If you want to be happier, it’s all about taking control of what you do each day. Choose to ditch these following joy sucking and soul searing habits. Some of them may surprise you.
- Holding Negative Beliefs – Our relationships have the ability to drag us down or lift us up. Avoid the vortex of negativity that whirls around other people.
- Denying Your True Worth – Adapting or suppressing yourself in order to make others feel better will never create win win outcomes.
- Living a Facade – Every time you act out of alignment with you values you shrink and become disconnected from your soul.
- Striving to Meet Expectations – It is not selfish to live for yourself. While everyone has an opinion and expectations of what is best for you, only you know the road-map for your happiness. Tune out the noise of the world and tune into your intuition.
- Negative Self Talk – Your mind can run out of control with negative self talk unless you take control, interrupt it and feed your mind new empowering messages instead.
Come back tomorrow to learn more happiness killing habits.
Good common sense ideas. Odd though how the drudge of daily life can flush these down the drain. Must try harder….

Nothing in life stays the same forever – be it good things or bad things. So if you are facing troubles that you can’t seem to get out if, do not despair. Remember instead that God will always help you find a way out. Just hand on and do not lose sight of your faith because the problems you are facing won’t be able to break your spirit – they are meant to make you stronger.

The funny thing about relying on the abrahamic god is that it would seem to rule out so many of the world’s peoples. Presumably the Christian, Muslim and Jewish god are the same. But I wonder, in this context, who the Hindus should rely on. Or the Buddhists. Or Sikhs.

Hindus have many deities. Buddha is for Buddhist and Sikhs have a line of Gurus.

Yes, quite. There is not much to choose between any of them really. All such gurus and gods are probably equalin their powersor their impotence.

The expectations of others have been my biggest tripping point. But knowing that has been half the battle to resolving the issue.

We all need someone to hang on to. We all need a listening ear, or someone who would take some sense into us and allow us to see things for what they really are. If your vision is clouded and your faith is beginning to crumble, building your support group will go a long way. Choose the people you are closest to and surround yourself with their love and light, but more importantly, keep God at the center of your life.

Look at the bigger picture. Sometimes, we get too caught up in our own misery that we fail to think clearly.
