11 – Youβre Bored
Boredom is another culprit that causes unhappiness. Technological inventions, ease of modern living, and excessive safety regulations are gradually erasing the place of adventure and the fun it brings.
Due to these changing times, many people have a hard time finding ways to have fun.
But, there are many ways to overcome boredom! You just have to be a bit more open minded, and do things that scare you enough to wake you up to the amazing adventures life has to offer.
12 – Youβre Too Busy
There are many things you can do that take up your time, but donβt take you anywhere. Being too preoccupied with many different things could make you feel like happiness is just out of reach. So instead of just being busy, learn to focus on being effective.
13 – Youβre Always Just One Step Away
Do you always feel like youβre one step away from getting satisfaction? Do you ever feel like something is missing – and you will only be happy, when you get that one thing?
Well, this near-success syndrome could be the cause of your unhappiness.
The more you continue thinking and feeling this way, the harder it will be for you to
find happiness. You need to deal with this monster – because it kills your joy.
14 – You Ignore Opportunities
When opportunities come calling, people are often too distracted to recognize and take
advantage of them. Sometimes, it can seem like it would take a lot of work and would require getting away from one’s comfort zone, so people just choose to let opportunities slide.
If you make this a regular habit, youβll end up feeling frustrated when you look back and realize that you could have gone beyond the point youβre at today – if you had only taken those opportunities.
To avoid this frustration, start to grab every opportunity that comes your way now. Take risks, try out new things, and youβll see that you can achieve so much more than you can imagine.
15 – Youβre Afraid Of Yourself
Lack of self-confidence is another factor that can cause unhappiness.
So many people do not believe in themselves, and this makes it difficult for them to make
critical decisions. You need to trust your instincts and believe in yourself.
Even when it seems like things arenβt working out as you want them to, you need to continue having faith in yourself – because if you donβt believe in yourself, nobody will believe in you.
16 – You Care Too Much About What Others Think
People in general are very difficult to please. No matter what you do, others will still criticize you, so whatβs the need to try to impress them?
Always trying to please everyone will just drain you in the long run. The sooner you stop basing your sense of worth on other people’s approval, the sooner you get to live your own life.
