How to feel Amazing

Feel Younger

Much of who and what we are is determined by how we feel emotionally in this moment? "Depression, we are saying, is not a disease; it is a natural response to certain types of emotional introspection that result in excessive dreaming." - Human Givens, 2003, J. Griffin & I. Tyrrell

The most widely accepted explanation for this sort of phenomenon is that society has changed. Over the past 5 decades, there has been:

• a breakdown in the extended family
• a dispersal of communities
• an increased focus on material wealth
• an overwhelming prevalence of news media
• and an increase in focus on 'the self'

How to feel amazing?

What activities can be regarded as meditation? All activities, it’s all about your intentions in the moment. It’s about how you choose to perceive your existing experience. How you see the world. You can join mutual interest groups on social networks like Meetup, meet people in your local community who share your interests.

Injecting Love into your life

Vagusstuff is literally a tranquilizer that you can self-administer simply by taking a few deep breaths with long exhales. You can consciously tap the power of your vagus nerve to create inner-calm on demand. This knowledge alone should be enough to reduce the fear-of-fear-itself and give you grace under pressure next time you need it. (Psychologytoday)
