Learning to let go helps a lot…

I find Eckhart Tolle’s books and DVDs most helpful.

Thanks for sharing!

This is hilarious, I love it! What a great way to turn the topic of happiness on its head and make people think. Great approach. Thank you for the ideas, too, I agree with many of the “cures” to move toward a more positive, proactive attitude.

Hi, first time here.
Good list and always a good reminder to those who need a reality check when they are stuck in a rut.

It’s fine to go through some of these once in a while as we all have dips, but to continue to do these things is to waste your precious gift of life.

thanks for a good article!

Great post. I am just on the other side of having lived a year successfully unhappy. I was doing ALL of those things.

Sometimes the “if only thoughts” still try to get me…”if only I’d stayed in school, I’d be done by now” etc.

I have gotten myself in the habit of countering those thoughts with what I am doing NOW to change the things I have been unhappy with. It’s progress and getting better everyday!

Wow, this is great…. I’ve been having such a horrible time with everything lately, and this just about describes me to a “t.” Not that it’s a good thing or anything, but at least I have some idea of what I need to do to fix it! (Even though it seems like a lot of it can’t be fixed, I need to grin and bear it sometimes, like boring but necessary classes and extra hours at work.)

And the comment about letting life happen to you and being unhappy because of control…. Yes!! That rings so true to me right now. I need to step back and stop fretting over everything so much….

Hopefully I can keep sorting things out for myself, being unhappy and miserable sucks!!
