Resentment: Sometimes, we harbour resentment or dislike
towards other people and we do not realise that this would have a
negative impact on our moods. When you harbour negative feelings, you
end up poisoning your soul and this would keep you from experiencing
true happiness.
Holding Grudges: It takes a lot of energy to hold a
grudge as you keep focusing on your anger and ways to make a person pay
for whatever it was they did to you. To avoid this bad habit, make sure
you let people know when they have done something to offend you. If the
person apologises, forgive and move on; if they don’t, still let go
anyway. Holding a grudge or keeping malice will do no one any good.
Not Living In The Moment: We are all so focused on our
dreams, or plans and our future that we sometimes forget to enjoy the
moment. The only thing that is sure, when it comes to time, is right
now. The future is unknown, but if you find ways to enjoy the “here and
now”, then you will find yourself less stressed and in a better mood.
Being Unappreciative: While we are enjoying the here
and now, we should also not forget to be grateful for what we have. We
all want better cars, jobs, more money, a bigger house, better looks,
etc, but we sometimes forget to simply be grateful for what we already
have. So, take a look around you, count your blessings and be grateful
for the things you have, no matter how small they seem to you.
Not Being Helpful: Knowing you have held out a helping
hand for someone who really needs it is truly a beautiful feeling. So,
try to extend whatever you can give for people that need it. It does not
have to be financially. Offering an encouraging word to someone who
feels down, smiling at a stranger, listening to someone who desperately
needs someone to talk to or simply being there for the people around you
are ways you can help. You will find yourself feeling lighter than air,
knowing that you gave someone a reason to smile and believe.
No Hobbies: Having or doing something special that is
just for you is a great way to keep your mood up. A lot of people do not
realise the importance of having a hobby and they assume it is a waste
of time, but this is a huge misconception. Having something that makes
you feel good, regardless of the normal everyday hectic life, is a great
way to unwind and remind yourself that life is short.
These are just a few of the things that could leave you feeling
unhappy with tips on how to bring the required changes into your life.
Remember, you only live once and it is important that you make the best
out of whatever you have been given.
