Fixating on your possessions.
That awesome new car you are coveting will never love
you back. That great new couch or expensive watch
won't bring you a sense of belonging or fulfillment. It
will add to stress and anxiety if your budget is tight or
you are already struggling to pay off credit cards.
When you concentrate your life around money and
material things, you lose sight of what truly makes you
happy. People. Experiences. Pursuing your
dreams
and
desires. Love and joy. Money helps us take care of
ourselves and others, but when we focus entirely on
wealth or amassing riches, we forget the importance of
what's in our heart and soul, the things that bring us
comfort and cheer. Seek a balance in life, and recognize
that wealth cannot buy happiness. That is something that
must come from within.

Surrounding yourself with toxic
people.
Bad relationships with toxic people steal your happiness.
Negative people suck the joy from life. If you're not
careful, their pessimistic mentality will seep into your
mindset. The sad reality is,
toxic people
don't care about
you and never will, no matter how hard you try to
impress them.
You need to be wary of those who constantly negate your
opinions, who only turn up when they need something or
who don't respect your boundaries or wishes. These are
the types of people who don't know how to have a
healthy relationship with others.
Don't let bad relationships continue to hurt you or bring
you down. Be assertive and confident in who you are.
You deserve to be around people who treat you with
respect and kindness.

opportunities slip through your fingers? Don't wait until

Being your own worst critic.
We believe we must set high expectations and be hard on
ourselves when we fall short. After all, self-criticism is
necessary to identify your flaws and perfect your craft.
There is some truth to the importance of being
self-aware
of areas that you need to work on. A bloated ego will get
you nowhere fast. But constantly beating yourself up or
putting yourself down isn't helpful either. Negative self-
talk will only hurt you and keep you from realizing true
happiness.
The key is to examine the reasons you're so harsh on
yourself. Are you truly disappointed because you know
you can do better? Or do the opinions, desires and
assessments of other people have undo influence on you?
Are you torturing yourself because you're afraid of
letting other people down or because of what others will
think of you?
Take time to connect to the real you. What do you really
want? Who do you want to be? What are your passions,
likes and dislikes? You must find the way to be yourself
and appreciate and love who you are. Put aside the
negative dialogue that runs in your head in favor of
constructive criticism. Remember to be kind to yourself
as well as others: that's the road to true happiness.
