How often do you find yourself dissatisfied with your life? From time to time this happens to everyone. We are unhappy with ourselves, others, work, bosses, prices in stores. There are enough reasons for chagrin. But you should always remember that we ourselves can improve the quality of our lives. The path in 11 steps will help you to establish order in your small world and begin to enjoy your stay in it.
Step One - Gratitude
Give thanks. Contact those who have done something good for you. Surely, digging in the memory, you will find at least one such person. Show that you are grateful to everyone you can remember, and it doesn’t matter at all what it was in the past, nor does it matter that these people most likely don’t expect anything like that from you.
Step Two - Kindness
Show kindness in everything you do. After all, it is disinterested affairs, even the most seemingly insignificant ones, that greatly help to strengthen the sense of satisfaction received from life.
Step Three - Forgiveness
It is very important to learn to forgive not only others, but also yourself. There is a very effective technique - "letter of forgiveness". Even if you do not communicate now with the person who has offended you once, write him a letter. Write about what you were offended, about what you forgive and do not hold any more evil on him. And surely in the same letter, forgive yourself for having kept this unpleasant feeling for yourself for so long. It is not necessary to send a letter. But try to get the most out of everything you write about.
It is difficult to forgive another, but sometimes it is even more difficult to forgive yourself. Learn to forgiveness and remember that a happy person is always a few levels higher than anyone, even the strongest resentment.
Step Four - Build Relationships
Make an effort to build relationships with other people. Do not look for a special occasion to communicate, show your feelings with the help of words and actions. If you do not regret this time and energy, you will see how much more complete, rich and warm your relationship will become.
Step Five - Do not compare yourself with others
The only one with whom you should compare yourself is you are the former. No need to emphasize the success of others. Happy people pay more attention to their feelings and intuitions. Your inner world itself will tell you how right or wrong things are going. Listen to yourself and trust what you feel.
Step Six- Optimism
Be optimistic about everything. After all, any life situation can be treated differently. Learn to find positive moments in everything and extract experience. Remember that everything that happens only adds to your wisdom and strength.
Step Seven - Dealing With Difficulties
Look for ways to cope with difficult moments. Try to see the cause of the problem and fix it, and not just sort out the relationship. Remember that each situation is a new lesson, and accordingly experience and one more step on the path to wisdom.
Step Eight - Favorite Activities
Strive to find such activities that best reveal your abilities, and the fulfillment of which brings you pleasure. Even in daily, routine affairs, find meaning and a way to apply your knowledge and skills.
Step Nine - Worthy Goals
Set goals commensurate with your abilities and capabilities. A worthy goal will lead you to something new and will give you something valuable, and will not lead you further away from what you want, while taking away your strength and precious time.
Step Ten - Taste for Life
Give yourself small daily joys, pay attention to the good news, and do not forget to be surprised at the device of a multifaceted world.
Step Eleven - Body Care and Spirituality
Listen to your body and he will tell you what he needs. Meditation helps to learn this. Do not forget to do exercises. Try to get enough sleep.
And spirituality can help you find answers to your daily questions.
This path may not be easy. But having passed it, you will notice that the world around has become much more benevolent and affable.
