Let Go And Be Happy

http://www.storypick.com/letting-go/

We strive for happiness. The one thing that is essential for attaining this is being happy from within. If you are sad from inside, nothing, I repeat, nothing can help you. Because, you know, life can be 2 things – you embrace it or you hide from it. The latter part, of course, cannot be practiced. So what do you do? According to Buddha, you surrender.

Surrender is the beautiful soft space of acceptance. It’s that arms-wide-open energy that is deeply rooted in trust. Relaxing and trusting that, even though things might not seem perfect or not turn out to be according to your plan, everything will be just the way it’s meant to be, for your highest good.

And according to Buddhism, following listed 5 ways show how you can accept things and be happy immediately:

1. Negative thinking

Negative thinking can darken a cloudless day, bring down an uplifting event, and even dampen a simple pleasure. Negative thinking makes you think the worst. It makes you expect failure and betrayal in everything and seeing positives as negatives.

How to fix this? Trying to reason with it only increases the hysteria. Instead, go to a quiet place and let your thinking throw its fits. You can write down all the cruel judgments and lastly, recognize your negative voice as nothing but a 2-year-old’s tantrum and let it pass.

2. Bad Memories

These memories should have no place in your lives. Still, your brain can think about the bad experiences over and over again. You don’t need to replay the guilt part incessantly.

How to fix this?
Identify your triggers. Know what triggers you and sends you in that thinking-about-the-past zone. Make some space for new memories. Don’t drag the emotions by reigniting the thoughts because the trigger-response recreates the past.


3. People who are bad for us


They need to be shunned from your lives because of their negative energy. I know it becomes difficult because you might be in a long term relationship with that person or he/she may be your family member, but you need to do this.

How to fix this? Understand that you are powerful and can change your life at any moment. You can, very well, stop talking to anyone who makes you unhappy. The entire world is in your hands.


4. Putting yourself down

This is the most debilitating thing anyone can do. Self-criticism and self-doubt can maim you. I’ll tell you how it works: When you think you have low self-worth, other people’s opinions become an affirmation of your innermost thoughts and you let them affect you, which is egregious.

How to fix this? Know your strengths. Every human being has at least one. Get to know yourself better and be proud of your achievements.


5. Taking things personally


Most of us take things personally. We often put ourselves in the equation when someone lashes out at us with the intention to ruffle us. Don’t be paranoid and over think about such stuff.

How to fix this?
Just stop overthinking. Don’t cling to any emotion and stop wallowing for things that don’t need space in your lives.

Practice the art of letting go. Alter and adapt to the beauty of the surroundings – your workplace, home, or anything that constitutes your world. Because, it can be hard to let go of this false belief – The only way to achieve happiness again is to regain what’s been lost.

Be invigorated by the present moment. :)

Do not wait for tomorrow to do what you can do today. Take action right now on the things that you need to do that will move you closer to massive achievement. Look for results daily ~ not reasons or excuses for not doing what you know to do. Be actively engaged in creating a future for yourself that is significantly different than the present one.

Leap over procrastination, step away from excuses, and run full steam ahead. You have things to do, places to go, and people to meet who can take your life to another level. Now's the time to make it happen! Be passionate in pursuing the path towards your dream. You have GREATNESS within you!
