Pathways Of The Mind Simple Steps To Happiness A Fresh New Life And A New Beginning

An easily understood approach to understanding how the mind works, enabling people to change the pathways in their minds, so that they may be happier, more confident individuals. The workings of the human mind can be compared to a forest, as the neurons, synapses, and biochemical pathways of the brain can be compared to paths in the woods. When a person starts learning something new, they create pathways in their mind. As we learn, the pathways start as the faintest animal path, hardly discernable from the rest of the forest. As a person repeats an activity, whether it be mental or physical, the wider the path gets, and the more packed down the earth. With repetition and practice, stepping-stones are laid down. With proficiency, the winding curves of the path straighten, the path broadens into a road, and things become easy. If one neglects their practice, the days go by and the weeds creep in. Having a visual representation, an image of how the mind works, enables a person more easily modify, make more efficient, and train their thoughts so that he or she may become a happier, more productive, and creative individual.

A psychologist offers fifty science-backed ideas, activities, and adventures for cultivating a happier mindset. From positive psychology expert Edward Hoffman, Ph.D., Paths to Happiness guides you through fifty fun, stimulating, mind-opening ways to achieve greater joy and feel more fulfilled. From dabbling in watercolors to expressing gratitude, embracing nostalgia to power napping, each suggestion in this book has been shown by scientific research to increase happiness and support well-being. Every topic is explored in a digestible manner and invites readers to reflect on their lives, with easy ways to cultivate a happier mindset. The easy dip-in, dip-out style and engaging activities make this accessible guide to finding happiness in daily living—one that can be revisited again and again.

This book prepares you to take control of your life. The common denominator at the helm of affairs in all disciplines of life that acts as a regulator is the mind. Our state of mind determines our happiness, joy, vigour, and energy in life. Negativity and problems captivate the mind and make it rudderless. Whether it is the unhappy mood that is keeping you agitated; a life-threatening disease that has enslaved you; unfair societal conditions that have reduced you to isolation; disabilities that have incapacitated you; drugs that have devastated your loved ones; depression that has broken past your defenses or old age that has weakened your physical powers; the methods of invoking positive behavior learned in this book will enable you to win these battles. We have been gifted with extraordinary resources, but we remain unperceptive of them. Therefore, it is our foremost responsibility to educate ourselves about the uniqueness of our lives so that for the very short time that we are here, we can live with satisfaction and peace of mind. When we do so, we are not only able to improve ourselves but also touch the lives of all those with whom we come in contact. A novel concept of grounding has been introduced in the book that resets the mind, relieves it of the unnecessary pressures, and makes the conditions conducive for programming new instructions and installing new behaviors. There is a beautiful dual-sided 3D object magnetized to the cover of the book. It is called the Gratitude Medal and has morphed into this shape after years of innovation and feedback. The readers will apply the techniques learned in this book to use the Gratitude Medal as a remote control to trigger the ever-powerful new habits. There are several videos to which reference is made in the book, which are accessible on the website www.neuralencoders.com. They animate core concepts and help in forging and strengthening new neural pathways that we build during the course of reading the book. This book empowers you to overcome all the hurdles and become a winner in life.

You'll love this book if you truly want to be happy. Yes, that means your relationships are kind, beneficial, and truthful; prosperity flows into your life; those opportunities you long for appear; your health is at its best; and you're on your life path. You'll also love this book if you know in your heart that you can create your best future, but feel like you're missing the exact know-how and understanding. The Happiness Path explains the basic quantum physics of how your thoughts and intentions transform energy into experiences and things, whether you're paying attention or not. And it illustrates how your emotions, ego, subconscious mind and imagination function as a team to influence the life experiences your energy has created so far, as well as those in your future. Armed with this new knowledge, The Happiness Path guides you in retooling future experiences so you end up genuinely happy, rather than kind of happy, or not at all. Plus, you'll finally have a way to dissipate painful emotions, rather than struggling to ignore them or trying to just let them go (which really doesn't work!). Your uncomfortable emotions are huge gifts that shouldn't be ignored, dismissed, or misunderstood. They help you understand what you need to be happy.This book is also for you if you've had varying success with praying, saying affirmations, and visualizing, because it shows you an important step you probably didn't know about, and that you'll want to include in your practice so you see the changes you've been working toward. The Dalai Lama said, "The purpose of our lives is to be happy." If you agree, even partially, you'll love this book's benefits. That's because it'll help you discover what makes you happy, and show you how to create it. You'll even learn to create good for your friends and family, because it's hard to be happy when they are not. The Happiness Path is an update of Joanne Rodasta's Take a Moment and Create Your Life! (1997). Since then, she has constantly tested the concepts in both books in order to provide you the most elegant practice to follow to create experiences that leave you feeling happy. Also available is Joanne Rodasta Wilshin's The Happiness Path Group Guide if you are want to start a group to support your practice. (Suggested!)
