Happiness is a state of mind. It is, like all emotions, brought on by a notion. Changing the way you think about your surroundings can have a significant impact on how you feel. “One thought leads to heaven, one thinking goes to hell,” Buddha remarked.
Here are Things To Avoid To Stay Happy Today, Tomorrow & Everyday
1. Don’t look for it in the wild
Even though we all know this one, too many of us get it muddled up… We start to believe we’re unhappy because we’re deficient in some way. This doesn’t just happen; there’s a purpose behind it: our society reinforces the myth. Fit, healthy, affluent, loved, and successful are all “standards” set by television, magazines, and the Internet. They also gently convey the idea that who we are now is insufficient.
We do it to ourselves as well. We look in the mirror and see what isn’t there rather than the magnificent beauty of who we are, and we tell ourselves that we will be happy “until”… And the whole time, we’re missing out on something that could be ours today and every day: happiness.
2. Avoid becoming engrossed in concern
“Don’t worry, be happy” is a song that is sometimes easier to sing than to live by. We call it to love when we are concerned about our families. We call it clever to be concerned about our finances. Worry, on the other hand, is neither of these things, and it steals not only our joy but also our dreams. Worry, on the other hand, never does anyone any good. Worry has no redeeming qualities.
Learn to prevent concern by doing everything you can to ensure that things move as smoothly as possible, and then letting go. Believe that you did your best and that the result will be beneficial. This will be difficult at first, but with practice, it will become easier.
3. Don’t cling to previous grudges
Many of us make a bargain between our happiness and recalling past injustices. We argue that remembering how others have treated us would help us avoid making the same mistakes again, yet all we end up doing is making excuses for feeling angry, upset or betrayed.
Forgiveness is what is required. Self-forgiveness for allowing it to happen to you. And forgiveness of the other person—perhaps not for the offence itself, but for the harm that occurred to that person as a result of it. “Forgive the why, if not the what,”- Lazaris.
And just because you’ve forgiven someone doesn’t mean you should invite them back into your life. It simply means that you permit yourself to be happy.
4. Don’t dismiss what needs to be healed
When something is ready to heal, you can tell. It’s not going away. It’s in your face every day, driving you emotionally insane. It also robs you of your joy. It is impossible to feel both grief and enjoyment at the same moment. Also, keep in mind that everything can be fixed.
If you notice an emotional pattern that begs to be healed, make it your goal to mend it. Find a book, a meditation, or a professional who can help you heal what you need to heal to go on to a life of pure joy, which is your birthright.
5. Remember who you are
We can get caught up in the drama going on around us, making what is going on in our world appear bigger than it is. We lose sight of our inherent divinity and connectedness to the Divine. The bottom line is that you are a sliver of divine consciousness. You are magnificent by nature, and you are deserving of a life that you genuinely enjoy. You are also adored. L. O. V. E. D… In a big way. Allowing that would be a huge service to yourself.
