Happiness, maybe it doesn't come because of your self-sabotage?
The human being seeks happiness since he has the use of reason. But happiness is such a short-lived concept that each person has a different concept of its meaning. In addition, our fears and guilt make self-sabotage come into play, which makes the dream task even more difficult, avoiding internal harmony.
Today we talk about how to achieve happiness, avoiding unconscious self-sabotage that hinders us to achieve it, and being clear about what happiness is for me, and what is the best way to reach it.
Avoid self-sabotage
I already wrote an article with 3 tips to avoid self-sabotage, in which I recommended that you be very clear about your goals, connect with your goal, and stop procrastinating. Be clear that you are not an oddball because sometimes you fall into self-sabotage, all people go through there at many times in our lives.
But self-sabotage can be avoided, that's the positive message I'd like you to have clear. Like everything, you can train to be alert when it appears, and take the necessary measures to get it away from our mind. Naturally, it requires training for a while, before we internalize it and it comes out automatically.
How to achieve happiness
Happiness is an emotional state that occurs in the person when he believes he has reached a desired goal. Such a state fosters inner peace, a positive approach to the environment, while stimulating to conquer new goals. It is defined as an internal condition of satisfaction and joy that helps many people.
When fear of success, fear of failure, other fears or laziness prevent us from taking the necessary steps to reach our desired goal, dissatisfaction occurs that leads us away from happiness. The problem is that we do not directly relate that dissatisfaction with what stopped us, and for that reason we do not immediately rectify ourselves to achieve the desired happiness.
Get moving towards happiness
In Eastern philosophy, happiness is conceived as a quality product of a state of internal harmony that manifests itself as a feeling of well-being that lasts over time and not as a mood of temporary origin, as it is generally defined in the West..
Often confused with joy of an emotional and ephemeral nature, happiness endures over time and is identified as a quality, just as being tall, strong or intelligent, a person is happy. While joy is conceived as a state of satisfaction, happiness is considered a state of inner harmony.
According to the western conception of happiness, avoiding self-sabotage that prevents us from taking the steps that bring us closer to happiness is the way to get there. According to the eastern conception of happiness, internal harmony is the way. I personally lean more towards the Eastern conception, although there are many more and all are valid. Find your own path to happiness, and take the necessary steps to reach it.
"Happiness is achieved when what one thinks, what one says and what one does are in harmony" Gandhi.
