I created this article because there is a LOT we can do to sustainably increase our happiness and decrease our negative emotions. Choosing happiness in this way can help us achieve the incredible benefits of living our lives in a more positive emotional space. But as you embark on your own path towards more happiness, I want to make clear that this work is about becoming happier, NOT about being happy all the time.
If we are going to live and clash of clans hack tool download, we are going to feel negative emotions. They are simply a part of being human. One of the most powerful things we can do in our quest to become happier is paradoxically to give ourselves permission to be human and let those negative emotions be experienced and felt.
Bad things happen. The happiest people embrace the negative emotions that come with these real challenges and problems. Science has shown conclusively that if we suppress those negative feelings, they inevitably grow stronger and surface in other parts of our lives.
Some negativity is necessary to live a happy life. It grounds us in reality. It is natural to mourn the loss of someone dear to you, to feel guilt when you do something you know is wrong, to be angry when you see an injustice done or disappointed when something doesn't go your way. These inescapable physical or mental discomforts can be seen as the 'first darts' of human existence and are examples of necessary negativity. They should be acknowledged and given space to be fully experienced.
