Being Proactive With Your Happiness

Written By Colēgia

Happiness is something that we need to make an active effort for since it doesn't always come to us. A great example of this is pursuing a lifestyle that makes you happy. Rather than being reactive to things, we want to take a proactive approach so we can give ourselves the freedom to choose what we do. Today we want to talk about how we can work towards this and why it's worth our time.

Being Prepared

Having multiple ways to go about our happiness is good since it helps us be more prepared. In life, many things can happen. We can find ourselves late for an event or feel behind in certain areas. Rather than hoping for the best, we need to take care of ourselves in multiple ways. Having a good sleep schedule is one way to do so since we feel much happier when we're well rested. The same applies to a good diet as well. Both of these are fundamental areas for our well-being and they can help us be ready for any challenge we face. The same can be said of having a healthy social network too. Being proactive with our friend groups ensures that we'll have a good support system for years to come. Having good people by your side gives you the help you need to take on anything while also bolstering your happiness.

Self-Understanding

Knowing who we are and what we stand for is the key to being proactive with our happiness. Awareness allows us to see where we are in our lives and gives us the ability to check in with our feelings every now and then. Meditation helps with this since it lets us closely examine our thoughts along with finding ways to improve our situation. One example of this is seeing how we feel at the thought of trying something new. If we feel excited about this, it demonstrates that we're open-minded about all the wonderful possibilities that are in store for us. Self-love and care are the cornerstones of personal fulfillment. Happiness requires an active effort to learn about ourselves since we ultimately want to be our own best friend.

More Control of Your Life

Having a sense of agency within your life can empower you to pursue happiness. Being able to make your own decisions is important, and this is best seen within school. Our courses help lead us toward being more self-sufficient and this is done through a combination of critical thinking, and being more independent. Happiness is unique to everyone and being aware of what fuels your passions is important. Some of us are driven by our careers while others may put more weight on the relationships that we build. Each of these is valid and the steps we take to achieve that will vary. Ultimately we want to strive towards the type of lifestyle that works for us since our happiness matters.
