Become Happier In Life

Many people feel that

things like money, a better job, better relationships..etc

will make them happy. 

In reality, to find true contentment

you must look inside yourself and learn to be your own best

friend. That means you have to trust, love, and care for

yourself just as you do the people you consider to be close

to you.

Following are steps that you can incorporate into your life

that will help you to feel more empowered and happy about

yourself!

Begin to lift yourself up, not put yourself down. If you

don't like something about yourself, work to change it. If

you can't change it, simply accept it. Don't beat up on

yourself with negative self-talk. You're not likely to

change for the better when you fill yourself with negative

thoughts.

Give yourself positive rewards. When you do something that

you are proud of give yourself a small reward. Try not to

wait for others to praise you because you may grow resentful

if the praise doesn't come. Pat your own back, it is a great

feeling that can stay with you for a long time.

Forgive yourself. I doubt that you would keep scolding a

child over and over for making a mistake so don't do that to

yourself. Give yourself the gift of forgiveness when you

make a mistake. After that, work to figure out what lesson

you can learn, and use it to make better choices the next

time around.

Enjoy your successes. Most people can remember all of the

details of depressing, painful or even embarrassing events

that happened many years ago. What if you did the same thing

with all of your wins? Try to remember all of the triumphs

and accomplishments that you've made and keep that memory

with you and think about it at least once a week.

Always remember to celebrate your wonderful qualities! You

will soon discover that the more you love yourself, the more

you will be able to give love to others - and the more

others will be able to love you!
