Some stereotypes and social labels in our heads prevent us from loving ourselves and enjoying life.
So how do you get rid of them and become happier?
1. The pursuit of the ideal. Perfection is an illusion, it does not exist. Learn to see mistakes as opportunities for professional and interpersonal growth. It is an experience that makes you wiser every day.
2. Search for the culprits. Lack of money or failure in personal life is your responsibility. When you shift the blame onto others or circumstances, you play the role of the victim. Take responsibility for your life, for what you feel, and what you do.
3. Condemnation of others. Every time you judge others, you react to what worries you in yourself. If you think that a person is evil, then you see this quality in yourself. Otherwise, how could you understand this? Responsibility for one’s beliefs and judgments makes it possible to change.
4. Rivalry. The need to fight for a place under the sun is the desire to assert oneself and please one’s ego. Stop comparing yourself to others, compare only to yourself in the past.
5. Race for happiness. Learn to find happiness in the little things, no need to wait for the weekend to feel like a living person. Every day is a gift, every moment is important. Do not live in the past, appreciate what is now.
6. Concerns about the future. There is something in life that you cannot control. When you start to worry, tell yourself, “Time will tell.” Trust the flow of life and believe that everything happens at the right time.
7. Justification of other people’s expectations. Life is given once, choose what and for whom you spend your time.
