This is an introduction to what the workshop is about. To follow the material you can purchase my book "Enjoy! How to Create a Positive Narrative" on Amazon. At the beginning of each lesson there is a poem, for this chapter the poem is "The Basement" and a meditation for the first few minutes, this meditation is on unhappy moment.
In this lecture we compare pleasure and pain, which are physical, to happiness and happiness, which are psychological, and then to joy, which is spiritual. To understand our minds better we analyze the constant back and forth of aversion to things we don't want and attachment to things we want.
Comparison is the best way to ruin a moment. It can be better than or worse than something else.
Some of the sources of unhappiness are: self absorption, pride in misery and the struggle for success.
Other sources of unhappiness are addiction to excitement, mental fatigue, schadenfreude and remorse.
Oscar Wilde had it all and then he lost it all and found wisdom.
The joy workshop was created during the pandemic to help some people find inner peace. Then it was turned into a book "Enjoy! How to Create a Positive Narrative." This course follows the book, which can be found on Amazon $9.99 The structure is based on eight chapters or classes. 1. The Burden of Happiness. This is wanting to be happy all the time 2. The Role of Sadness To find joy it is necessary to accept sadness. 3. Escaping to the Future. Joy can only be found in the present moment and always anticipating something that is common is a condition that prevents us from enjoying what is happening now. 4. Sources of Happiness. There are certain activities that give us more joy than others. 5. Positive Vocabulary Changing your vocabulary is the first step. 6. Positive Thoughts Positive words create positive thoughts. 7. Detox the past. There is the need to revisit our old narrative and change. 8. Find your story. The only way to become authentic is to filter the input and select songs, books and movies that help us find our true identity. In order to change something it is necessary to first understand it.
