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 realise that contentment is completely within your power,
everything changes.
1. Practice Gratitude - It doesn’t come naturally, so start practising 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 realise 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 in 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?
