Full happiness is not a state, but a path, and this is the path we want to address today, being happy with life implies moments of joy, of course, but this implies more dynamic than static, because it is in motion that we develop.
We wake up every morning with projects and expectations and fall asleep with the satisfaction of another day well past, rather than this common thought of ending another day.
- This kind of happiness creates in us a euphoria contained by the inner knowledge that things.
- At a more or less rapid pace.
- Work.
We are not always aware of our inner state, knowing if anyone is happy with life involves asking several questions and answering them sincerely.
It’s like doing a car checkup. Occasionally it is advisable to test our emotional state to strengthen and regulate the sails of our lifeboat if, in some respects, we are a little adrift.
That’s one of the most important questions we can ask ourselves, it’s not just about avoiding the complaint, it’s about figuring out the reason for a frequently repeated complaint, if this situation is repeated it’s easy to fall into a loop.
Complaints are rooted in frustration, discomfort or perceived harm, we use the complaint as a way to ease tension, however, we know that, far from alleviating this tension, the complaint forces us to focus on the downside of the fact in question.
The complaint loop has two outputs: I accept it or do something to get out of the situation, sometimes even the second output is not available, if the only option is to accept it, discuss the topic, take a lesson and focus on something else as soon as possible.
This is a difficult question, because not everyone around us has been chosen by us, of course, in family or work environments, we will not always find or exist people who can or can contribute something.
Learning to create emotional filters for toxic people is an important step, learning to see how to emotionally affect others is a very healthy exercise that helps us connect with them without negatively affecting them.
Just accept that these are not the right people for you. Attracting the right people into your life is just as important as caring for those who are already there.
The people who make us feel good are the people with which we can be ourselves without the need for a mask, they are the people who support you in what you do or decide and with which you like to be together.
Sometimes we get carried away by the memory of happy moments from the past or move easily to the imaginary world of the future. But there are many things that our present offers us to fully enjoy the small pleasures that create memories for the future.
Do you want to read a good book, spend a whole afternoon cooking, go for a walk and absorb all the details, or sit and watch the movie in your mind?
For each person, the pleasant moments are different and, therefore, it is important to recognize their own, identifying these moments will help you to appreciate how happy you are with your life.
Doing one of the activities that make us feel good, avoiding being stuck with the problems or obstacles that we have in other facets of life, is a good cardinal point to guide us.
The inner smile has little to do with optimism, people who smile for no reason do so because they carry in themselves happiness, a joy that comes from inner peace.
They know that they are not perfect, that they are doing the best they can, they are not afraid of loneliness, they do not compare to others and, above all, they are themselves.
