Happiness is almost a world-wide obsession these days.\u00a0<\/strong> The self-help shelves of bookstores and online websites are laden with offerings that promise to help you find or achieve happiness. But can they?<\/p>\n

Happiness could be defined as simply \u201cfeeling good\u201d. It doesn\u2019t mean life is perfect but rather that our lives generally have a sense of direction, purpose and meaning.<\/p>\n

When we have an overall sense of satisfaction and contentment we can say we are happy.<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For many though, happiness is hard to obtain. In fact, research is showing evidence of a rising tide of this spirit of unhappiness in most advanced societies.<\/em> A decline in the number of people who regard themselves as \u201chappy\u201d is being documented and seems to be consistent with the staggering increase in cases of depression in the last decade.<\/p>\n

Sadly, there has been a 400 percent increase in anti-depressant drugs prescribed and close to 10 percent of us now take mood-enhancement drugs for this current common problem which was once a rare condition.<\/em><\/p>\n

One of the downsides of this \u201closs of happiness\u201d is the need to replace what has been lost with external sources such as alcohol and drugs, food and overeating, relationships or material items.<\/p>\n

Some of these things may give temporary relief but do not provide long-term happiness, joy, peacefulness or contentment. Could it be these things are being lost to us as our world becomes more and more sedentary and inactive?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hormone Reduction<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>The widespread lack of physical activity<\/a><\/strong> in our modern technology driven \u201ceasy, comfortable\u201d lives means we experience lowered endorphin levels on an ongoing basis.<\/p>\n

Endorphins are nature\u2019s \u201cfeel good\u201d hormones and are manufactured in the brain during intense physical activity. Endorphins lift your mood, calm you; relieve stress AND make you happy. They elevate your mood long after the exercise session has stopped, and help to keep us mentally and emotionally stable.<\/em><\/p>\n

You could call it \u201cmeditation in motion\u201d. After an exercise session, you will often find that you have forgotten the day’s irritations and when you regularly shed your daily tensions through movement and physical activity,<\/a> the resulting stress relief, energy and optimism boost can help you remain calm and clear in everything that you do. It spills over positively into every aspect of your life.<\/p>\n

Many people are missing out on this natural \u201cinner\u201d magic because they think they are too busy, don\u2019t have time, are too stressed or that they simply don\u2019t need to bother to take time out to exercise. But when you neglect your health and your body all of your life goals are balancing on a shaky platform<\/em> making being \u201chappy\u201d so much more elusive.<\/p>\n

Happiness is definitely one of the key ingredients to health.<\/strong> <\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Improving fitness not only positively affects the outside of the body, but affects our “inner sense of well-being” as well. This goes hand in hand with being “fit.” \u00a0You often cannot put your finger on it or cannot identify it – you just feel really good\u2026inside.<\/em><\/p>\n

It is an inner awareness, an inner peace and harmony, a feeling of being whole and complete within oneself and from this radiates happiness \u2013 all from the inside out. This then leads on to that state of appreciation, sense of satisfaction and contentment with your lot in life and finally a perception of balance and peace.<\/p>\n

We may wonder why our culture does not nurture this and prefers to have us popping pills with harmful side effects. No pills can ever match the feelings that physical movement can give us…and…..no prescription required.<\/em><\/p>\n

Somehow; we must once again take pride in being in control of our own life, our health, our body and our well-being and the answer is not in doctors and pills – it is inside of each of us.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This simple exercise solution is easily accessed for just a little time and effort and if you listen to the messages your body is sending<\/a> you that something is missing it could be saying \u201cI REALLY need exercise?\u201d<\/p>\n

We have all heard the saying “happiness comes from within” and the good news is, this solution is available to all of us, is easily accessed for little cost except a little time and effort.<\/em><\/p>\n

Try it and see for yourself.<\/em><\/p>\n

The challenges that arise in our senior years can be anticipated and planned for by making smart decisions now \u2013 those that contribute to our ultimate goal of healthy longevity.<\/em><\/p>\n
