I just want to be happy and fulfilled. I didn’t choose to be alive, but I am. I want to enjoy life.
Since To experience a particular emotion intentionally requires action, here are four actions I think I should do to experience ginhawa more:
- Curate my environment (cf. Enhance the experience of a mental state by modifying the environment).
- Perform actions that generate the emotion I desire (cf. Actions lead to emotions; Indirect interaction theory per Patterson; this also involves Task management).
- Think thoughts that generate the emotion I desire (cf. Thoughts lead to emotions).
- Practice presence, so that I get to catch the emotion I desire when it arises (cf. The only thing you can truly control is your attention).
