Am I Happy?

Am I Happy?

The road to happiness isn’t always easy, nor does it really have one final destination. Joy exists on a spectrum.

A lack of contentment is one of the most common overarching themes people bring up in therapy.

While it’s best to seek tailored advice from a therapist for yourself, it can be helpful to see just how therapy has helped people with this particular issue.

Accept That You'll Mess Up Sometimes

Take Your Own Happiness Serio

Take Your Own Happiness Serio

It seems pretty obvious, but it is so easy to put your own happiness on the back burner due to external stressors like work, relationships or just life as a whole. Don't say "I'll worry about myself later", learn to consider it NOW.

People think they can have full control over other peoples’ feelings, but note the importance of letting that go. You can only control your own feelings, which means you can control the actions that trigger those feelings.

Don’t ignore what makes you happy, or else you’re holding yourself back.
