Change brings uncertainty
Five keys to dealing with uncertainty

5 Self-Destructive Habits of Chronically Unhappy People
Chronically unhappy people
Not everyone knows how to be happy or how to deal with the bumps and annoyances of life. When people get stuck in temporary setbacks, they can easily forget that happiness is never out of reach.
Complaining a lot
When life throws a curveball, it's enough to make anyone complain. However, when complaining goes unchecked, it can become a habit that makes it easier to be negative than positive.
Tips for coping:
- Learn to use positive and encouraging language to the people around you and to yourself.
- Practice seeing the good in every situation.
- Celebrate the good times, and meet each day with optimism.
Becoming your own worst critic
Being overly critical of ourselves can increase anxiety about a situation. Mulling over what happened is like self-criticism on repeat.
Tips for silencing your inner critic:
- Stop expecting perfection from yourself. Learn to accept your mistakes, acknowledge them, then put them behind you and focus instead on continued growth.
- Stop looking for what's wrong about you and focus on what's right about you.
- Turn your attention to what could go right instead of what could go wrong.
