10 Things You Should Give Up To Be Happy

Mousumi · 02-08-2013, 12:47 PM

Sometimes giving up and letting things go can make us the happiest.
Turning over the pages of time you are quite likely inviting depression,
stress and excuses, all leading you to an unhappy and unfulfilled life.
So, let us see what are those ‘give ups’ that can make us happy and content.

1. Give Up your self-directed negative thoughts

2. Give up your mean habit of criticizing unnecessarily

3. Give up the Past

4. Give up living your life on others expectation

5. Give up your resistance for change

6. Give Up Limiting Beliefs

7. Give up Your Fears

8. Give up the Habit of Blaming Others

9. Give up finding causes not to be happy

10. Give up your personal requirement to control situation

Heart Cardio · 02-08-2013, 05:12 PM

Nice post. ALl of these do make sense to me. I know that in order for me to be happy, I had to give up some of my past because there were things that were causing me conflict.

konakid · 02-08-2013, 05:16 PM

That's a good reminder. I think in general just letting things go and letting of things you have no control over is always a good idea.

If you can change something for the better, do it.

If you can't, let it go as there is nothing you can do and spending emotional energy on it is a waste of time.

Meditation really helps me practice this. I'd recommend it to everybody!

Saintsfan40 · 02-08-2013, 05:19 PM

Great stuff here! Maybe you could add a number eleven. "Staying away from negative people that bring you down and negative people in general". That's what I'm doing for 2013. Not associating with any of that drama or garbage of any sort.

namktqs · 02-08-2013, 08:20 PM

To be happy need don't worry about what will happen. Because it can not happen. Even it happen, that is your life and result of your action before.
You can have good things more. You get more when you open your mind on good things out there waiting you.
Focus on action to make dream become true. That is enloy process for people.

Michael Ten · 02-08-2013, 09:18 PM

Going with the flow and not fighting life makes it a lot easier to be happy, for sure!

Jarmila · 02-09-2013, 01:01 PM

I would add, "DECIDE to be happy."

thedanbrown · 02-09-2013, 05:07 PM

I think blaming others is a critical mistake that leads a lot of people to give up what they really want because they're just thinking about all the excuses instead of what's actually causing the problem.

Very well said!

adikoprcike · 02-10-2013, 01:04 AM

I have to let go of my fears, they hold me back.

danits · 02-10-2013, 05:40 AM

Great post!

The one I like most is: "Give up living your life on others expectation"

I've made some very big changes in my life that I'm happy for because I got tired of living on other people's expectations

tlbowers · 02-10-2013, 11:36 PM

This is awesome! I love it. Many people need a reminder.

Thanks Saintsfan, that is what I have been doing for one year now, and it really works wonders.

Whenever somebody starts talking about sickness and diseases I leave the conversation. That saved me lot of time and worries

and I feel much healthier now not knowing how sick I am probably.

And 4. Give up living your life on others expectation
is my favorite from the original list

Vortex Creator · 02-11-2013, 02:05 AM

Thank you!!!

I love letting go, especially when the situation demands looking at it from a different perspective.

I love this one:
9. Give up finding causes not to be happy

The fastest way to joy is indeed to let go of all the things that don't bring us joy. How often do we tolerate thoughts that bring us sadness, worry, anxiety? Would we wish these thoughts for a loved one? No? Then why are we tolerating it for ourselves??

Feels good to let go

@JohnVincent · 02-11-2013, 10:44 AM

Give up news. TV, papers, internet... It's just doom and gloom. Bad hypnosis. I gave up newspapers, TV news etc in 1992. Trust me, you dont miss the big stories, it's impossible too. But does anyone need to hear about people being stabbed, raped, murdered, the lack of money, jobs, clean air, the list of negativity goes on, but so does life... Who needs an hour a day sucking up bad vibes from a suited authority figure on TV when it's so much more fulfilling to spend that hour focusing on what you want or making a difference to people...

Jeff Schuman · 02-11-2013, 11:01 AM

Great post. I'm glad you did not say give up sugar.

I like #3. I see people all of the time blaming things that happened to them in the past for why they are not successful today.

kellyyarnsbro · 02-11-2013, 07:19 PM

Nice share, those images are cool it expalins it wel, lol.
11. Get a complete rest so as not to worry too much and this way you are happy.

jade69 · 02-12-2013, 11:36 AM

Easy to say... BUT...
I just can't give up all these....
I just can't give up the past...
It's not something I hold on to...
The past is a like a computer virus.
You got it, you are screwed....

Japles · 02-12-2013, 12:05 PM

Awesome! 10 physical things I gave up to live a better life are:

1. Television (My shelf now holds books...a lot of them)
2. Xbox (No more Halo..or paying pricey xbox live fees which means more money for me)
3. Soda (Water all day. Everyday)
4. Having a Messy Room (When my room is organized, my mind is organized)
5. World of Warcraft (No more wasting my life making a non-living characters' better)
6. Junk Food (You are what you eat and I am not junk)
7. Frowning (Fix the problem instead of complaining about it)
8. Sleeping All Day (When I wake up early, I get more done)
9. Procrastination (Still struggling with this one, but I'm getting a lot better)
10. Heavy Drinking (No more killing a 6 pack and suffering the consequences)

What are some things you guys have given up?

