I used to think that my happiness was directly related to the outcomes of the things I did. For example, if someone said something mean about me, I'd feel sad. But now I know that my happiness does not depend on what happens to me.
We must detach our minds' emotional reaction (i.e., disappointment) towards an event's outcome, while still acknowledging its occurrence so that we can be happy regardless of what happens.
It is important for us not only to understand this but also to practice detaching ourselves emotionally when necessary, so as to ensure contentment even during difficult times.
This means accepting what has happened without further judgment and detaching oneself from any negative emotional reactions.
I get it: This goes against everything that is naturally inside of you. Many times, we feel like "if things don't go my way, I have every right to be upset and disappointed," and while that is true, you do have every right - it doesn't help you in the end!
However, Our emotions become harsher as a result of this action and that leads to even more frustration on both sides of the experience. It's not worth it when considering how much time passes before any sort of calm returns to your life. Sometimes we need to step back from what has failed us and take a few deep breaths before making any rash decisions pertaining to what happened.
The detaching of emotions is a personal choice. It has nothing to do with "how things turn out."
It's possible to choose how we feel in those moments.
It might not be easy sometimes to detach from our feelings - especially when they are so intense and painful. But I'm telling you now, you can get through this too if you just stay detached for a little while longer!
We don't need other people or things to make us happy. You can create your happiness.
Don't forget: You deserve happiness!
Your value, your worth and happiness come from within. It is too easy to base these things on success, performance or outcomes but they are much more complicated than that.
You can find strength even if the world doesn't go your way; you just have to know where it comes from first!
It's something that can be developed over time.
Life is hard. Everyone faces challenges and difficulties, but if you pay attention to the good in your life with a mindful approach, it will help make things easier on those tough days when everything seems bleak.
In finding true happiness, we need to detach our emotions from the things that are happening in our life and not let them determine how we feel about ourselves.
It's too easy for us to rely on others or external factors in order to give ourselves value when it actually comes from within! You deserve happiness!
Find ways to appreciate what makes you happy every day even if it is small.
Try new activities, take up new hobbies, find something you enjoy doing and you'll find happiness that comes from doing it, even if it's not performance-based.
Doing the things that we love, finding out what is important to us, and doing it every day will make life so much easier.
It's not always easy finding true happiness when everything doesn't go as planned but you have to be your own advocate in order to find peace of mind.
If you’ve been having a tough time in your business, it might be because you’re relying on external factors to bring happiness into your life.
