Our happiness is supposed to come from within our own hearts, why then is that happiness so difficult to achieve? Self esteem and self worth are at the heart of the major problems with self happiness. As out greatest judges, we take apart our minds and our lives and we analyze everything we do. Once we have criticized ourselves to the point of no return, the obscured images we think we are, often become the reality.
There are other times in our lives when a fear of the unknown can take hold of us and push us into the realm of self doubt. The fear of failing, not becoming what we once dreamed we would and not attaining success all wreak havoc on the minds eye. When reading this sort of thought, it may sound preposterous, but it is a very real situation for many women.
The self-esteem issues and fear of failure may be the only two things that are standing between you and your life of happiness. But, in order to bridge that gap, you must first recognize that these are the reasons you are unhappy and try to focus on improving that self-esteem and those fears of taking risks and succeeding. Once those are overcome, a healthy self image will follow.
In order to improve oneself, you need to look closely at your physical, mental and emotional needs as a human being. Are you expecting too much of yourself? Are your measurements of success really attainable? Has life turned out the way your wanted it to and can you change the outcome if it hasn't? These are the questions that you need to answer and looking deep into yourself for the truths will be the hardest part of the journey.
The physical side of improvement can often be the least difficult of the three. Increasing your exercise levels and toning the body, even weight loss, will have such an effect that self esteem and thus happiness will instantly rise. A great looking body is at the heart of all self-esteem and without that feeling of healthiness and pride in your body, happiness will not follow.
The emotional aspects of happiness are a bit more difficult to change and require careful time and attention to the details of our past, present and future. Our lives are rooted in the emotional fractures that have created the psyche was now possess. Releasing the hold these fractures have on our present day lives is needed to fulfill our destination of happiness.
The changes needed in our mental state are often those that run concurrently with the emotional changes. Mentally we judge ourselves based on expectations only we understand. If we never achieve those goals we create a negative self image that will wreak havoc on our chances of happiness. Removing all boundaries and definitions of success will greatly improve our chances of happiness.
Life without balance and self-esteem will be life without happiness. The happiness we want and desire is rooted in our need to be better that we are right now and better than everyone else around us. Without a doubt, once we refocus our lives on the things that matter the most, our bodies, our hearts and our minds, the rest will fall into place an happiness will be achieved.
