THE PROGRAM FOR HIGH PSYCHOLOGICAL HEALTH

WHAT WORKS TO CREATE HAPPINESS

This will be linked more. Meanwhile if something isn't linked, use the site's search engine (see "search", in navigation header, above). Email me (contact) if you are starting this program, so I can prioritize the linking, for your easier use, and/or to set it up so that I can guide you, via your questioning and comments, in doing this at a higher level.

This is the order in which you should do the steps. Read the links as if they are pages or sections of a book. They build on each other over time, and some need to be practiced so that they are installed. The final result is that one is happy virtually every day, experiencing virtually no stress all day, and smiling alot.

Every bit of time spent to develop these will pay off with many, many, many better times, plus they will save you directly much wasted time and time fixing problems such that you'll be spending less time in total - i.e. you will have more time for other things than you had before the process!

Time spent < Time saved

(less than)

Time saved = Eliminated time that was 1) wasted, no or low payoff and 2) time

spent fixing problems

Unhappiness eliminated = Not feeling badly about 1. problems, 2. self, 3. future

Net return on time: Huge, priceless!

(And we set up a way to measure whether to keep on learning in an area. It is not an endless treadmill, as we see and measure how much ahead we are at each milestone.)

IDENTIFYING WHERE I AM AT

Where am I at? The tests first. These help to set baselines to measure against.

1st: Overall life test

2nd: Psychological Tests - 1st 2 at least. (Consider the stress and straight thinking tests in the sidebar.)

Choose among these for the various areas of life: Life Management Tests, Ratings, And Monitoring - Where Are You, Where Do You Want To Go, Monitoring.

WHAT WORKS

What does healthy thinking look like. (You must clearly know what something looks like if you are to go toward it and then achieve it.)

What does a happy life look like.

What are the creators of happiness (We have "miswants" that do not actually lead to happiness, so we need to differentiate and sort out what actually works.)

WHAT DOESN'T WORK (AND NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED)

The necessity to remove the psychological barriers and the "feeling bad"s.

Correcting wrong beliefs into workable guidelines - You must be convinced of the corrected beliefs to have a happy life. What should they be? Healthy Beliefs To Install. See the "Specific Beliefs - Examples And Corrections, Etc." in the right hand column of the Beliefs And Thoughts, Contents, Links page.

Something is wrong

Something is missing, versus there's plenty for sure

Stopping all self and other criticism - Getting rid of good/bad, right/wrong, punish

syndrome

There is danger (Really? Not so much, really.)

Wants vs. needs

Ascertaining uncertainty - Living in "sufficient certainty" and confidence, for

life!

Mistaken identity versus who I really am.

Dependency/victim role - And the myths of powerlessness and helplessness

Responsibility and power in life

Cultural beliefs to correct
