Choosing Happiness: Nine Things to Let Go for a Fulfilling New Year

In the pursuit of happiness, we often find ourselves entangled in the complexities of life, overlooking the simplicity of joy that’s right in front of us. They say happiness is a choice, but sometimes we complicate it to the point of missing it altogether. So, what can we do to embrace happiness and make it a more significant part of our lives? Here are nine things to let go of as we kick off the new year, paving the way for a more fulfilling and content existence.

  1. Release Anger:
    • Anger consumes valuable time and energy, taking away from moments that could be better spent. Did you know that recovering from just a minute of anger can take up to an hour?
  2. Surrender Control Illusion:
    • Control is but an illusion in a world that often operates beyond our influence. Accepting the uncontrollable aspects of life frees us from unnecessary stress.
  3. Ditch Approval Seeking:
    • Worrying about others’ opinions is a futile exercise. Embracing authenticity attracts genuine connections. Remember, you can’t please everyone, and that’s perfectly okay.
  4. Strive for Personal Growth:
    • Be the best version of yourself, naturally drawing like-minded people into your life.
  5. Bid Farewell to the Past:
    • Dwelling on the past inhibits present and future growth. Learn from past experiences without letting them dictate your current state.
  6. Mindful Spending:
    • Acquire fewer material possessions; they don’t equate to happiness but can deplete your resources. A simpler life often leads to greater happiness.
  7. Abandon Gossip:
    • Gossiping breeds negativity. Remember, those who gossip with you today might gossip about you tomorrow.
  8. Limit Worries:
    • Excessive worry invests time and energy in hypothetical scenarios. Trust in life’s journey, and let go of unnecessary worry.
  9. Avoid Taking Things Personally:
    • Recognize that people are immersed in their own lives. Most reactions have little to do with you. Let go of unnecessary concerns about what others think.

Are you ready to embrace a happier and more fulfilled life this year? Letting go of these nine things is a powerful step toward choosing happiness. Remember that simplicity and contentment often lie in the release of what no longer serves us. Kick off the year with a mindset geared towards a more joyful and gratifying existence.

9 Things to Let Go to Be Happier

It is said that being happy is a choice. But we have a tendency to complicate our lives to the point of not recognising it when we have it in front of our eyes.

What could we do to be happier?

Here are nine things we should let go to find more happiness in our lives:

1. Give up anger. Anger steals time and precious energy that we could use more usefully. Did you know that for a minute of anger you need an hour to recover?

2. Let go of things you can’t control. Control is an illusion. We live in a world that is out of control, we have to accept the fact that we cannot control everything.

3. Stop worrying about what others think of you. This also makes us waste time and energy. We could never please everyone, there will always be someone who doesn’t like us. It doesn’t matter what other people think of us. .

4. Try to be the best version of yourselves, to spontaneously attract people who are related to you.

5. Stop living in the past. We all have gone through difficult times. But we survived. Try to silence that little voice that tells you: “I should have done this”, “I shouldn’t have done that”, “if I went back I would change things”. The past is past and does not come back, so let’s accept it as it is. We can learn many lessons from the past that will help us manage the present and lay the foundations for the future.

6. Try to buy fewer useless things because they don’t make you happier but they empty your pockets. The less things we have, the happier we will be.

7. Stop gossiping. Those who share gossip with you today, will be the same gossiping on you tomorrow.

8. Don’t worry more than you should. Worrying means investing time and energy in something that has yet to happen. Again, let it go and try to trust life.

9. Stop taking things personally. People are just too busy thinking about their own lives to be able to think about others’ lives. The world does not turn around you. Most people’s reactions have nothing to do with you, don’t worry about it.
