10 simple reasons why you are unhappy

People around you are toxic:

Every one of us, to some extent, gets influenced by people around us. If positive, uplifting, and optimistic people surround us, it will have a positive affect on us. However if people around us are those who are negative, discouraging and downbeat we will tend to feel like them.

You constantly compare yourself with others:

Constantly making comparisons of ourselves with others can make us feel inferior, incompetent and inadequate. First thing is life is not a race so we should stop looking at others in terms what they are doing and achieving. Focusing on our own potentials and living our own life can make our lives much better.

 Stop pleasing every one:

It is not possible to please everyone. By stopping efforts to please others we can protect us from unnecessary disappointment, frustration and unhappiness.

You ignore little things that can make you happy:

You like sports but you never give it a try. You like going out but hardly find time for it. You like travelling but it’s been months or years you never made any trip. If you will not give your life the little things you like, you are going to deny yourself from a due share of happiness.

You work long hours:

You are working hard to make a living but making no or very little efforts to make a life. Money matters but it should not be at the cost of your relationships, health and interests.

You exaggerate little things:

Small things like forgetting keys at home, traffic fines, traffic jams are frustrating but one should not let them ruin the entire day. It is important to ask ourselves can we make a difference by getting frustrated and depressed. If answer is ‘No’ then there is no need to get worry about what is beyond our control.

You focus on your failures rather than your achievements:

If you constantly focusing over what you have not got, surely you are going to deny happiness to yourself. Instead focus on what you have achieved and be grateful for it, it will make you happier.

You are angry with someone:

If someone has done something wrong to you, just forgive him/her not because they deserve forgiveness rather you deserve peace. If you continue having a grudge against someone, probably you will cause him/her any harm, but you are going to ruin your happiness for sure.

Problem with your life style:

You are not living a healthy life style. You are not eating healthy food, not doing exercise and not taking a proper sleep. By doing so you are violating the law of nature to be happy. Assigning adequate time to your professional activities is mandatory to your progression; in the same way sparing sufficient time for exercise and sleep is fundamental to have happier life.

You fail to learn from your mistakes:

If you don’t learn from your mistakes, you continue repeating them again and again. This is a good recipe for unhappiness. So if something run in your life contrary to what you are expecting then take time analyse it and find out a solution so that you can avoid repeating it next time.
