happiness is again one of the most recurring themes of the moment among health experts. What makes us really happy? It is one of the questions that try to clarify through several investigations. After years of study, science has shown that it is not money or material wealth. Happiness is much more than that. Rafael Guzmán García, clinical psychoneuroinologisthas shared a deep reflection that seems to have the key.
The health expert ensures that happiness can lengthen our life expectancy
“when I talk about being really happy, I do not mean a passing joy nor to the satisfaction that vanishes with the first problem, ”says the expert in the last publication of his social networks. According to him, True happiness is very far from this matter. “I mean that deep happiness, which makes you feel ungrateful, lose the notion of time and space. That for which there is no sufficient language that describes it,” Your message is clear. “That is the happiness that is worth looking for and the best of all is that, in addition, it lengthens life”insists.
The well -known emotions expert, Marian Rojas Estepé, has also shared this deep reflection on her social networks. In addition, the psychiatrist was pronounced on her Instagram profile a few months ago on this relevant matter. “Happiness depends on the meaning that I give to my life”he said. In vulnerable and critical situations, “or rediscovers the meaning of things or falls in the enormous emptiness.” Reconnect with ourselves in the most complicated moments It is also one of the paths to achieve happiness.
“The human being, our heart, our spirit, our soul, as each one wants to call it, does not like to live in a vacuum. Generates a huge vertigo. We do not like nothing, it distress us and when there is no sense, we replace the meaning for sensations, “explains Marian. To avoid it, the same health expert who shared another secret of happiness has recommended using simple tools such as forgiveness or gratitude.
-Forgiveness and gratitude as key tools to be happy
“From my experience, Forgiveness and gratitude are like canes that help us walk or crutches that allow us to heal certain wounds, ”explains Rafael Guzmán in the same publication close to happiness. It is true that the greatest state of fullness can be achieved through several paths and love ties are one of them, but without a doubt the forgiveness and thanks are also key.“ When they imperate in us Gratitude, respect, acceptance and true love We are much closer to being really happy, ”he adds.
Along these same lines, Mario Alonso Puig, another of the most influential voices on health and well -being in our country, reflected a few weeks ago about the great power of gratitude. “Do not be generous to appreciate it, but because it is a value”account. He has also tried to raise awareness about the need to be generous leaving aside that he associates with weakness.
“It is the ability to include the other in our concept of well -being, to think not only of ourselves, but also what others feel and need. “ Generosity not only benefits who receives it, but who gives it. ”It is for this important reason that We must be generous in life and with others. In this way, our welfare levels will improve and we will be closer to true happiness. Also Marian Rojas Estepé highlighted the importance of questioning what surrounds us and leaving our comfort zone to be happier.
“Those who are in consultation are discovered about those people who are able to connect with the great questions of life, those who try to find a solution that is not always easy because big questions do not always have great answers. Sometimes they do not satisfy us, they do not fill us, they produce pain. And in that, in the people who stop, who meditate, who pray, unknown their stress, it has been seen that they improve their prefrontal cortex, their brain areas and prevents aging, “he says. The way to achieve the long -awaited happiness is much more complicated.
