In all probability that there are things that you would like to change about both you and your life \u2013 I\u2019ve rarely come across anybody who is unconditionally happy.  Of course, people often imagine that if they improve themselves, get fit, buy a new car, go on a great holiday that, then, they\u2019ll be happy.  That kind of \u2018happy\u2019, however, is fleeting and superficial.  Real <a href='http:\/\/www.gurdy.net' target='_blank'>happiness<\/a> should be lasting and not based on having this or doing that.<\/p>\n<p>The only place that you discover happiness is within.  Sadly, that is a foreign country to the vast majority of people[spin] because the normal person\u2019s \u2018within\u2019 is [spin]hidden from them by what psychologists call \u2018The Sentry\u2019, a defence mechanism that we\u2019ve all got which prevents other people getting into our heads to brainwash us.  Unfortunately, this \u2018Sentry\u2019 keeps us out too!  For a very good reason \u2013 or, at least, it appears reasonable until you venture a closer look at how we operate \u2013 our beliefs about how the world works and ourselves are stored in our subconscious.  You wouldn\u2019t want to go messing with those, would you?  Or would you?  Because most of us believe that we\u2019re inadequate at least in some way, most of us aren\u2019t 100% happy with who we are.  That\u2019s because our beliefs aren\u2019t grounded in fact but on an accumulation of what might be called the programming or conditioning that we were subject to during what is generally described as our formative years.   This programming or conditioning is both the source of your unease with yourself and, just as importantly, everything that you believe to be wrong with your life currently.<\/p>\n<p>Our reality is created from beliefs \u2013 it is our own personal beliefs that automatically dictate our behaviour, our actions, our reactions and our interactions with others.   It is through this process that we, ourselves, create our version of reality.  What\u2019s going on in your head, at the deepest subconscious level, literally creates your life.  And it\u2019s not real, it\u2019s concocted from what others did to us or for us during those formative years.  So of course you\u2019d want to go messing with your beliefs, because normal beliefs hold normal people back.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ve got to go beyond your beliefs.  You must get to the inner real you, to <a href='http:\/\/www.gurdy.net' target='_blank'>find true happiness<\/a> \u2013 that is where you\u2019ll unearth a you that is unstained by the crap of normal conditioning, unspoilt by all the beliefs that mess up our normal lives \u2013 crazy beliefs that keep us in our place \u2013 like we should know our place, like you\u2019ve got to work hard to be a success, like pain is never far behind pleasure, that pride comes before a fall \u2013 prepare your own list.<\/p>\n<p>Forget that nonsense.  Indeed, forget about who you thought you were and discover who you really are \u2013 and the life that you can really have.  Your mind\u2019s obsessed with the normal crap \u2013 stop it.  I offer my clients various forms of \u2018mental calming measures\u2019 \u2013 meditation if you will \u2013 you\u2019ve got to calm down, wake up and see the light.  Only then you will find true happiness.<\/p>\n<iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Fwisdomhealthprosperity.com%2Fselfimprovementmastery%2Fclearing-your-mind-for-happiness%2F&amp;layout=standard&amp;show_faces=true&amp;width=450&amp;action=like&amp;colorscheme=light&amp;height=80\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:80px;\" allowTransparency=\"true\"><\/iframe><div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container\"><div class=\"a2a_kit addtoany_list\"><a class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\" href=\"http:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share_save\"><img src=\"http:\/\/wisdomhealthprosperity.com\/selfimprovementmastery\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_256_24.png\" width=\"256\" height=\"24\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nvar a2a_config = a2a_config || {};\na2a_config.linkname=\"Clearing Your Mind For Happiness\";\na2a_config.linkurl=\"http:\/\/wisdomhealthprosperity.com\/selfimprovementmastery\/clearing-your-mind-for-happiness\/\";\na2a_config.onclick=1;\na2a_config.show_title=1;\n\/\/--><\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/static.addtoany.com\/menu\/page.js\"><\/script>\n\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you happy with your life or, indeed, with yourself?
