Don’t chase happiness seek contentment 🙂

I’m not sure exactly how you interpret this but base off I what I think you are saying I’ll give my opinion. In short, I disagree. Contentment is the opposite is the opposite of happiness. While happiness is defined differently by everyone it’s hard to say what “happiness” truly is. I think you come closest to happiness by pursuing meaningful personal goals and becoming “better” than you were yesterday. It’s human nature to chase what you don’t have, build towards what you currently have not, and vision a better future. Seeing progress towards your ideal self/goals gives you a feeling of progress(some would say happiness) and accomplishment which if you continue this path I think your baseline happiness increases but if you don’t pursue a better version of yourself and/or future and are content with who you are today you sacrifice what could be which ultimately leads to regret.

There is a Trick to prolong the Happier state - Conscious Gratitude. Its almost 2 yrs i bought my bike , but it seems quite new , coz many times i spend few seconds in Appreciation and Gratitude b4 starting my ride . And for Unhappy events , knowing about Hedonic Adaptation helps , knowing that howmuch ever these emotions seem Intense and Permanent , return to our Baseline is already Underway.

Good way to put the negative ones.

Happiness is fleeting, what I want is peace.

this is why they say "journey, not the destination" because the emotion at the destination (good or bad) returns us back to baseline. so how we feel with our experiences (appreciating that) is what matter most

i recently found the brazilian phrase tudo passa which translates to everything passes. i live by this because it is a firm reminder that when bad things happen they will eventually pass but also that when great things happen to enjoy them because they don’t last forever.

i agree with thw conclusion: basically, if it won't matter anyways, then don't stress out over the next big thing

That's so truee because money can bring you only momentary happiness which after some limited time it will vanish

There are some things that can raise your baseline. 1. Spending time with loved ones, humans or animals. 2. Progress in anything you choose, hobby, goal etc. 3. Gratitude count your blessings every hour on the hour. 4. Be present and when you can't question your interpretation of what's happening if it's negative replace with positive/grateful interpretation. 5. Be of service to others, find anyone less fortunate than you and help them in some way. These will definitely raise your baseline.

Some studies show that EXPERIENCES can influence the height and length of those curves more than MATERIAL ITEMS, which cause small quick passing bumps

Great Explanation

Once a lemon always a lemon

This is why "the pursuit of happiness" is foolish

This is a thing that I figured out when I was 13. And that was perhaps 20 years ago or so. Sure, I did not know what to name it back then but it seems like it is the same thing

in other words. if you experience a lot of fluctuations in mental state frequent but minor, sure you will experience more temporary happiness, but i find that the constant negatives utweights the the positives and its almost like your baseline has lowered.

Great 😃 topic

Why try to pursue happiness when you can have JOY.

My baseline of happiness is my dog 😊

Hmm, I find this very frustrating in a way, quite unfair: what can people with a “low baseline” do? Nothing, just accept that they’re more or less depressed / low mood all the time?

literally why i quit every single job

Doesn’t seem make much sense to me, there been things that made me feel much better and it lasted months - then it’s just stops working completely - even if I spend years not doing it and then return to it only to find out I don’t enjoy it nearly as much as I once did - and I gave it good several hours

It is because you have to actively escape hedonic treadmill and it fluctuates overtime. Age, experience, circumstances, mindset evolve priorities and gratification overtime. What you perhaps enjoyed at 15 will not be as pleasurable at 60.

i don't know, i have to say that for me yhis adaptive effect isn't really that strong

That’s why I move every 6 months

The reason this doesn’t bother me is cause if you drop 1 million dollars on me right now I’m literally gonna live a vastly superior life than if I didn’t have it. EVEN if the time between the happy moments returns to neutral the superior number of happy moments trump the less than I’d have without the millions

But maybe if you keep having good things happen to you, you won't ever have to return to the baseline.

So then I could literally kill someone, go to prison for life, and still be just as happy if I were rich and famous?
