15 Elements That Will Make You Unhappy

Показать описание
Below are 15 elements that will make you #unhappy. These need to be avoided.
This is a bullshit detector list on the people and environments that can hi-jack your joy and are to be deselected and blocked from your life.
Avoid these and life will be happier.
1. Chronic Stress: Prolonged stress can lead to burnout, anxiety, and a decrease in overall happiness. If you are stressed then run away from its source.
2. Loneliness and Social Isolation: Humans are social creatures, and a lack of meaningful social connections can negatively impact happiness. Be social and choose friends and social connections that allow you to thrive.
3. Poor Health: Both physical and mental health issues can significantly reduce a person’s happiness. Choose to exercise and look after your mental state.
4. Financial Problems: While money itself is a complex factor in happiness, financial instability and the stress of not being able to meet basic needs can lead to unhappiness. Avoid debt.
5. Unfulfilling Work: Spending a large part of life in a job that is unfulfilling, stressful, or misaligned with personal values can decrease happiness. Choose a career that doesn’t steal your soul.
6. Lack of Autonomy: Feeling out of control in one’s life, whether personally or professionally, can lead to dissatisfaction and unhappiness. Sometimes we hand over the keys to control for the sake of money.
7. Negative Mindset: Chronic negativity, pessimism, and an inability to see positive aspects in life can foster unhappiness. Practice gratefulness.
8. Comparing Oneself to Others: Engaging in social comparison, especially in the age of social media, can lead to feelings of inadequacy and unhappiness. Avoid social media. “It will make you compare your insides to the superficial outsides of others”.
9. Lack of Purpose or Meaning: Not having a sense of purpose, goals, or meaning in life can lead to a feeling of emptiness and decreased happiness. “Find a place inside where there’s joy, and the joy will burn out the pain” – Joseph Campbell.
10. Unresolved Trauma or Grief: Past traumas or ongoing grief that haven’t been addressed can continue to affect a person’s happiness. If you choose to continue to wallow in the past rather than rise and thrive in the present then life will be a journey of ongoing trauma.
11. Toxic Relationships: Being in relationships that are abusive, manipulative, or otherwise toxic can greatly diminish well-being and happiness. My take again, “Don’t hang out with turkeys.” This means lovers, colleagues, partners and friends.
12. Materialism: Overemphasis on material possessions as a source of happiness often leads to disappointment, as material goods do not provide lasting fulfillment. Choose experiences over “stuff”.
13. Lack of Sleep and Poor Lifestyle Choices: Neglecting physical health, like lack of sleep, poor diet, and insufficient exercise, can negatively impact mental well-being. Buy a health and exercise tracking watch and keep an eye on your health stats. It is a technology assistant but not a perfect answer.
14. Environmental Factors: Living in an environment that is unsafe, unhealthy, or un-stimulating can contribute to unhappiness. I was born lucky as I happened to turn up as a baby in Australia. I also wasn’t born next to a nuclear power plant that leaked.
15. Unrealistic Expectations: Setting unachievable goals or having unrealistic expectations about life can lead to disappointment and dissatisfaction.
It’s important to mention that the impact of these factors can vary greatly depending on individual circumstances, resilience, and coping mechanisms.
It’s also worth noting that the presence of one or more of these factors doesn’t guarantee unhappiness; people often find ways to maintain or regain happiness despite challenging circumstances.
