A Formula for Happiness and Low Depression Discovered

Dr. Tom and Sherry Stevens

Long Beach, CA (PRWEB) October 13, 2010

In a world where so many people are facing difficult circumstances, what can they do to overcome negative emotions and find happiness? For decades psychologists have been identifying key factors associated with happiness and with depression. However, researchers have rarely looked for a comprehensive formula that can predict happiness and depression accurately. In a recent study of 3,446 people Dr. Tom Stevens discovered a formula he calls our Happiness Quotient (HQ) that could predict people’s happiness with 75% accuracy. This degree of predictive power is unusually high for this type of research. The HQ formula is based upon three types of internal personal factors—our ultimate values, core beliefs and fears, and life skills. Since learning can change all these factors, people can improve their HQ and their chances of being happy. This research also supports the idea that a person with internal strength can overcome difficult circumstances to be happy.

What are these HQ factors? The first HQ factor type is what we value most in our lives. According to Dr. Stevens, his research showed that “time-honored, internally centered values are among the most important contributors to happiness…The more people valued mental or internally centered values such as happiness and health for self and others; loving all people unconditionally; contributing to the world; integrity; self-development; seeking truth and knowledge; mental challenge; living a balanced life; and loving God (or a Higher Power), the happier and more successful they tended to be.” Other values such as social and family values and accomplishment were also positive factors.

The second factor type is best described as our core beliefs and fears. The core belief scales most strongly associated with happiness and low depression were Positive World View (optimism), Self-Worth, Internal Control, and Low Greatest Fears. In other words, having core positive beliefs about the world, other people, and oneself; believing in the unconditional value of everyone; and having beliefs that support internal control over one’s life (as opposed to believing you are controlled by fate, your environment, or other people) were powerful factors associated with happiness and low depression. People’s greatest fears are often the flip side of their top values and beliefs, and having low fears of death, poverty, rejection, failure, and illness are good predictors of happiness.

The third factor type, life skill areas, was also highly associated with people’s happiness. The first area, self-oriented skills, included skills like life planning, time-management, emotional coping, self-motivation, and learning. Interpersonal skills, especially skills like intimacy, conflict resolution, collaborative, and assertive skills were associated with interpersonal success, happiness, and low depression. Self-confidence in one’s skills in key life areas was also a strong predictor of happiness and low depression.    

What was actually being measured in this study? Questions on the Overall Happiness Scale asked users to rate “Overall happiness during the past year” and happiness in the different life areas such as career, self, romantic relationship, family, friendships, spiritual life, and recreation. The Depression Scale questions were based upon the official psychiatric definition of clinical depression. The HQ formula also successfully predicted how much medication and treatment people had used for depression. In addition to its success predicting happiness and depression, the HQ formula also was a good predictor of people’s overall anxiety, anger and aggression, relationship success, health, and even their income.

Dr. Stevens designed the Success and Happiness Questionnaire (SHAQ) and this study to test ideas in his book, You Can Choose To Be Happy: “Rise Above” Anxiety, Anger, and Depression, 2010. This book provides a detailed examination of these HQ factors, describes how the reader can self-develop them, and provides a layman’s summary of the SHAQ research results. It is based upon his years of personal and clinical experience seeing people overcome negative emotions by modifying these HQ factors. For example people can usually overcome their worst fears by exploring them and developing plans for internally or externally coping with them. For outcomes beyond our control such as death, we may need to develop a philosophical view that helps us overcome our fears.

Visit Dr. Stevens’ website, http://www.csulb.edu/~tstevens, to take SHAQ or get copies of his book, research, and self-help materials on self-esteem, positive thinking, cognitive therapy, emotions, motivation, assertiveness, interpersonal skills, dating and relationships, academic success, career planning, and many other topics (all free).

Dr. Tom G. is a psychologist emeritus at California State University, Long Beach. Understanding how people can learn to be happy and more successful began with a life-altering experience at age 16 when he decided to make happiness for self and others a top goal. Besides his counseling and teaching, Dr. Stevens’ professional contributions (CV) include many research studies, publications, papers, and profession presentations. Dr. Stevens believes his greatest success is living a happy life and helping others. He has learned the secrets of how to overcome negative emotions and be happy, and wants to share them with as many people as possible.

