5.) Happiness Is Permanent
One of our greatest obstacles to happiness is actually our expectations around happiness. You can do all of your personal work, find a loving partner, have great friendships and a rewarding career and still feel off some days. It’s important to know that happens, so you don’t spiral when it does. One of the lies we tell ourselves is that when we achieve a state of happiness, we won’t backslide into negativity or a lacking mindset. And if we believe that “shouldn’t” happen, we’re extra hard on ourselves when it does. Know that it happens sometimes, and that happiness ebbs and flows. Once you know that, it won’t be such a big deal when your happiness dips.
