction you want to go. Thus, when things seem to go in our favor, we will move quickly without having to run.

    Quality is synonymous with happiness, is positive, joy and love. Make our activities, live our lives, with quality rather than speed, we will ensure a fuller life, happier and with a greater number of goals achieved successfully. Start with yourself, each of us have to put our two cents, to end the spiral of stress and speed as associated with excessive ambition that pollutes and distorts our lives. Do not forget to feel love for everything around you, you can not imagine how much that feeling can bring to your life.
