Happiness. We all want it, but somehow, very few of us will actually find true happiness. Why? Because our brain isn't wired for happiness – it's wired for survival. The good news is, you can learn how to overcome your natural way of thinking to become truly happy.
The Brain's Survival Instinct
Survival Mode
Our minds are conditioned for self-preservation. Think of your brain as a bodyguard who goes into a room and checks every corner for what might go wrong, constantly looking for any scary thing that could be hiding in the corner waiting to get us.
Protective But Limiting
While that bodyguard does a great job of keeping us from stepping into traffic or spending our mortgage money on a big-screen TV, it can also keep us from being happy.
From Surviving to Thriving
So, how do we go from surviving to thriving? How do we get beyond our natural bias toward negativity and move from discontent to happiness?
Training Your Mental Bodyguard
Acknowledge Fear
Sure, your brain might set off sirens when you decide to start that business, reminding you of all the things that could go wrong.
Recognize Discontent
It's up to you to acknowledge the fear, recognize the discontent, and choose to change your focus.
Choose Happiness
Every day, practice focusing on the good, even when life might look less than positive. The more we look at the glass as half full, the less we see what might be missing.
Happiness Is A Choice
Daily Decision
Happiness is a choice we make daily, regardless of what might be happening around us. The more we choose to be happy, the happier we'll be. It's that simple.
Practice Makes Perfect
If you want happiness, start practicing happiness now.
Enjoy the Journey
The key is to enjoy the process, enjoy the journey. We can have moments of perfection, times where we wouldn't want a single thing to change, but it's unfair and unrealistic to ask that of life all the time.
Take Control
But it's totally within our control to practice being whatever we want to be right now!
