10 things to eliminate

from your life to be happy

Happiness is not something that is achieved, it is a state of mind. Like many things in life, to be happy you need to nurture your happiness and constantly feed positive thoughts for your mental health.

To be happy you need to begin with yourself and make necessary changes in life that help grow happiness and not hinder it. Have you ever looked back at times in your life when you felt truly happy? Think about these times and what was happening around you. Were you being kind to yourself and allowing the positive energy to flow into your life? Had you let go of negative thoughts or negative environments that were holding your happiness back?

The first place to start simply is with positive thoughts, daily exercising, mediation and a little time put aside just for yourself. 

It’s time to take control of your own life and to be responsible for your own happiness. No one controls your happiness – you control it. There are times in life where happiness is hidden under many layers of deep sadness. These times can take months, even years to finally work your way through everything. Take each day, one at a time, remembering how important your happiness is for your physical and mental health.

If you want to be happy, truly happy then here are 10 things you can eliminate from your life to help you achieve a happier state of mind:

  • Start eliminating your fears. Stop letting the fear of what could happen prevent you from making anything happen. When you start to eliminate your fears, you open up all the possibilities for your dreams to actually come true. Fear is not real, it is simply the thoughts you maintain. You control your fears, so start letting them go.
  • Remove negative self-talk. Why is it often the person we SHOULD love the most, we treat the worst? What you say to yourself will either ‘lift you up‘ or ‘bring you down’. You cannot escape your own thoughts, so start to make them positive ones.
  • Stop making excuses. The excuses will always be there to hide behind, unfortunately, life will not. If you really want something, you will find a way to make it happen. If you don’t, you will make excuses. Excuses are not productive, they only hold you back.
  • Complaining will get you nowhere. Complaining about something that has happened does not change the outcome. Complaining generates negative emotions and wastes a lot of time you could actually be making a difference.
  • Put an end to your past. The past cannot be changed, cannot be forgotten and cannot be erased. The energy wasted in the past serves no purpose and could be used to creating the future of your dreams.
  • Stop blaming others. You are responsible for your own mistakes, no one else. Mistakes are something you own and the perfect opportunity to learn. Get off the blaming merry-go-round and take responsibility for your own actions.
  • Give up the need for control. Let go of the control, it is exhausting. Allow things to happen without feeling the need to control every action.
  • Remove the desire to criticise. No one will ever know what another person is going through. Take the energy used to criticise others and use it to improve yourself instead.

 

  • Eliminate the need to remain the same. Allow change into your life. It takes strength to accept change as it awakens the fear inside. Start by allowing yourself to change, by eliminating some (or all) of these negative elements and opening yourself up to true happiness.
  • Banish the need to always be right. Let go of the need to always be right as often this comes to the detriment of those around you.

 

Habits can be difficult to break but with a little practice and patience, you can turn your day around to starting each day off on a positive note.

Have an awesome day.