Top Happiness Promoter, George Ortega, Proclaims Global Age of Happiness

White Plains, NY (PRWEB) March 14, 2006

George Ortega, a top happiness researcher and producer of the world’s first television program entirely about happiness, has made the bold prediction that our world is rapidly advancing toward a new Age of Happiness. According to Ortega, “with our current knowledge of happiness, we can raise our global happiness level by at least twenty-five percent over the coming decade.” Following are excerpts from his treatise, which is available in full through the website of his regional cable and internet television program, The Happiness Show:

Happiness is the highest goal of every human being, and the ultimate destination of humankind. After a 2.3 million year struggle with nature, the human race is ushering in what can be confidently described as an Age of Happiness. Over the last fifty years, humanity has amassed a body of scientific knowledge about happiness that our world appears poised to now use to easily and inexpensively elevate our global happiness from its current level of under 65 percent to a much happier 85 percent or higher during the coming years.

In the mid 70’s, Michael Fordyce, a professor at a small community college in Fort Myers, Florida, concluded that the science of happiness had collected enough consistent data to justify a giant leap forward. Predicting that individuals could be taught to become much happier though classroom instruction based on happiness research findings, Fordyce conducted the world’s first happiness-increase experiment. His “Development of a program to increase personal happiness,” published in 1977 in The Journal of Counseling Psychology, demonstrated conclusively that by receiving a few weeks of instruction, individuals become much happier.

In 1998, Martin Seligman, then president of the American Psychological Association, founded the now dominant field of “Positive Psychology,” reviving and emphasizing a long dormant recognition going back to the A.P.A.’s first president, Raymond Dodge, that “happiness is an important, if not the most important, aim of human endeavor.” More recently, a new generation of researchers led by Sonja Lyubomirsky has emerged to advance the happiness-increase interventions that Fordyce pioneered.

Recognizing that this renaissance in happiness research was destined to create a wide consumer demand for greater happiness, from 2003-05, Seligman trained about 1,000 individuals to market one-to-one happiness coaching. Also in 2003, confident that happiness awareness and implementations should extend to all sectors of society, the author of this treatise created the world’s first television program entirely about happiness; The Happiness Show. To disseminate happiness information as widely as possible, he recently made over130 half-hour episodes available for free digital download and broadcast by public access and college cable television stations anywhere in the world.

Highlighting and expanding the public’s new interest in happiness, on January 17, 2005, Time magazine published a cover story on “The New Science of Happiness” that spanned sixty-four pages and became the magazine’s most requested back issue. In a world dominated by an insatiable quest for wealth, the preeminent role of happiness in our lives is also being forcefully promoted by top economists and business leaders.

In 2005, Richard Layard, founder of Europe’s leading economic institution, The London School of Economics’ Centre for Economic Performance, published a book titled Happiness that strongly advocates a shift in our global mindset from economics and materialism to the happiness at the heart of our desires. Here we are in 2006, and happiness seems to have reached the critical mass that Malcolm Gladwell describes in his book, The Tipping Point, as presaging major changes to our personal and societal landscapes.

Major documentaries that are expected to greatly amplify consumer demand for happiness will premiere as early as this year. Joel McEwen’s docu-comedy, “In Pursuit of Happiness,” narrated by Danny Glover and featuring political activists Michael Moore and Howard Zinn, pokes fun at our inefficient and ineffective efforts to buy happiness through our ever-growing consumerism. Gothem Metro Studios’ recently completed docu-drama, “The Serious Business of Happiness,” is a more philosophical work bound to stir controversy by advancing ideas about happiness that are contradicted by scientific findings.

An Age of Human Happiness is being born as people all over the world experience the revelation that behind all we strive for, such as money, success, prestige, knowledge, security and health, lies the singular goal of greater happiness. Happiness is also being increasingly recognized as more than the underlying goal of every product we buy, but a product in its own right. The business community is gearing up to meet a new consumer market for happiness through scientifically validated training. As businesses begin to advertise their new product through television commercials, infomercials and other venues, consumer demand for greater happiness through direct training should skyrocket.

