To feel better about yourself, you should also delve into those factors that take you away from that state of harmony:
-
Stress. The great risk of today's society is that stress has normalized to the point of making it an unavoidable factor. There are moments that, by themselves, are more stressful. However, it breaks of its own accord with that rhythm that leads you to live permanently in a hurry. Break with that idea that everything is urgent and immediate. Fortunately, most things can wait.
- Learn to delegate. Both professionally and personally. Break the weight of wanting to take care of everything. Seek collaboration in the environments in which you participate. The weight of believing yourself indispensable can end up crushing your spirits.
- Perfectionism In life there are difficulties, fears, problems, unforeseen events and obstacles. You cannot ignore this part of reality by aspiring to a perfectionism that defines an ideal that has nothing to do with the real. Try to adjust your expectations to the essence of living itself. In the following article, you can see some useful tips on how to be less demanding.
- Sedentary. This inertia to inactivity weighs not only physically, but also psychologically. The best remedy to put an end to this brake is exercise and sports.
- Individualism. It is very positive that you think about yourself, but it is not that you only think about yourself. Something that happens when you get carried away by the ego. Think of a good deed you can do today to make someone around you happy.
- Fight the past. You cannot change yesterday. Therefore, integrate what you have learned in your present scenario. The past has given you very important learning lessons.
To feel better about yourself, you have to start living by paying more attention to what depends on you. In this way, you raise your level of resilience because you acquire greater strength when you focus on those aspects of your reality that you can control.
As a practical exercise, start each day by asking yourself this question: What am I going to do today for the benefit of my own happiness? This question helps you focus the power of your well-being on yourself.
