Unhappy thoughts are part of our life. There is no one who can say they never feel unhappy. Especially in this world when we continuously go through comparison, competition and all, there is no way you can feel happy all the time.
Don't you think, knowing what triggers your unhappy thoughts would help you to avoid them? Let's see some of the inaccurate thought processes that lead us to feel unhappy!
We have to be something, we need to compete, we have to be just like others; success and happiness should be shown by our appearance. All these toxic thoughts are the prime reason that makes us feel anxious, we let ourselves be in unnecessary competition.
Another thing is, now accepting things. We can't accept that we can feel sad, things can go wrong, we can't always win and become successful. This ruins all our gratefulness and happy feeling.
Not only that, we are usually driven by our fear, worries, and negative thoughts. Our past, fearful thoughts never let us move on, we choose to hold back memories that don't help us in any way.
Moreover, we think we need to do certain things or achieve certain things to be happy. But happiness is a natural thing and doesn't depend on any materialistic things.
All these thoughts are enough to make us feel unhappy although we may have everything. Happiness is not an empty space that needs to feel with things. Try to understand that it's your thought process and feelings that are not making your feel happy, not any external thing.
I hope this understanding will help you to think about life differently!