Ideas have their time, and the time for a global Age of Happiness appears to have at long last arrived.

Like every other Facebook game on the market, Happy Aquarium has its very own special currency that is hard to get and can help to buy some very rare, high level items and upgrades for your account. In this case, you’ll be trying to get Happy Aquarium pearls. These pearls are not necessarily as hard to get in Happy Aquarium as they might be in some other games, but they are still tough and can be quite expensive if you decide to start buying them instead. So, to help you decide when and where to use them, and whether you need to buy any Happy Aquarium pearls, here are some tips.

What Happy Aquarium Pearls Are Used For?

There are a lot of different items you can buy with your Happy Aquarium pearls. To start with, you can buy some rare and fun high level creatures and fish that would not otherwise be available to you. These creatures vary between those that can be resold for a decent profit to those that are just simply there – the same as a decoration (such as your Mermaid or Scuba Hamster).

Other items that you can pick up for a good chunk of pearls include the high level backdrop upgrades along with the different decorations that are rarely found in the game other than through the pearl interface. These decorations range from real world monuments to strange and rare items that perform fun little tricks.

What Can You Skip?

For the most part, you don’t need anything that you can buy with pearls. They cost a lot of real world cash (12 for ) and can be pretty much ignored if you’re not intent on getting the highest level items in the game. The upgrades to your tank and your subtanks are all paid for with coins, so generally speaking, if you focus on your coins, you’ll be able to get almost anything you need from the game.

The goal of Happy Aquarium pearls is to give the truly hardcore players of the game a fun, additional way to engage with the content. From the Scuba Hamster for 150 pearls to the little mermaid or the rare backdrops and additions to your tank, you can have a lot of fun tacking on new aspects to you tank. But, you need to be willing to spend a good chunk of real world cash to get those things because the number of Happy Aquarium pearls you’ll get for free is often quite limited.

There are a lot of different things you’ll need to focus on as you play Happy Aquarium. The one thing that many players get stuck up on early though is leveling in Happy Aquarium. The game is a tough one to level up in if you don’t utilize all the tools that are given to you. Since there are new levels being added to the game seemingly every week too (right now it’s at 42), the game just continues to go forward, forcing players to find new ways to snag the XP they need to progress. If you’re one of those looking for tips to help with leveling in Happy Aquarium, here are some tricks you can use to help you out.

How Leveling in Happy Aquarium Works?

The leveling track in Happy Aquarium works very similar to the rest of the Facebook games. You will gain XP for every action you perform – from buying and selling a fish to cleaning your tank. You will then need to get about 200,000 of those points to reach the upper levels of the game. As a result, it takes only a few days to reach level 10, but can take an additional few weeks to get to the top of the game when you don’t have the necessary tools to speed up the process.

Fast Tracks to Level 40 and Beyond

There are a few ways to speed up your leveling. To start with, you can go out and find new friends. Each friend will gain you XP when you visit them each day to clean their tank, snag coins from their treasure chests or send them gifts. You will also gain a lot of XP from buying and selling items in the store. Since the resale rate when returning items you already bought is 80%, you can make a nice big profit from reselling items that you might not need or that you just want to flip for easy XP.

If you’re interested in leveling in Happy Aquarium, you need to spend a few minutes developing strategies that will allow you to play the game as fast and as effectively as possible. Don’t waste time on fish that you can’t get back to soon enough to feed and make sure you have lots of friends you can utilize for XP boosting activities. Train your fish, mate your fish, and sell them quickly. These are all things that will boost your XP gains and help you reach level 42 faster than you ever thought possible.

With every Facebook game, there are a variety of details that players need to focus on that will make or break their game play style. With Happy Aquarium, those very details are going to be a tremendously important factory when you start creating long term strategies. In particular, the fish in Happy Aquarium will be very important to how your game progresses and how effective you are at making yourself into a high level player. If you are serious about being one of the gurus of Happy Aquarium, the first step in the process is to develop a good lineup of fish to raise and then how long to raise, train, and mate them for.

