< Go Back Quick tips for a happier life Posted: Oct 27, 2022Life is full of ups and downs for everyone. Sometimes
it feels that disappointments happen far too often, outnumbering the good
times. But the way we react to the bad times is very important and can
have a major impact on our overall happiness. Dwelling on disappointments
can lead to a downward spiral of negative thinking, negative behaviour and
further negative consequences.
Allow yourself to feel your disappointment but take the time to
look at it objectively as well. Were the causes of the disappointment
outside your control or did it happen because of something you did or didn’t
do? If they were beyond your control, acknowledge your feelings then choose
to let them go, safe in the knowledge there was nothing you could have done to
alter the outcome. If your actions influenced the disappointment,
acknowledge your feelings and then focus your energy on deciding how you can do
things differently in the future to bring about a positive outcome next
time. This way you can take back control over your life and start to
build yourself a happier future.
