What’s most important?

Peace of mind is probably the most important ingredient of a happy life. It’s probably also the toughest one to discover. I try doing these to enjoy at least a bit of it and live a better life…

1. Avoid people who are not trustworthy — We all make wrong choices. That’s OK. But, once you have recognized that you have been betrayed in some way or the other, Take Control of the situation. You may want to trust again and start over with the same person, but if at all you decide to do so, stay CAUTIOUS. After all, who deserves continuous heartbreaks?
2. Be productive — Don’t let any external circumstances, which are not even in your control make you shine less. You have a lot of potential, why let it go waste because of something or someone else? Choose a work you love to do and keep on doing it diligently. Being productive and successful gives a boost to our confidence and that helps us to heal. Also, show up every day no matter what. Persistence helps.
3. Choose your inner circle wisely — When we are hurt or unhappy in our relationships, we usually seek happiness outside. That’s fine. But make that choice wisely. Not everyone is out there to genuinely support you. Stay away from people who usually discuss everyone with everyone. They may not be able to do justice to your feelings. Pour your heart out only if you believe your feelings are going to remain safe. After all, who wants more drama?
4. Journal your thoughts — This one has helped many to sail through the tough times of life. Pen and paper could be your best mates in angry, frustrating and depressing moments. Try it out!
5. Pursue something you love — In the wake of pleasing others, living for others, we often leave ourselves behind. We often forget what was that one thing we always wanted to do. Think about it now. Learn a language, string your guitar, build a garden or go on that long planned holiday today. Enjoy the time with yourself and smile more!

Love yourself more & be happy!!!