Choosing the Right Fish in Happy Aquarium

To start with, you need to develop a good schedule to help yourself in the game. If you know you can only be online every 12 hours, it will not do you any good to choose the 6 and 8 hour fish that will need to be fed more often. However, if you choose the higher level fish, you need to be aware that you still need to logon to feed them occasionally. A 3 day fish is not going to be ready to go in 72 hours if you only feed them once. The best way to handle these situations then is to either buy the 3 day feeders and use them to maintain a grouping of 3 day fish every week or to establish a feeding schedule that will allow you to jump onto the game once or twice a day to get in there and feed your fish.

Which Fish in Happy Aquarium Are Easiest to Maintain?

The easiest fish to maintain are going to be those that take as little time as possible to maintain. Generally speaking, this tends to be the 10-20 hour fish. Goldfish in particular are a good option because they are at 20 hours the easiest fish to get to before the day is up. All you need to do is logon once every day and make sure they are ready to go. Overall though, you’ll need to spend some time developing a list of which fish are cheapest for you to level up personally.

As you can see, there are a lot of factors that will determine how the fish in Happy Aquarium will react and how many coins you can honestly make from them. If you’re serious about developing a long term approach to the game that will allow you to make real profits and level up fast, then you need to spend some time contemplating these issues.

Happiness.  It is a concept that humans have struggled with for millenia.  How is happiness defined? What makes us happy? What should make us happy?  Is happiness on a national or global level more important than individual happiness?  Is happiness something that can even be measured, and if so, what kind of scale would you use to measure it?  Is contentment the same as happiness?

Few people would argue against the individual’s right to be happy, but the question of how that happiness is obtained cannot be ignored, nor can the consequences that a single person’s pursuit of happiness might create for others.  Living in a social society has always meant the sacrifice of some individual happiness for the increased happiness of the greater population.

In modern western society, the concept of individual happiness is very closely tied to material possessions and comfortable housing.  Happiness is measured by the number of things that can provide us with momentary diversions and pleasurable physical circumstances.  If we feel good, then we are happy.  It is a rational, logical assumption informed by a rational, logical philosophical history, but one that has produced many unfulfilled lives and years of deep dissatisfaction.

Happiness is something that we can decide to have more of in our lives, and work towards creating on a conscious level.  It is not something that necessarily ‘just happens’.  It is a frame of mind that humans can create within themselves, regardless of existing external conditions.  This is a choice that human beings do actually have, but in practice, most of us feel powerless when it comes to consciously creating happiness as a daily part of life.  We tend to marvel at the person on TV that has lost both limbs and their entire family in a car crash, only to be able to smile and derive happiness from what they have, rather than become mired in sadness over what they have lost.

Defining Happiness

The first, and possibly most important, step towards making happiness a familiar part of your life is to define what happiness is for yourself.  Too often people are completely conditioned to truly believe that certain things do make them happy, when in fact exactly the opposite is true.  Inhabitants of the West live in a world full of fast-paced activities and pressure to succeed, but are rarely given any time to think about what success might mean to us as individuals, and why we are constantly moving at such a frantic pace. Not to mention what effect this constant pressure might be having on us physically and mentally!  Who has time to think about happiness?  Do I feel good? Then I must be

happy, so lets get back to the important stuff, like work and fulfilling our obligations.  Happiness has almost been relegated into the luxury category, and to expect extended periods of happiness during your lifetime is almost perceived as mildly hedonistic.

In contrast, the tiny island state of Bhutan has, since the mid-seventies measured what is referred to as their GNH indicator. This stands for Gross National Happiness.  It is a national measure taken regularly, much the same as GDP, and one that is taken seriously by the Bhutanese government.  It is, obviously, a very subjective index, and one that is measured using subjective methods, but it does stand as a testament to the important place that personal happiness has in Bhutanese society.

The encouragement to take the time and actually think about whether one is actually happy – or merely existing – reflects the values held by the people of that country, and concurs with the idea that this is absolutely necessary for a healthy life and to understand what it is that your soul is craving to lighten the load of your existence.

So you need to give yourself permission to take some time for reflection on how things actually make you feel in the moment – as you are experiencing them.  Only then will you be able to discover what direction you should start to move towards in your quest for happiness.