Mousumi · 02-13-2013, 12:43 PM

I should have added it among the tens. Thanks for sharing!!

Evocess · 02-13-2013, 11:30 PM

Cool!
I really love your lists Mousumi.
I was on your thread a while ago about the things that you want to experience before you die.

Well in life there are time that we need to sacrifice something in order for us to be happy and achieved our goals. Just make sure that things that you give up are worth the result.

Mousumi · 02-14-2013, 02:34 AM

Thanks

TheOcarlsen · 02-14-2013, 05:00 AM

I have one.

Realize that so-called negative reflections is the only reason you have ever taken action.

Do we ever become creative and innovative because of abundance? Do we ever find our curiosity and desire for exploration from being satisfied? Positive never builds a thing, the lack of it does. Negative is only negative (and turn into depression) if you don't believe something can be done about it. If you do, you take action. There is no need for action if there is not a hole to fill. Whether that is about hunger vs getting food or lack of money vs start of business. Happiness is something we enjoy, not something that creates an urge to do.

Mousumi · 02-14-2013, 02:30 PM

The best thing I read today...Many thanks for your wonderful words!!

2. Give up your mean habit of criticizing unnecessarily~
I think that this one is a good one. When you criticize others, are you doing it to be helpful or to hurt the person?

Sue McDonald · 02-14-2013, 03:40 PM

Great post. You cannot change others you can only change yourself.

Skiz · 02-15-2013, 08:29 AM

Cool list, nice delivery. The angle of photographs adds some comical silliness to the negative things we can get wrapped up in sometimes

talfighel · 02-15-2013, 09:08 AM

Mousumi,

Good stuff.

I love #4:

4. Give up living your life on others expectation

Look at it this way. People will not want you to succeed and will tell you that you can not make it and laugh at you for trying. Never listen to these people because you can not learn anything in life from them if you want to be successful.

HypnoJunkie · 02-17-2013, 06:23 AM

Nice post!

I would add: "Give up comparing yourself to others! - You always lose because you see yourself naked!"

And misguided, I'd add. The news is not intended, generally, to uplift, inspire, or motivate us to greatness.

William Prawira · 02-18-2013, 08:30 PM

This is a good post, you get your points right

I don't have the intention to be rude, just want to give a bit advice. If the images are more or less in the same width, will be much better because you will have a better content arrangement, and people with smaller bandwidth can still access your content fast enough.

The last three are the most difficult to give up...will try nevertheless.
Thanks for sharing

Amandasimmons · 02-23-2013, 12:33 PM

This is something I need to seriously think of......It seems I'll have to dump my partner (before he dumps me)

I have developed a habit of blaming people and the things around...For example, why is the air so dry...why the son is hiding behind the cloud?
When can we (ever) get married?

Give up living your life on others expectation
There are always others out there that think that they know what is best for you. But you know what? Only you know what is best for you and your life. So I do agree with this one a lot. If you want to be happy you must live how you want to live and not live how others want you to live.

I did it by using picture editing program (for example : adobe photoshop). Just resize the image into the more or less same width in pixel.

rnvc · 02-25-2013, 08:04 AM

Give up the past but don't forget to learn from it.

Vallank2 · 02-25-2013, 01:48 PM

Great information and I love your post as well as the 10 physical things to give up. I never forget, I heard a speaker one time say, "I love you, but you gotta go"......sometimes it is important to know when we must let somebody or something go.

I'm a big fan of starting your day off with exercise, then reading and prayer, then work.

Just my take

Mousumi · 02-27-2013, 07:55 AM

Great reminder. Some of these are not easy to let go of. One has to keep applying him or herself to it. Letting go of control particularly.

Oftentimes it does! For example, giving up false pride and beliefs!

Well in life there are time that we need to sacrifice something in order for us to be happy and achieved our goals. Just make sure that things that you give up are worth the result.

Do we ever find our curiosity and desire for exploration from being satisfied? Positive never builds a thing, the lack of it does. Negative is only negative (and turn into depression) if you don't believe something can be done about it. If you do, you take action. There is no need for action if there is not a hole to fill. Whether that is about hunger vs getting food or lack of money vs start of business. Happiness is something we enjoy, not something that creates an urge to do.

Give up your mean habit of criticizing unnecessarily~ I think that this one is a good one. When you criticize others, are you doing it to be helpful or to hurt the person?

Give up living your life on others expectation Look at it this way. People will not want you to succeed and will tell you that you can not make it and laugh at you for trying. Never listen to these people because you can not learn anything in life from them if you want to be successful.

But you know what? Only you know what is best for you and your life. So I do agree with this one a lot. If you want to be happy you must live how you want to live and not live how others want you to live.

I never forget, I heard a speaker one time say, "I love you, but you gotta go"......sometimes it is important to know when we must let somebody or something go. I'm a big fan of starting your day off with exercise, then reading and prayer, then work. Just my take Lank
