Learning to be Happy

you know we're not taught how to be

happy you know we're taught we're not

even taught our nervous system is

designed to survive

you have to think about it the brain

that you and I have is about 2 million

years old roughly and it hasn't altered

a huge amount in that time and the

number one focus is survival

so our brains are always looking for

what could go wrong what could be messed

up what could cost us what could we lose

and it used to be to protect us from a

saber-tooth tiger so we've learned to

fight or flight run from it or freeze

and open didn't notice it those are the

three patterns most people do under

stress they fight they flight or they

freeze and the problem is there is no

saber-toothed tiger anymore

so today we get freaked out like life

and death like what do people think

about us or were they right about us in

social media and don't get me wrong all

those are challenging things but they

get into survival if we don't learn to

run our brains our our brain is going to

make you survive it's not going to make

you happy your job is to create the

happiness in order to do that you have

to wake up and not be on automatic pilot