You will also need to give yourself permission to actually be happy. This may sound ridiculous to some, but how many of us go on vacation, only to fret about what is happening back at the office the entire time, completely negating the positive benefit any time away might have?  Guilt and self-flagellation have become incredibly popular in western society for some reason, and the idea that it is possible to fulfill all of  your duties and be happy at the same time is a little difficult for some to swallow.

So give yourself permission to be happy and to go out and explore the world, in order to define what happiness is to you on a very personal scale.  Once you have done this and started to build up an idea of what is actually going to move you towards happiness – take one step.

Don’t think about how long it is going to take you to get where you are going. Don’t think about all of the obstacles that are going to stand in your way in the pursuit of your happiness, (because there will be some). Think about the single step you are taking until that step is complete, and nothing else. Revel in the knowledge that what you are doing is contributing directly to your future happiness, even if what you have to do during this particular step is not entirely appealing. Feel the happiness that you will feel when you have achieved whatever it is you are trying to do, or have whatever it is you are trying to obtain. Infuse every part of this first step with the energy that you will have when you are putting final piece of the puzzle in place.

By entering completely into the process -  the now – of what we are doing moment to moment, we can move into a state of flow with the universe that supports and makes effortless what might otherwise be tedious or frustrating.  This state of ease with ourselves and our world will encourage more of the same to come us through the laws of natural attraction.  It also creates within ourselves a sense of peace and satisfaction that can only be described as happiness.

It will take some time to better develop the ability to enter fully into what you are doing, but once you are able to do this and have completed the first step, you will have the sense of achievement that comes with completing something you set out to do – no matter how small. This little boost will propel you towards step two, and make it that little bit easier, that little bit more enjoyable, and soon you will be celebrating the completion of step two and rapidly moving towards step three – all the time giving yourself little happiness and achievement boosts along the way.

By the time you actually arrive where you want to be in your life, you may find that it is quite different from the picture you had when you started. But you will also find that the process of living your life one step at a time has given you a lifetime of satisfaction and peace.  As with any personal or spiritual search, the quest for happiness has as many paths are there are humans on the planet, but like every important journey, it begins with a single step.

THE 528 HERTZ FREQUENCY AND YOU

Dr. Len Horowitz, a leading genetic bio chemist, called the 528 Hertz
frequency “the love signal”. Dr. Horowitz concluded that exposure to
the 528 Hertz frequency enables a person to diminish one’s negative
outlook on life, banish stress and anxiety, and achieve a tangible
feeling of peace and happiness. Dr. Horowitz also stated that exposure
to the 528 Hertz frequency enables the body’s self-healing to
commence, as its DNA-repairing abilities are activated and enhanced.

The quest for happiness is understandable. Now more than ever, stress
and anxiety permeate our lives. We live in a state of flux: job
security is a thing of the past, financial stresses threaten to
disrupt the harmony of family and marriage, and a heavy debt load
burdens our cash flow and forces us to live within the constraints of
a draconic self-imposed budget… just to make ends meet.

And that’s the root of the problem. People don’t just want to make
ends meet. They want to be free, to be able to make choices, and to
have choices available to them. Meaningful choices. People want to
feel relaxed, at peace and loved. Because this is what life is all
about.

The quest for happiness was the starting point for creating Inari.
Within the sparkly flicker of the predominantly blue Inari gemstone
lies the green ray of the 528 Hertz frequency. Because you see, we
were all mentally conditioned from birth to think that love is red.
Roses are red, hearts are red, and they both stand for love. But the
truth is, love is not red: love is green.

In Dr. Horowitz’ own words:

“As it turns out love, 528 Hertz, is central to the core creative
frequencies, converts to 518 nanometers of light – the middle of the
rainbow and center of the green color – which in Eastern theologies
and healing practices resonates the center of your heart, or heart
chakra, and is most important for healing.”

While wearing your Inari gemstone, at times you will notice momentary
flashes of green, as they sparkle amidst the soothing cyan blue of the
overall Inari stone. This is your glimpse of 528 Hertz frequency at
work.

