5 Tips On How To Be Happy With Yourself
I write and speak a lot about finding the meaning of your life. But I would also like to pass along some ways that are not necessarily spiritual in nature, having to do with your every day happiness and your day-by-day search for meaning.
Here are five tips that may help you in your practical life to be happy with yourself. When you are happy with yourself the world seems so much brighter and more generous.
The remainder of the text for this post follows right after this video pane:
1. Don’t procrastinate. One of the strongest killers of well-being is to put off doing what needs done. Sometimes these needs-doing things pile up so high that the climb looks impossible.
Do what needs done as quickly as possible. Try not to let undone things get ahead of you. You will feel happier.
If you are a list maker, then by all means make lists where you can check off accomplished tasks or events.
If you are not a list maker, you may wish to develop a chart wherein you keep track of your accomplishments. Keeping account in some such manner will help you to keep from dragging your feet.
2. Finish what you start. This follows right behind procrastination as a happiness killer. Leaving projects uncompleted will weigh upon your spirit.
In my view, it is a fact that you ought not start anything you do not intend to finish. Sounds simple enough. But you might be surprised at the number of people who have good intentions, but that’s all they have. They have no power to finish.
Give your life a real boost by finishing what you start. Sometimes this means avoiding trying to multi-task. I know. I know. Multi-tasking is the information age’s way of dealing effectively with the present world.
But sometimes doing multiple things at the same time only gets one tangled in one’s own process. Beware. Decide what is most important and get that done as soon as possible.
3. Invest in your relationships. The time and effort it takes to help any relationship thrive is time and effort very well spent.
It’s true that some folks believe they ought not to have to invest in relationships. So, it feels like you end up doing all the relationship work yourself. That may well be.
You have to decide if you want to keep the relationship. If you do, then you need do all you can to keep it thriving, even if the other person is not willing to put forth the effort.
It took me some years to realize that some in my family were just not going to keep up their ends of our relationships. They would not correspond in return to my missives, for example. If I wanted to keep in touch, I had to be the constant initiator.
If you want to keep in contact, you may need to be the instigator.
4. Maintain your linkage to the Divine. This is a relationship too. And although the Divine, in my view, is always making effort to remain in relationship to you, it may not often feel like it.
Remember the Tao Te Ching says, “… the greatest love seems indifferent … ” because it is so quiet.
So, it is for you to put time into that relationship through the meditative arts. This investment on your part will pay big dividends.
In your connection to the Divine there flows the meaning of your life, which, I believe, is to be happy.
5. Share yourself. There is no greater earthly happiness that giving of your time and energy (and money, if you have it) to inspire or help other people. This so often gets neglected.
Perhaps it gets neglected because folks don’t realize what a boon it can be to their own lives. Or perhaps it gets neglected because people think it is somehow perverse to share themselves with others to build their own happiness foundation.
There is no perversity here, whatsoever. To share yourself with others helps your world. Making the world a better place will return to you significant benefactions.
Therefore, I think it perfectly acceptable to give and not expect any return, but give so that you feel good about yourself.
There you have five tips to help you feel happy with yourself. Use them beginning right now. Feel the difference.
