Your Relationships And Happiness

Written By Colēgia

Happiness can involve a combination of many different factors in your life such as satisfaction in work or school. One area that helps immensely is our relationships. These can contribute to your well-being in a meaningful way and make a positive difference. Today we want to talk about your relationships and happiness.

Your Relationship With Yourself

This type of relationship often goes by without us taking much action as we can take it for granted. Our relationship with ourselves is extremely important as it can affect many different aspects. Self-worth is one such area. When we feel confident in what we do along with who we are, we can promote good mental habits and feel empowered. There are instances where we may feel doubt and that is okay. One way to help with this is to take time for yourself to decompress. You can't always give it your all if you don't feel well and understanding this is the key to a positive relationship with yourself. Doing things that you enjoy or provide meaning is good as they can lift you up and sustain your happiness. Building self-awareness can also help with this as it allows us to see how we feel emotionally, and rationally.

Your Relationships With Others

As people, we have a social network that we need to nurture. Some people within our network are our peers and teachers who we will need to talk to on a daily basis. Establishing a good rapport with them is healthy as both sides can help each other along the way. Other common relationships are those with your friends and family. This kind of relationship is usually closer as these are people who you will voluntarily spend time with and who are a major part of your life. Being on good terms with family is necessary as they've taken care of us and have provided love and support throughout our lives. Your support network is something we can fall back on when we feel that some elements are too much for us. Treating people well is a given and giving someone that same amount of care and acceptance can ultimately enhance our lives.

Your Relationship With The World

Our relationships go far beyond the scope of what is limited to our own geographic location. Having a good relationship and outlook on the world matters just as much. Perspective is something that can shape how we see things and it can affect whether we see things in a positive or negative light. Making an active effort to see the positive side of things is good as there are so many things to cherish. Being mindful of the difficult areas also has merit as we want to be transparent with our thoughts and emotions. Taking care of our relationship with the world by being environmentally friendly and kind to other creatures is another way to keep this good outlook. We're all in this together and we can find happiness when we foster respect and gratitude.
