Being happy




Things that rob us of joy:

Unrealistic expectations of ourselves

Judgement, negative thoughts, worrying

Fear of not being good enough, fear of abandonment, fear of failure

The “shoulds"; things you tell yourself you should be doing
 
People-pleasing; saying “yes” when you really want to say “no”
 
Worrying about money, other people problems, the future,
 
 *****

 
To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom.
