Although I know several things I can do to make myself happier when I am upset or feeling down, I must say it is not easy to do it.
It is normal for me to focus on the negative things that are happening to me which will cause me to spiral downwards and become stuck.
So how? What can I do? I found the below 2 questions to be really helpful.
1st Decide > Do I really want to get out of the negativity?
2nd Think + Action > What can I do now to feel better?
Most of the time, I actually know what I can do to feel better. Somehow or rather, I just don’t do it. I may give tons of excuses for not taking action. Then I ask why I am so sad, down or etc. I don’t take action to help myself feel better, of course I am not going to feel better. If I want to wait for others to make me feel better, I just got to keep waiting! If I can do it myself, why don’t I do it? Stop giving the control of my own happiness to others. Control it myself. Happiness starts from self. Start taking control of my own happiness.
Am I saying that it is easy? Of course not! All I am saying is that, it will be worth it.
