However, happiness isn\u2019t just a single state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Gratitude <\/em>is related to happiness, but it\u2019s an active process: It means taking time and energy to appreciate what you have and what brings meaning to your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Joy<\/em> is a brief state of intense happiness. Brown believes that joy stems from a feeling of deep connection and appreciation, and that it has a spiritual aspect\u2014a sense of experiencing something greater or more powerful than ourselves. Joy can occur in response to a person, an environment, or an experience\u2014for example, seeing someone you love, standing by a beautiful waterfall, or losing yourself in a dance can all <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/does-it-spark-joy-marie-kondo-konmari-method\/\">spark joy<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Contentment <\/em>is a pleasurable feeling that comes from knowing your physical, emotional, and spiritual needs have been met. It\u2019s the satisfaction that comes from finishing your work, whether you\u2019re finished for the day, the week, or the rest of your life. Brown says that contentment is a mild feeling\u2014if joy is at the high end of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/happiness-formula\/\">happiness spectrum<\/a>, contentment is at the other end.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Tranquility <\/em>is closely related to contentment: It\u2019s the peace that comes from having no work to do. In other words, whereas contentment is the satisfaction of finishing your work, tranquility is the pleasure of having no upcoming demands on your time or energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brown also says that our culture tends to devalue contentment and tranquility. People believe every moment should be joyful or exciting, so they constantly chase those highs, making simple contentment feel dull by comparison. However, it\u2019s impossible to be joyful all the time\u2014Brown suggests learning to enjoy moments of contentment and tranquility, instead of being disappointed that we\u2019re not experiencing something more intense.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-when-we-experience-loss-sadness\"><strong>When We Experience Loss: Sadness<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To begin, <strong><em>sadness <\/em><\/strong><strong>is a painful feeling that we experience in response to loss. <\/strong>Sadness is a fundamental human emotion\u2014in fact, Brown says it\u2019s one of the few states that people regularly report being able to identify.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While sadness is driven by loss (for example, of a loved one, a cherished item, or even of a comforting idea), it also implies acceptance of that loss. <strong>That makes sadness different from <\/strong><strong><em>grief<\/em><\/strong><strong>, which combines painful feelings of loss with a desire to get back what we lost, even if that\u2019s impossible.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Hopelessness <\/em>is closely related to sadness. Hopelessness is a response to loss of control (or perceived loss of control)\u2014it\u2019s the feeling that we\u2019re unable to change things for the better.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brown says that hopelessness has three root causes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Not knowing what we want<\/li><li>Knowing what we want, but not how to get it<\/li><li>Knowing what we want and how to get it, but still not believing that we can<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>She adds that the combination of hopelessness and sadness is called <em>despair<\/em>. Despair means that we\u2019re suffering, and we don\u2019t think there\u2019s anything we can do about it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We often say we&#8217;re happy or sad, but what exactly is happiness?
