Everybody in the world is seeking happiness- but not everybody gets it. That, some people think is elusive and stop looking for it, some people have is all around and don't know how it looks like so are continuing in a futile chase to get somewhere that is never good enough. Happiness comes by controlling your thoughts and changing negative, disempowering habbits with empowering ones.
Happiness comes by making a plan and analysing what happiness is for you and how it will make you feel when you get it. and by making an analyses with a coach or by your self you realise that you can have that state of mind now , at this moment and enjoy the journey ahead.
For some time now I have started doing mindful medication in the morning and after 3 months I can say that i see the benefits. When I was growing up I was eager to get that peace of mind , how do people get it, where do they find it, how much does it cost, how long does it take.
Mindfulness is a great tool.
It is proven scientifically and is used as a prescription for pin relief, mild-mod depression and history of recurrent depression, improve the immune system, improve concentration/ focus. as a result is great when used in schools, companies, relationship. School projects like .b is a one of them and the teacher implementing it has done a TED talk to talk about it and the benefit.
Big companies like apple, IBM, PWC, general motors have mindfulness rooms to help the employees unwind and refocus.
Mindful based cognitive therapy is used in NHS in UK to help patients with pain, depression, low mood, weight loss.
You don't need a room , a mat a space to increase your awareness, you need to be willing to improve you life where you are and to admit that you are responsible for transforming your life.
Easy steps to be mindful

1. Get out of you head. use your senses. when doing something like taking a shower. Be there. take a shower, feel the worm water in you skin, enjoy the sound of water slashing, feel the warms of the temperature and the humidity of the room.
2. Avoid multitasking whenever you can. I hazes the concentration and affect negatively the productivity by 40% according to research and affect creativity.
3. When awaiting a queue rather than waiting time, engage your awareness. notice you feet on the floor for full ten breaths. Nice the colour, notice the sounds, gaze in the face of your chip or your loved one.
4. Practice being in the moment. answering the phone, somebody is saying something you don't agree, notice your thoughts, your feelings are their dealing ones or do you feel your getting tight, annoyed. Take big breaths and let the negative emotions pass by like little cars in the road, if you base them you get tired. If you get in front of them you get run over, let the pass by and be compassionate to your self.
5. Appreciate things other do for you and say that to them.
6. Have a straight posture.
7. eat slowly

I won't tell you any more as it is proven that 7 things is the max we can retain at one time. THAT IS THE REASON WHY PHONES HAVE 7DIGITS.
remember as John Kabat-Zin say.
As long as you're breathing there is more right with you than is wrong ,no matter what is wrong with you.
Be mindful and be happy.
