Religious people more likely to be happy

[Laila]

I cannot speak for anyone else....but i have noticed when i pray all my prayers on time....i have a sense of...... hmmm.... happiness i guess you can say. I feel more pleased with myself, i feel lighter...it just feels right. I can also say, its a stress reliever. When praying and focusing on your duas, and not letting things get to you for that 5-10 minutes, it does feel good. Even when i am really not in a good mood or worried about something, i always do nafl prayers, and it helps

Yoga, Meditation, a good diet, Marijuana, body building, sight seeing, a new hobby can all contribute to make one feel happy in some way or another.

When your body is active such as doing exericse, your body releases endorphines which make you happy.

Every guys, your brain is the control centre, its where your happiness comes and goes, a lot of factors can contribute to make you feel happy and make you feel upset, I am sure a individual who lives in a Secular society would feel happy following their faith, but for example a Shia in Pakistan may not feel Happy through Religon because elements of his faith consider him/her to not Muslim.

Its all about how the Mind works.

Are you discrediting the remembrance of Allah?
