Yeah people who are not nutritionally deprived nor thirsty , should be able to be happy. In Theory - but in reality / most people have much larger problems that it would be unlikely to be possible to be happy.

Such as debt - death of family/friend - sickness

@student135 Yes there are much bigger problems to be handled. The key to being able to bring your best to your problems is taking care of your physical self. When your body is functioning optimally, you are more creative, resourceful and open to new possibilities. Test it then decide.

Being happy is the default for survival, not negativity.Happiness makes you succeed and improve your life, relationships, etc.Negativity makes you sick not adaptible.

[AcademyofInfluence]

@DJK20 Happiness is default when you learn to ignore your mind. Happiness is your natural state underneath the mental chatter. Most people are enamored with all the crap their mind says. With further examination, one realizes that the mind defaults to negativity. Google this phrase and you will find a harvard study that demonstrates what I'm talking about, "When the mind wanders, so does happiness"

Hello Matthew,

Drunk Monkeys aside... how are you getting on with your braces? I was told yesterday that I need to have four teeth removed before I have my braces fitted. How long have you had yours? How has it affected you? I need to have braces just like yours but when I found out I nearly cried twice in the orthodontist's chair! I'm just not sure I will feel comfortable with braces. You look quite confident though, maybe it's different for girls? :) Just wondering...

[AcademyofInfluence]

@bangzoom26 The Drunk Monkey is exactly what is resisting you getting braces. Mine did too. I had to use my techniques in order to stay happy about the braces. Takes mental discipline to remember that braces aren't the end of the world. You can imagine the discipline I've had to implement in order to keep The Drunk Monkey at bay given that I make 15-20 new videos every month. You can do it do. Braces aren't bad. The Drunk Monkey's resistance to them is what causes the suffering.

lower awareness vrs higher awareness. Lower awareness is a lower vibration, and a sponge for negative energy, but it can be converted in to positive or love energy, which is why you need to stay focused so that you convert your thoughts and make something ueful out of them. Creation is love. It's a cycle that requires awareness.
