Depression, anxiety, anger, fear, trauma, a lack of purpose, and feeling stuck can all contribute to unhappiness and as a Life Coach in Johannesburg, I can help you reclaim your happiness. The coaching techniques I employ have a natural and uplifting effect, making it possible for you to live your best life.
It can be difficult for family or friends who have not experienced what you are going through to truly understand your feelings. This lack of understanding can make you feel even worse. They might say, “just get over it” or dismiss the reality of depression and anxiety, but these feelings are very real.
True happiness comes from within, rather than from external sources that you may currently rely on. External sources can be taken away at any moment, leaving you feeling unhappy. However, when you rely on your inner happiness, it cannot be taken away unless you choose to give it up. While life’s challenges can make it difficult to maintain a happy state, the best approach is to honor and respect your circumstances and work through them, remaining as happy as possible.
Life can often lead you away from your goals and intentions. Understanding this is the first step to moving out of a negative space. It’s crucial to keep your focus on your true intentions and goals, even when life takes unexpected turns. These detours are opportunities for growth and learning, guiding you toward your ultimate destination.
Here are 10 steps to help you regain your happiness:
- Surround yourself with people who are happy, positive, and successful.
- Humbly prioritize yourself and your goals.
- Engage in activities that interest you and bring joy. If you’re unsure what makes you happy, try different things until you find your passion.
- Work with a life coach who can use specific techniques to help you move from where you are to where you want to be.
- Live according to your highest values to reduce stress and life’s struggles.
- Keep creating and growing, as these are essential aspects of your purpose in life. While living according to your purpose, happiness is achievable.
- Stop letting things bother you. For instance, if you are sitting outside listening to birds singing and are suddenly distracted by barking dogs or sirens, choose to focus on the birds. Similarly, in life, choose not to be bothered by negativity or the things that cause disturbances within you.
- Honour and respect what life throws at you, and give yourself time to process your feelings.
- Stop relying on external factors for happiness and discover it within. Once you find inner happiness, anything external becomes a bonus.
- Set intentions to reach your goals and ensure you follow them daily. Learn how to set intentions for yourself.
