Achieving Instant Happiness. The first thing to realize is that happiness is in the eye of the beholder.
It is not a result of the people, places or events around you; happiness is completely internal. Example: Man #1 is a snowboarder, Man #2 is a garden enthusiast. On a snowy day, Man #1 will most likely be very happy since snow = fresh powder on the slopes. However, Man #2 will most likely be unhappy since snow = plant death. On a rainy day, Man #1 will most likely be unhappy because for him, rain = watery snow. Man #2, on the other hand, will most likely be thrilled because for him, rain = plant growth. Moral: While the two men have different interests, it is ultimately how they interpret their circumstances that decides what their emotional response will be. The suggestion above is the only way to be constantly happy. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17.

The Fastest Way to Change Something About Yourself. Do you have some personality trait, quirk or habit that you would like to change but have yet to succeed? Well I know the easiest and fastest way to change anything about yourself. That sounds way too good to be true, but I guess you’ll have to keep reading if you want to know for sure.
Step 1: Decide what you want to change Examples include confidence-level, speech impediments, ability to converse with the opposite sex and other sources of insecurity. Step 2: Lie to yourself I know this sounds stupid at first, but hear me out. If you are very shy, then tell yourself that you are considered by most to be “the life of the party” and that you love addressing entire groups of people. Step 3: Imagine the change in yourself Create a minute-long movie in your head of yourself after the change has been made. It’s almost like you’re planting a false memory in your head. Step 4: Become a method actor You need to emulate the person you want to be as if you already are him/her.
Step 5: Believe. Wake the F**k Up! This is a wake up call for anyone that is not living the life they want to live. It will be dogmatic and heated, but nonetheless full of truth. I apologize if this shocks you into a state of discontent with your current lifestyle (that’s the intention). First, take a look at the road map below: Where did you end up? 1) Do I love what I do on a daily basis? If you can’t answer yes 100% to both of these questions, then you need to change something. Yeah, you’ve heard that 1000 times before. This is your life. When you give yourself pathetic excuses like that, this is how your life ends up: That’s depressing. And yet it’s the norm all over the world! So going back to the road map at the very top, change is the key. 1) Figure out what you want to change about your life 2) Plan out the steps and attitude changes you need to implement in our to see those changes 3) Dedicate every fiber of your being to bringing about those changes Your life (and happiness) depends on it.
P.S. Reading Eye Movements! For the majority of the population, the map above indicates what kind of imaginative process is going on in someone’s brain when their eyes point in a particular direction. NOTE: This is for right handed people only. For left-handers, simply switch left and right! This doesn’t work for everyone, but try it out on your friends and you’ll be surprised at how accurate this model really is… Down-Right: Auditory Internal DialogueIndicates when a person is talking to themselves…inside their head.This could be any form of internal dialogue or when someone this thinking hard about something. How is this information useful to you? 1) To gain insight into what others are thinking about! For example, if you see someone looking down-right, you could recognize the internal dialogue and ask them what they are thinking about. 2) Detect lies! If you ask your (person in your life) where he/she was last night and they look to the left, you know that they are constructing an answer, not remembering one!
Dunning-Kruger Effect: Why You Doubt Your Strengths. Bertrand Russel once said, “The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.” With High Existence being the the blog that it is, I think I can safely assume that the majority of you belong to the latter group. So I figured I would tell you why you tend to doubt your strengths so illogically despite being an intelligent, rational person. It’s called the Dunning-Kruger Effect, a cognitive bias in which “people reach erroneous conclusions and make unfortunate choices but their incompetence robs them of the metacognitive ability to realize it.”
For all of you smarties currently doubting your ability to comprehend this effect, it means that competent people doubt their abilities while incompetent people overestimate their abilities. The intelligent falsely assume that others have equal understanding, which is why being smart, beautiful or talented can actually result in lower self-confidence. Here’s a good real world example.
