Is extreme happiness good for your body?

In the last 4-5 years I’ve rediscovered the joy of being religious, when I listen to worship music, I feel insanely happy, as if I’m high on drugs. I wonder if this is good for my body and mind.

It is, so long as you keep it in perspective. Life is not pure happiness. Life is full of ups and downs. So the only risk with extreme happiness, is that when things go wrong (which they inevitably will), the difference between the happiness and sadness is greater. Which ends up feeling a lot worse. You don’t want the problems in life to be exacerbated because of great highs.


I think the last point is that emotions can be addictive. And when you’re left without that emotion, you go looking for it in extreme fashion, which can be unhealthy.


All of that being said. Let’s put things into perspective. Which is better? Extreme happiness or extreme sadness? Everyone should say extreme happiness. Does it sound like your extreme happiness is unhealthy? Of course not. Listening to music isn’t unhealthy.


There is absolutely nothing wrong with being extremely happy. Just remember, it’s healthy to have things outside of one single thing that makes you happy. One single source of extreme happiness would concern me. If that’s the case, I’d work to broaden my horizons. Additionally, it’s healthy to keep things in perspective, and remember that life is full of those ups and downs. And that’s ok!


Overall, if I were in your shoes. I wouldn’t change anything at all. Keep doing what makes you happy. Just remember to keep everything in perspective. Definitely don’t change anything tho (this answer is meant to only provide perspective, not to scare you or change your actions).

It is amazing for your body and mind. I recently learned that listening to birds, even on a track, decreases stress. An instinct from our hunting gathering ancient oast, where there birds, it is safe. What you are experiencing is prana, the lifeforce of yoga in your regular heartbeat, increased breathing and circukatuon. Keep listening to anything that makes you feel noticeably good, its a keeper.

Waiting for a Star to fall by boy meet girl is my religious jam type song since I was 5. Get the same feeling. Lame right?
