Running away from hard feelings is actually constraining our abilities to experience happiness. When we evade difficult emotions, we numb joy, we numb gratitude and we numb happiness. Our natural tendency to avoid pain, in other words, could be the reason why we’re not achieving ultimate happiness. Are some of your coping mechanisms –even the small, daily habits we form– unconsciously standing in the way of your own happiness?
While integrating “happiness” habits may be a handy way to mix joy into our lives every day, they could be doing more harm than good when it comes to our overall, longterm satisfaction — and we may not even realize it. Are these the same mistakes you’re probably making that are negative to your overall happiness?
