Be Content and Satisfied People
Be Content and Satisfied People
If you want
others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice
compassion. - the Dalai Lama
Most people
who feel happy with their lives have specific thought patterns and
habits. No outside source can give you feelings of happiness, contentment, and
satisfaction.
The moment
you realize that contentment is completely within your power, everything
changes.
1. Practice
Gratitude - It doesn’t come naturally, so start practicing it. The more you do it,
the easier it gets. Gratitude is such a wonderful habit to get into.
2. Take
Care of Your Body -
3. Be Kind
- spread that goodwill!
4.
Cultivate Mindfulness and Enjoy the Moment. Pay attention to every movement and
sense. When you do, you might just find you feel happier overall.
5. Be
Curious - Learning should never end.
6. Meditation
helps you clear your mind and become more in control of it.
7. Let Go
of Grudges and Excuses. This is totally within your power!
Find Your
Happiness - It’s not up to anyone else to provide happiness in your life. When
you realize this and start making changes accordingly, life starts to happen
for you as opposed to happening to you.
Ways to Take a Mental Vacation
More must
be done, within the shortest possible time. Mental vacations are basically an
attempt to unplug, relax, enjoy, and rejuvenate before heading back to normal
life. During mental vacations, everything that is not pleasant is expelled. You
experience calm and peace, to place your mind in a state of harmony and
stability.
1. Listen
To Soothing Music
2. Play
Your Favourite Instrument
3. Read A
Nice Book
4. Take A
Walk
5. Look At
Nice Pictures
6. Meditate
8. Sleep
The result
of all of this is that once a person gets a job or starts a business, they are
compelled to work more than is required, or is healthy.
We Are
Addicted to Being Busy
The result
of this was that rather than looking for better careers, people just focused on
doing the best in what they were already doing.
It is good
to be dedicated, committed, and even passionate about your work. It is good to
stay focused and do your best, but what is not good is tying your personality
and self-esteem to your work. The truth is that things don’t always go smoothly
in this hyper-competitive world we find ourselves in today.
One moment
you feel on top of the world, and the next you feel useless. And because you’ve
once felt the emotional high from succeeding, you would only be tempted to push
yourself harder – by working 90+ hours a week, and even on the weekends, day
and night... no days off.
You
essentially place your self-esteem on something very volatile and tentative.
Soon, you move from being a hard worker to being a workaholic. You put your
health, relationships, and sanity on the line, and for what? How meaningful is
the work if it makes you question your purpose and worth every time?
