Our level of emotional success is based on our choices and attitudes, some people are able to roll with the punches, others get sidelined by headwinds along the way.
In order to toughen up, such to able to live life feeling naturally strong and confident in choices and ourselves, learn to do what emotionally successful people do, as follows:
1. Take Control
Instead of letting life happen, take control and decide to make things happen. Become destiny’s ruler, and take calculated steps to achieve goals and desires.
2. Be Flexible
Life always throws curve balls. When that happens, will they throw a person off course or will you be able to pivot when you need to? Being flexible means you have an open mind and will adjust to whatever life throws your way. Everything happens for a reason, make it work. No negatives.
3. Learn from Your Mistakes
Mistakes offer valuable lessons that you can use to improve in the future. Treat them as tools for improvement rather than letting them define you.
4. Create Specific Goals
People who set goals earn 2X as much money as those who do not. Further, those who set clear, written goals setter earn 10X as much. Setting and writing out goals helps one to have a clear direction and plan for achieving the dreams.
5. Accept Yourself
Strength comes from within, so learning to accept yourself is Key to being happy. Resist the urge to look for acceptance from others. Once you are comfortable and strong in your own sense of self, relationships and success come naturally.
6. Keep Your Stress in Check
When under stress, it harder to control your emotions. Figure out what works for to keep stress levels under control: exercise, talking with a friend, alone time, meditation, and engage in it regularly.
7. Let the Little Things Slide
Stressing and fretting over circumstances one cannot control or which do not matter in the big picture will drains our mental reserves and wears a person down. Resist the urge to become a control freak and instead let go of the little inconveniences, upsets, and disappointments that come along the path.
What you will notice about the habits above is that these are primarily choices one can make.
It is thought that genetics account for about 50% of a persons innate happiness, and life circumstances make up 10%. The balance (40%) is under one’s control, and the 1st step to harnessing it is to choose it and believe in being happy.
Research shows that when people were told to attempt to feel happier when listing to music, they were, as opposed to those who were told to relax. It was the intention to become happier that made a difference.
It helps to consider your emotions as a form of energy.
According to Dr. Bradley Nelson, when you feel an emotion, what one is really sensing is the vibration of a particular energy. Each emotion has its own vibratory signature, and when intense emotions are felt, they can become trapped in the body, much like a “ball of energy.”
These “balls of energy” can become lodged just about anywhere in a persona body, where they can cause disruptions in the body’s energy system, which underlies your physical system much like an invisible matrix.
The human body cannot tell the difference between an actual experience that triggers an emotional response and an emotion fabricated through thought process alone, such as when worrying about something negative that might occur but has not actually happened, or conversely, thinking about something positive and pleasant.
The latter will help the body to express many of the health benefits associated with happiness, while ruminating or focusing on negativity can literally manifest disease.
Happiness not only feels good… it is good.
Research shows that positive emotions, including being happy, lively and calm appear to play a role in immune function. One study found that when happy people are exposed to cold and flu viruses, they are less likely to get sick and, if they do, exhibit fewer symptoms.
The association held true regardless of the participants’ levels of self-esteem, purpose, extroversion, age, education, body mass or pre-study immunity to the virus, leading the lead researcher to say: “We need to take more seriously the possibility that positive emotional style is a major player in disease risk.”
In a study of nearly 200 heart failure patients, those with higher levels of gratitude had better mood, better sleep, less fatigue, and less inflammation, which can worsen heart failure, than those with lower levels.
What this means is that investing in being happy should not be viewed as a self-indulgent luxury. Being happy represents an important piece of the puzzle when it comes to piecing together one’s overall health.
The human mind can only take so much stress before it breaks down, yet many people neglect to tend to their emotional health with the same devotion they give to their physical well-being. This is a surefire recipe for emotional breakdown.
Happiness is associated with a smile, sadness with a frown.
Smile, be happy, live longer and healthier.
