What makes you unhappy? | Talking about a way out from unhappiness!

I was reading an article the other day and found a really interesting discussion there. It was about happiness.

They say it's easy to talk about what makes us happy, it's easy to find the reasons and feel in that way as well. But when we talk about unhappiness, we become unsure. But finding what makes us unhappy is more essential so that we can avoid the trigger and find a way out.

I totally agree.

There comes someday when we feel less motivated than other days, all of a sudden we feel like not doing anything, right? This happens to me so often, it made me put into a position to automatically think about what is making me feel that way.

Most of the time, it's a silly reason like not achieving a short-term goal which I could easily overlook. But my mind doesn't agree with this. So it takes a whole lot of push-ups to let my mind agree that it's totally okay to be behind the achievement bar I set for myself.

Doing this for many many years I came to a point to clarify my reason for unhappiness. And that is -

Failing to see my life in a holistic way.

Some sudden incidents, mistakes, less achievement can make us unhappy for a moment or two. But in long run, we can make ourselves see the big picture. You will see so many sunny days in your life, so many happy moments, so many upcoming fulfillment that the unhappy feeling would seem more insignificant to you.

Now whenever I feel sad, unhappy inside I apply this little trick. Like bringing back some old memory. Most of the time, I let myself imagine the upcoming happiness and it helps me to put more effort into my present situation.

This is so helpful. I would suggest you see your life in a holistic way. I hope it will make you inconsiderate your unhappy moments.

Have a happy day, everyone.
