Are you content with life?๐คจ
Being content simply means being happy with yourself, your life and where you are at presently rather than focusing on what you believe is missing or lacking.
Easy enough, so why are there so many unhappy people around? Quite simply because most of our problems stem from discontentment. While it may seem as though there are numerous issues that cause unhappiness, at their roots are a few key causes:
๐Lack of self trust
๐Lack of self-belief
๐Lack of self reliance
You can get a handle on these issues by living consciously and practicing letting go of anything that doesn't serve you!
๐AWARENESS
Practice being conscious of your thoughts, feelings, self-rating and judgments. Pay special attention to your emotions, they are the guidance system that reflects your thoughts.
๐ACCEPTANCE
Donโt beat yourself up when things don't go to plan. Accept that life is a series of peaks and troughs. Understand that a situation has no meaning except the one that you choose to give it.
๐STOP MAKING COMPARISONS
Acknowledge and accept when you catch yourself making comparisons to others but also realise that this is judging yourself. It is disempowering and utterly unnecessary; run your own race!
๐COMPASSION
Show compassion to yourself by letting go of past hurts and regrets. Learn from them but also release them.
๐APPRECIATION
Instead of focusing on what you don't have, choose instead to be grateful for who you are, what you do have, who youโre with and what youโre doing. Show appreciation for everything, including yourself.
๐PRACTICE LOVE
Remember that love is also a verb! Embrace yourself, flaws and all. Practice loving the good in yourself, others and your environment.
