PERfECT lIVIng: HAPPInEssEMbARKIng onTo 2017 wITH A HAPPy lIfE

Being happy does not mean that everything is perfect. It does not mean that we need

to have a perfect life in order for us to be happy. Happiness is a reflection of our

attitude in being grateful for all the blessings and struggles we have experienced in

our lives the happiness of our lives will depend on the quality of our thoughts. After all,

happiness is a choice, not a result. Nothing will make you happy until you choose to be

happy and this can be done by being grateful and content with what we have.

Being truly happy requires an understanding that true happiness is defined by being

able to make a positive impact in other people’s lives. A sensation we feel when we are

doing good is known as the ‘helper’s high’ and it is produced when your brain releases

endorphins, the feel-good chemicals of the brain. When you do something good for

someone else, your brain’s pleasure centers light up, releasing endorphins - producing

this high.

The BMC Public Health journal concludes that doing good deeds is good for mental

health and has been linked to improved well-being and life satisfaction, and decreased

depression. Sonja Lyubomirsky, Ph.D, a professor of psychology at the University of

California also states that “people who engage in kind acts become happier over time”.

With happiness being the true measure of success, Anandamaya Residences would like

to wish our homeowners a Happy New Year 2017 and a Happy Lunar New Year 2017.

May this year be resourceful, active, and thus bring confidence in everything you do.

May you be blessed with good fortune and good health in the year of the Fire Rooster.

In the book of The Rough Guide to Happiness, therapist Nick Baylis wrote “Good nutrition

in all its forms - from food and sleep to exercise and daylight - will help our mind-body

system thrive profoundly”.

The key to improving your mood with food is to eat more whole foods instead of

processed foods. The Mediterranean diet rich in olive oil, vegetables, fish, and whole

grains reduce depressive symptoms by 30%. We can easily switch white rice to brown

rice, and consume whole grain breads instead of the regular white bread.

Lack of sleep also produces higher rates of stress hormones. So, more and better quality

sleep can make you feel happier. The stress hormone cortisol can also be lowered by

spending time outdoors or exercising in a green/natural environment.

Exercise can help reduce anxiety and improve your mood. The release of feel-good brain

chemicals such as endorphins and dopamine triggers positive feelingsin the body. By

making healthy lifestyle choices, you can have improved overall appearance, prevention

of diseases and increase the length of one’s active life.

Anandamaya Residences would like to support our homeowners in having a healthy

lifestyle by providing the five star facilities you need.

HEAlTHy lIfE,HAPPy lIfE

They accept and embrace themselves and do not

seek approval from others. Self-worth is vital to

happiness. If you don’t feel good about yourself,

it’s difficult to feel good about anything else. Happy

people understand that nobody is perfect, but they

always strive to be a better person each day.

TRAITs of HAPPy PEoPlE

Happy people do not obsess themselves with

tangible rewards or destinations, they prioritize

experiences over possessions and do not try to

measure their lives in terms of how much wealth

they have. Happy people tend to buy experiences

instead of materialistic possessions. Materialistic

possessions can only promise a temporary

sensation of happiness, while experiences like travel

promote happiness - long after the holiday ends.

Happy people is that they always live in

the moment. They focus on living life in

the present and focus on making the best

out of every day. They do not dwell in the

past nor are they worried about what the

future might be. After all, happiness is not

about reaching a destination or achieving

a goal, it’s about enjoying the journey that

is life.

MoMEnTIn THE

In the Journal of Happiness Studies by Ryan Howell, a researcher from

the San Francisco State University mentions that having a balanced time

perspective can make people more vital, more grateful, and more satisfied

with their lives. It is okay to have fond past memories, but spending

too much time remembering the past can keep you from enjoying the

present. The same goes into worrying too much about the future. It will

also hinder us from enjoying the present, although having future goals is

beneficial so our present can be more meaningful with something to look

forward to and to work towards.

Living in the moment can be as simple as focusing on one task at a time.

When we are at work, we often dream of a vacation, and while we are

on vacation, we worry about work. We should relish in the task at hand.

Often, we are too caught up in a fast paced environment, and it pressures

us to move and do things quickly. We need to remind ourselves to slow

down, tune into the sights and sounds of our surroundings, and awaken

our senses to the world around us.

gAggEnAuWhen it comes to luxury kitchen appliances, Gaggenau

has been crowned the leader of the market for many

years. Originated from Germany, Gaggenau is at the

forefront of the market and has been the innovator,

especially when it comes to design and functionality -

uncompromising, and extraordinary and these are the

contradiction, yet this reflects the true expression of

their brand’s core DNA. The design and functionality

of the kitchen appliances should still be relevant in 20

years time, and still look stunning in all kitchens.

products ranging from cooking, ventilation, dish

care, and cooking appliances. All Gaggenau products

are beacons in the kitchen appliances scene, but

specifically, the full surface induction cooking range and

the Gaggenau ovens are legendary. In 2017, Gaggenau

launched a new 90cm oven EB333 known as “The Icon”.

brand anniversary.

It is with lots of care and thought that the Gaggenau

Design Team at the Global HQ in Germany approach

innovations. Gaggenau is not a brand that brings out

a new feature or color for each product each season.

Their innovations are done with taste, and always

having to meet their highest standard. Gaggenau’s

priority is in the functionality and user friendliness as

they would like to make cooking not only easy, but

a pleasure to their customers.
