Being happy with life....

Quote from lurefo:

I'm truly sorry to hear that.

I hope you will find resolution of your issues with the classical psychology school. Just be prepared to spend a few Ks and a few years in the process.

Have you seen a certified nlp practitioner? or do you base your experience on a reading? Just curious.

I have never seen a certified nlp practicioner, however i have seen a psychotherapist using many elements of this theory, and also I have read the books, mainly with the goal of improving my trading results (maybe it helped).

Usually, people would use nlp to gain "something", for example success in business, getting over fear of public speaking, etc. In the end, it seems to me, achieving these goals actually doesn´t make people more happy, but more something to suppress other, more deeper issues. These deeper issues cannot be solved by NLP *imo*, at least not easier than, by classical psychology (they are improving all the time of course btw., the psychoanalytical sessions a la freud is not all that is out there anymore), but rather by time, interacting with people with more experience, or just by thinking it over and over.

Having solved the deeper issues, probably you wouldn´t care about the superficial goals anymore anyway, and if they still do, they will come more natural than by using NLP.

An example: You are making an ok living, but you want to make a lot more money because of some underlying deeper issue, so you want to develop your trading skills more. You might go and use NLP to do this. This might help or it might not help. I believe it will probably help, because the more you immerse yourself in trading stuff, the more you will become attuned. Let´s say you make more money now. Will you be happier now? No, because the underlying issue is still there. the underlying issue can probably not be solved by NLP, because it´s not a skill you need to develop, it´s more of an understanding of yourself, or more realistic thinking that you need. Actually NLP could hurt, by making you think irrealistically, or out of touch. (think American Beauty, the wife making the affirmations as a real estate broker, or later in the car (probably not NLP I agree): "I am not a victim, I am not a victim, I am not..")

In case, having no underlying deeper issues pushing you towards succeeding more in the trading business, then you will probably not need NLP anyway to become a better trader, because you will be naturally extremely focussed already anyway (or in the flow, as this guy with the name mihaelhisihichick or something would say)

Yes, this story has some autobiographical elements, but noone needs to know ;-) Also, I am not an expert at all, so I might as well be talking out of my ***
 
a western mind cannot differentiate between happiness and joy.

Happiness is often false pretense...
Joy is real

Happiness is fleeing
Joy is forever

Happiness is often based on externals
Joy is inner and radiates outward.

The following is quoted from the internet:

Use in seasonal affective disorder

In recent years, full-spectrum lighting has been used in the treatment of seasonal affective disorder (SAD) through the use of "light boxes" that mimic natural sunlight, which may not be available in some areas during the winter months. Light is an environmental stimulus for regulating circadian cycles.

Lightbox therapy, otherwise known as phototherapy, is a recognized modality for depression (such as SAD). Depending on the quality of the light, it is estimated that 10,000 lux is needed for effective treatment. Not all light boxes are the same. It is possible the phosphors used to mimic the natural light emit harmful ultraviolet radiation.

Full spectrum light bulbs, since they mimic the qualities of natural sunlight, are very appropriate for individuals who suffer from Seasonal Affective Syndrome (SAD). Natural daylight has always had desirable qualities, and is often recommended for improving mood and motivation. Most people will agree, working in an office with no windows can be depressing. The cold winter months and overcast seasons can also be gloomy, but full spectrum light bulbs can make the indoors look like the height of summer.
