How To Be Happy In Life by emeka94(m): 2:57pm On Jul 07, 2014
ere's how:
1. Stop comparing yourself to other
people. I work in psychiatry and
can tell you first-hand that so many
seemingly happy and successful
people are burning themselves alive
on the fire of their inner turmoil.
Focus on you.
2. Socialize. Even if you are an
introvert, force yourself into social
scenarios that give you the
opportunity to meet people and form
connections. These connections will
put you back in touch with your
humanity.
3. Make healthy decisions. It is
amazing how much exercise and
good diet can change your outlook
on the world around you. The
negative thoughts in your head that
seem so very real and pressing will
melt away.
4. Do something different. Stop
wasting your time trying to find the
"perfect hobby." Pick anything -
whether it's fiber art or coffee
tasting. Find something that you can
put effort into, build competence,
and see results.
5. Get in touch with your anchors.
We tend to lose these anchors as we
get older. Try to better position
yourself within any communities you
once found a home in, whether
that's your family, your
neighborhood, your culture, or your
religion.
6. Look less ahead. Look less
behind. Try to refocus yourself to
the current moment more often.
Start building memories instead of
living in them. Start creating your
future instead of just hoping for a
better one. If you don't do this, your
life will become a fog that can
stretch across your entire time on
earth.
7. Create. Write in a journal. Paint
something. Make up a song even if
you will never perform it. Start to
fashion the relics that you will leave
behind when you are gone.
8. Let go. Forgive those who hurt
you. I'm sorry you were hurt. But if
you do not leave that hurt in the
past, it will follow you like a wolf -
forever casting a dangerous shadow
over everything you do.
9. Worry more about the others.
Many times it is our own narcissism
that destroys us. It seems counter-
intuitive, but take some time each
day to think about the needs of the
other people in your life. Helping
them meet those needs will make
you happier in a way that you might
not understand right now.
0. Stop running. There is no such
place as "away." Travel as far as you
want, but you will still find yourself
waiting for you when you get there.
Pull out your sword. It's time to turn
around and fight the dragons inside
you.
You are mightier than them.