When persons previously unaware of the Inari are first presented with
an Inari specimen, usually they hang on to it. They touch it, come
close to it… and remain close to it. It is quite a sight to see a
person first encountering an Inari. Within moments, their facial
expression lightens up with joy, smiles appear, and the overall energy
and “feel” around that person becomes calm and positive. This is your
Inari hard at work.

INARI AND YOUR WELL-BEING

People choose to wear Inari for a wide variety of reasons.

Under Inari’s calming influence, students can achieve a higher degree
of mental concentration; they can memorize new material quickly and
compose essays exhibiting creative potential, a varied vocabulary and
ability for thorough analysis.

While taking exams, Inari quiets the non-productive mental chatter,
and in the process, it can enable the student to remain calm and
collected; and to perform at his or her best, under otherwise
stressful conditions.

Business persons can find Inari to be of particular assistance, as its
frequency can enable eloquent and convincing speech during sales
presentations.

The wearer of an Inari does not crumble under pressure, but rather
finds the ability to prioritize assigned tasks in a most logical
fashion, and to find within the stamina needed to work hard towards
consistently meeting stringent time deadlines.

With the help of the Inari, public speakers can deliver their message
in a style that is conversational, attention-grabbing, logical and
persuasive. Inari may enable one to conquer the natural fear of public
speaking.

By becoming better at intuitively ascertaining the audience’s needs, a
sales person can sound well informed, came across as an expert in his
field, answer inquiries while sounding fluent and informed, and close
the deal with the ease of a versed professional.

Inari can bring soothing comfort to those who find themselves in the
midst of great and sudden change. A loss of job, a new job, a move,
the end of a relationship, a new relationship all bring the stress of
having to deal with the unknown.

By quieting an over-anxious mind, Inari can help one navigate better
through life’s unexpected twists and turns, feel more positive and
optimistic, and view change as an opportunity to create lasting
abundance and happiness.

Inari’s frequency can improve a person’s capacity for positive social
interaction. The Inari may assist one to overcome a naturally shy and
withdrawn character.

By diminishing doubts and negative self-talk, Inari helps one to
acquire an improved, sunny and upbeat personality… and this is often
the key to forming and maintaining friendships that are sound and
long-lasting.

CARING FOR YOUR INARI GEMSTONE

Your Inari gemstone has been designed and cut in such a way as to
maximize the stone’s sparkle and brilliancy.

Repeated use of soap and hand lotions create a thin film which has the
potential of temporarily decreasing a gemstone’s “fire”. This is true
of diamonds, rubies, sapphires, and of Inari, as well.

To maintain your Inari gemstone looking spectacular, frequently
immerse your Inari in a liquid jewellery cleaner. If unavailable, a
dilute solution of laundry detergent and warm water will produce
similar results.

To ensure that your gemstone is properly cleaned, rub all the stone’s
surfaces (ie top, underneath and sides) with a soft toothbrush
moistened in the jewellery cleaning / detergent solution.

Afterwards, thoroughly rinse the stone under a jet of clean running
water, and proceed to dry it with a soft paper tissue to remove any
watermarks.

Enjoy your beautiful Inari, wear it often, and let its soothing hue
bring well-deserved joy to your heart.

If that doesn’t work, don’t forget that you can go out and find someone willing to swap neighborships with you so that you can both benefit from the relationship. Many people will gladly add people to their friends list for the benefits of a neighbor without actually knowing them. Just make sure that these people are willing to add you so you don’t get refused by a lot of the request you send out – you could easily end up getting yourself banned if you don’t ask first and make sure to mention the game in your requests.

What Your Happy Aquarium Neighbors Can Do for You?

Neighbors are a huge part of the game. They let you get more coins from treasure chests, load up on new content from your fellow players in the form of free gifts, and get more XP by cleaning tanks all over Facebook.

Any player out there who wants to rise to the top of the game needs to go out and find as many Happy Aquarium neighbors as they can. There are limits of course to how many you need. Usually, with most games, if you have 25 friends, you’ll be pretty solidly on your way to the upper reaches of what you need from the game. If you cannot find that many players to work with you, don’t fret. Time and persistence will almost always pay off with these strategies.
