The article delves into deep questions about what makes people Unhappy in Life and how they can cope with their anxieties without falling prey to depression.
1. Opinions of others
If you easily get affected by the opinion of others, you will remain unhappy most of the time.
The best way to rise above it is not to let the behavior of others steal your joy. Focus your energy where it should go. Surround yourself with people who lift you emotionally.
You need to understand that your emotions are your responsibility, resulting from your cognition and thoughts.
So, the moment you start to think negatively, replace it with positive thoughts. Do not blame others for your mood. Accept that real power is within you. This understanding will make a lot of difference to your overall well-being.
2. When you keep on giving chances to untrustworthy people
Most of us, by nature, are forgiving, and we tend to give a second chance to a relationship and then regret it. So, before giving second chances, think about whether they deserve them.
Some people stage as a lover or a friend, but they ditch you the moment the need arises. Such relationships rip you apart and add sadness to your life.
The best way to rise above it is to learn your lesson and decide to move on. It’s not worth giving a second chance to such people. You would be amazed to know you are liberated you feel you let go of such people from your life.
3. When people stop thinking creatively
Dwelling and digging into the past make you think hard—the constant thoughts of “what if” can alter brain chemistry. The best way to deal with it is to engage yourself creatively.
Even if you are a homemaker, you can indulge in gardening, social activities, work-from-home jobs, or anything that pleases your mind.
4. When you spend much time on your phone
According to a new survey, youngsters cannot relax or sleep properly because they are hooked to their mobile phones. Neglecting it can make them feel unhappy in life, depressed, and even suicidal.
The best way to cope with the rising stress created by smartphones and gadgets is to keep the phones out of sight or put them in a switched-off mood to stay relaxed, or you can replace them by reading and going out for a walk.
5. Bereavement of our loved ones
The demise of our loved ones can shatter us to the core. We stop believing in the power that lies within us, and we try to move on by thinking we all are temporary and will be reduced to ash one day.
However, the thought might not end bereavement or grief. The first thing to acknowledge is grief is not a negative emotion; it is an emotion that describes how much we miss our loved ones.
The better way to deal with it is to talk about the grief to someone else. It will make you feel lighter.
6. When we follow mundane activities
Mundane activities can increase stress and boredom, and we tend to feel unhappy. These activities make you feel overstretched and lonely. The best way to deal with it is to upskill yourself or swap a job with something that interests you.
7. Take care of your overall health
Many people think of health only in physical terms. For example, even after eating healthy and being physically fit, they are diagnosed with thyroid disorders or depression, or cardiac issues.
It is important to keep a tab on mental and emotional well-being because all these aspects contribute to your overall health. The idea is to make yourself mentally strong and stay motivated even in trying times.
