Is Happiness Feeling Better Fast?


Happiness is a state of being, an ideal, and like most ideals it is largely an illusion. What makes us happy are a series of moments in which we feel good. One purpose of this blog, Feel Better Fast, is to help identify the particular activities that create the moments that makeup the illusion we think of as happiness.

Feel Better Fast recognizes that you can’t feel good all the time. Feeling good only has meaning in relation to feeling bad. A steady state of feeling good would mean feeling nothing.

An unavoidable part of every human’s condition is feeling like crap. Overcoming that feeling may be what happiness is all about. One of the goals of this blog is to help identify those events that make you feel bad and provide ideas which when implemented will help you feel better fast.

Do feeling bad and then feeling good fit together to make-up the illusion we call happiness? If so, the speed with which we go from feeling bad to good is a good measure of happiness, and possibly the thing itself. That’s a proposition worth exploring and one we’ll get to soon. Until then, here’s hoping you feel better fast.
