Why this blog?

Because HAPPINESS is misused. My theory is that Happiness is NOT the POINT of Life; rather, it is a POINTER IN LIFE. Making life happier is what I specialise in. Find me at abetterlife-uk.com and http://hertscollegeofhypnosisandnlp.co.uk

Abundance is a very puzzling thing (free teleseminar)


The whole topic of abundance, and who has it and who doesn't, is very puzzling.

We may see people who, in our opinion, are not particularly smart or very "nice" or who aren't even very good at what they do, generate amazing abundance in their lives.
And then we see really nice people that are intelligent, hard-working, spiritual, and who work endlessly to help others, who are struggling and barely making ends meet.

How can this be?
We have all heard so much about the "law of attraction" and how we just need to focus on what we want.Well, sometimes it works and sometimes it seems to completely fail. Why is that?
Visualizing what you want and setting your intentions is very important, but that is only part of the puzzle. There are other critical factors which you have to work with in order to allow abundance into your life.

Some of these are:
  • Our old limiting beliefs
  • Our unconscious and energetic programming
  • The level of alignment between your conscious and unconscious mind, and between your spirit and your soul
Art Giser has set up a FREE monthly teleworkshop - on the Internet or phone - which will focus in on allowing more abundance into your life. Find out more here:
 It's hard to sustain happiness if old niggles keep hanging around. Do any of these apply to you? 
  • I'm doing well in life but sometimes feel there is more than this
  • I sometimes think my partner really doesn't really 'get me' 
  • I love my kids but worry how to get the best for them
  • Some days I'm really motivated but other days are a struggle
  • I wish I could get through to my boss / colleague / partner / kids better
  • Why do I/others react the way  I/they do?
  • Why do some things just not go my way in life?
If you could resolve these questions would you be interested? Even better - what if you could change these experiences? Well you can. NLP is all about why you feel and do what you do, why others react they they do, and how to change it for the better. Amazing?  Join my INTRODUCTORY WEEKEND

Happiness is - Forgetting!

Unhappiness really is to do with what you focus on - which determines what you remember. Scientists have shown what effective therapists have long known - that memory is selective.
A study found that repressing memories for long enough can cause them to be erased completely. Scientists at Lund University used EEG (brain) scans to watch when parts of volunteers' brains where actively trying to forget something. My kids can see me do that any day of the week - but there you go.
Now, we have been doing this type of thing on traumatic and unpleasant memories for years using hypnosis and NLP techniques. But the point is, we now have some sort of evidence gathering on the science side.

Happiness = 'closed for siesta'

Meditation can cut heart attack and stroke by 50%. Beat that with drugs if you can.
Some of us knew this... and now science does too. By Richard Alleyne The Telegraph
The practice, which involves the continual repeating of a mantra, was found to reduce high blood pressure, cholesterol and thickening of the arteries. It is also protects against diabetes.
"This is a seminal finding," said Dr Norman Rosenthal of the American government's National Institute of Mental Health. (Forgive my little rant here, but I really do marvel at how long science can insist on looking in the wrong direction - and spend a lot of money in the process.)
"The prevention of heart attack and stroke and actual lengthening of lifespan by an alternative treatment method is exceedingly rare, if not unprecedented. If Transcendental Meditation were a drug conferring so many benefits, it would be a billion-dollar blockbuster." Exactly. Take note. Pills are not the long term answer, not are they the most effective. Health is happiness-shaped

Bored to death?

Told you so - Do more of what you like and less of what you don't! 
People working in administrative and service roles are most likely to be bored in their jobs according to research reported by Stephen Adams, Medical Correspondent in The Telegraph today.
"Underchallenged" employees who end up finding they simply cannot take any more of the "monotonous and unstimulating" tasks that they are expected to perform. A study categorised two other types of burn-out: 'frenetic', in which the employee works "increasingly harder to the point of exhaustion"; and 'worn-out', where workers "give up when faced with stress or lack of gratification".Longer-serving employees were more likely to be "worn-out", with those clocking-up more than 16 years' service most at risk."The longer the service, the greater the likelihood of having this burn-out," found the author. These people find a way of getting through the day -  "a passive coping strategy" but become ineffective in the process.

Old but good test for your happiness prospects

Michael Fordyce began researching into happiness before it all got so popular.
In his view, the picture from psychological research has not changed that much since the mid 70s. I am just researching his contribution to the field, and thought you might like to try out his questionnaire to assess your happiness assets <here>.

HOWEVER - Fordyce points out that there are those people who swim against the tide and are happoy even though they are low on happiness assets. Equally, there are those who never tap into their plentiful assets, and are not happy in life. So really, he argues, there is only one question that matters:

How happy a person are you?

POSSIBLE ANSWERS: A. Extremely happy; B. Very happy; C. Pretty happy; D. Somewhat happy; E. Neutral (not particularly happy or unhappy); F. Somewhat unhappy; G. Pretty unhappy; H. Very unhappy. 
SCORING: No official scores for this; your answer says all that matters.
