Know how to manage emotions to live better
Happiness is the most universal of emotions, and yet the most elusive. It is because our mind often tends to experience worry, fear, anxiety, etc. On average, we have little room for that comforting feeling of euphoria, for that caress that connects us with the most intense side of life.
A first lesson that we should integrate into our repertoire of skills is emotional management. Thanks to it, we would understand that it is indeed normal to feel sadness, anguish or frustration from time to time. Everyday reality is complex and it is inevitable to feel these emotional realities. However, these cannot become chronic. They cannot persist for weeks or months.
Understanding, managing and channeling them would undoubtedly allow us to leave wider corners for happy moments.
Self-esteem, meaning and purpose of life: the three basic colors of happiness
We all want to be happy, but we do not know what the true ingredients of this holy grail are. Happy is not always the one with the most belongings. Neither does the one with the most friends. Authentic well-being is built on a daily basis through the following dimensions:
- Taking care of self-esteem, remembering what we need, becoming aware of what hurts us, setting limits, working for what we want and deserve.
- Giving meaning to our life, finding meaning in who we are, what we see ...
- Likewise, it is also essential that we clarify our purposes. Placing the horizon near realistic and concrete goals and objectives impels us to get up every day, to continue fighting.
It takes a lot to be happy ... but the most important thing is to be good with yourself
It takes a lot to be happy. You have to master the difficult art of being good with yourself. We must know how to love ourselves, be able to fight for what we want, accept the bad days when they come, learn from them and allow ourselves to enjoy the good times when they come. Because yes, they often appear.
This does not remove much less evidence: we are forced to live complex circumstances, moments in which crises and problems open up under our feet. We are aware that sometimes happiness seems more like an ideal than a reality. However, this comforting dimension is part of our emotional repertoire.
