The Happiness Trap Book
There are three important lessons I love the most from the book.
Don’t fight against your negative feelings; then you will get stuck in those:
It is so bad that during the first place, you are stressed, sad, or upset. Unfortunately, most of us have a lot more tension, grief, and frustration on our own by trying to make this bad feeling go away as easily as possible, and generally failing. We believe to the degree that our emotions should be controlled in a Broadway. Then we find that we do fewer than we ever felt over and over again.
Worse, every once in a while, the negative feelings are not just spontaneous. Since people evolved under unsafe circumstances, our brains search for risks of all sorts and scale continuously. And this is because, in the past, our species was never safer than we are now. Try to understand that your mind has its own life and not all of its feelings.
ACT strategies will also make you feel better:
"Thank you, mind!", Tell yourself. It will make you feel more relaxed by developing into tough feelings. It should be recalled, though, the ACT is not just another effort to regulate the emotions. Emotional management strategies are destined to fail, according to ACT experts. Sometimes they make you feel bad. If these tips genuinely make you happy, it is just a fortunate by-product and not the target. Instead, Acceptance and Dedication Counseling aggressively promotes pleasures, especially small pleasures, to be exactly what they last for no matter what duration.
Don't want and get positive feelings and linger, ride them like a surfer on a wave and don't want and escape the bad feeling. You know how this will work if you have ever downloaded the Headspace software. The meditation seminars show you how to start exercising your consciousness by concentrating your attention on your respiration. Then your breaths are counted, your feelings and desires are as you are. If there's a thought, you don't speak about it, mention it and continue.
Act on your values:
There is no way you can rely on feeling because feelings are uncontrollable. But every day, you will know what to do. The Happiness Trap bundles up a few tests to figure out, beneath your past worries about social judgment or loss, what you truly enjoy in life. You will develop a stronger and more rewarding feeling with your life even though you cannot always feel happy. Do this by setting your values and taking action to accomplish them with your selected objectives.
The Happiness Trap is a logical and rational fresh air breath relative to the shallowest talk about conscience and happiness. The Happiness Trap is more like a useful personal growth guide book than a one-time reading since it provides several unique strategies you can follow at your own rate.
