8 Ways to Grow Your Happiness by Letting Go
Happiness
in all walks of life is often more about stopping than starting. More
about subtracting than adding. More about letting go than holding on.Consider, for example, what happens when you stop, subtract or let go of…
It’s far easier to be critical than correct, just as it’s easier to see why something is lacking rather than why it is good. If you meet someone for the first time and you decide, “This is a person I don’t like,” you can basically take every one of their characteristics and find the obvious flaw. What’s hard to do is describe what you like about them, despite their incompatibility with your ideals.
Everyone is unique: not better, not worse, just unique in their own way. Appreciate the differences instead of criticizing the shortcomings and you’ll see people – and yourself – in a far better light
Remember, it isn’t someone who proves you wrong that hurts you; it is choosing to continue your self-deception and ignorance that eventually conquers you entirely.
The measure of your intelligence and success in life will be in direct proportion to your ability to change your mind and let it expand. If someone is able to show you that what you think or do is not right, thank them and happily adjust. Seek the truth. Never stop learning.
Imagine that you’re driving in your car and you get stuck in rush hour traffic. The traffic situation is out of your control and simply requires your patience. However, this doesn’t stop you from switching lanes, trying to cut in front of other cars, or even leaving the road you’re on to try alternate routes – all desperate efforts to gain control. Sadly, these efforts just lead to further stress and unhappiness when they are unsuccessful – when control is again obstructed.
Quite simply, the reason you are often miserable and stressed is because of an unhealthy attachment to certain things you have no control over. So let go. Release the tension and stress. Realize you haven’t lost anything; you were never in control of the uncontrollable to begin with.
The past is valuable. It provides a solid foundation for everything you’re doing now. Learn from it – the mistakes and the successes – and then let it go. This process might seem easier said than done, but it depends on your focus. The past is just training; it doesn’t define you in this moment. Think about what went wrong, but only in terms of how you will help you make things right.
The bottom line is that if nothing ever changed – if no chances were ever taken and no mistakes were ever made – there would be no sunrise the next morning. Most of us are comfortable where we are even though the whole universe is constantly changing around us. Learning to accept this change is vital to our happiness and general self-improvement. Because only when we let go of what used to be, do we grow and begin to see a world we never knew was possible.
The key is being thankful for what you have NOW.
No, not all the puzzle pieces of life will seem to fit together at first, but in time you’ll realize they do, perfectly. So thank the situations that didn’t work out for you, because they just made room for the situations that will. And thank the people who walked away from you, because they just made room for the ones who won’t.
No matter how good or bad you think you have it, wake up each day thankful for your life. Someone somewhere else is desperately fighting for theirs. Instead of thinking about what you’re missing, think about what you have that everyone else is missing. Think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive in your own shoes – to breathe a fresh breath, to think another thought, to enjoy a new moment, to have options – then go out and make the day count.
Don’t talk about what’s wrong. Harping on your problems makes you feel worse, not better. Unless you want to complain about it forever, eventually you’ll have to DO something. If you took a fraction of the energy you put into complaining and applied it to solving your problem, you’d likely be stunned by how well things can work out. Start talking about how you’ll improve things, even if the conversation is only with yourself, and then focus on the next positive step. Refocus your energy into making your situation better.
Meanwhile days, weeks, months, and even years of our precious lives pass us by. And so do our dreams.
The best way I’ve found to let go of fear is to stare it down. Connect to your fear, feel it in your body, realize it and steadily address it. Greet it by name if you have to: “Welcome, fear.” And then take action! Whatever you’ve been planning, whatever you’ve imagined, whatever you’ve dreamed of, don’t wait another minute. Get started! Take the first step. Do something. Do anything. Learn as you go and watch as your fears slowly subside.
When you leave the wrong people behind, the right things start happening. What would happen if you surrounded yourself with people who made you better? What would happen if you started spending time with the RIGHT people?
Think about it.
1. Criticizing everyone and everything.
Life isn’t perfect. People make mistakes. Let go of unfair expectations. Stop criticizing yourself and others for being human. If you feel like everyone is judging you all the time, realize that human beings often feel this way when they are too busy judging themselves.It’s far easier to be critical than correct, just as it’s easier to see why something is lacking rather than why it is good. If you meet someone for the first time and you decide, “This is a person I don’t like,” you can basically take every one of their characteristics and find the obvious flaw. What’s hard to do is describe what you like about them, despite their incompatibility with your ideals.
Everyone is unique: not better, not worse, just unique in their own way. Appreciate the differences instead of criticizing the shortcomings and you’ll see people – and yourself – in a far better light
2. Believing that you have all the answers.
Criticizing has a big brother: the know-it-all-syndrome. The older you grow, the higher you rise in your chosen field, and the more you achieve, the more likely you are to think you know it all. When you catch yourself thinking and speaking with intense finality and little tolerance for new ideas, stop yourself and take a deep breath. If you do not, you will alienate the world around you and become more and more disconnected from reality with each passing day. Few things are sadder and leave a person unhappier.Remember, it isn’t someone who proves you wrong that hurts you; it is choosing to continue your self-deception and ignorance that eventually conquers you entirely.
The measure of your intelligence and success in life will be in direct proportion to your ability to change your mind and let it expand. If someone is able to show you that what you think or do is not right, thank them and happily adjust. Seek the truth. Never stop learning.
3. Trying to control everything.
Craving control leads to anger and unhappiness. Life is to be lived, not controlled. Powerful, positive change will occur in your life when you decide to take control of yourself instead of craving control over everyone and everything else.Imagine that you’re driving in your car and you get stuck in rush hour traffic. The traffic situation is out of your control and simply requires your patience. However, this doesn’t stop you from switching lanes, trying to cut in front of other cars, or even leaving the road you’re on to try alternate routes – all desperate efforts to gain control. Sadly, these efforts just lead to further stress and unhappiness when they are unsuccessful – when control is again obstructed.
Quite simply, the reason you are often miserable and stressed is because of an unhealthy attachment to certain things you have no control over. So let go. Release the tension and stress. Realize you haven’t lost anything; you were never in control of the uncontrollable to begin with.
4. Dwelling on what used to be.
When something negative happens, view this circumstance as a chance to learn something you didn’t know. Don’t wish it never happened. Don’t try to step back in time. Take the lessons learned and step forward. You have to tell yourself, “It’s OK. You’re doing OK.” You need to know that it’s better to cross new lines and suffer the consequences of a lesson learned from time to time, than to just stare at the lines for the rest of your life and always wonder.The past is valuable. It provides a solid foundation for everything you’re doing now. Learn from it – the mistakes and the successes – and then let it go. This process might seem easier said than done, but it depends on your focus. The past is just training; it doesn’t define you in this moment. Think about what went wrong, but only in terms of how you will help you make things right.
The bottom line is that if nothing ever changed – if no chances were ever taken and no mistakes were ever made – there would be no sunrise the next morning. Most of us are comfortable where we are even though the whole universe is constantly changing around us. Learning to accept this change is vital to our happiness and general self-improvement. Because only when we let go of what used to be, do we grow and begin to see a world we never knew was possible.
5. Wanting everything you don’t have.
Life is NOT short if you spend every waking moment appreciating it. It’s just that by the time most of us catch up to appreciating what we have, we’ve already squandered our time and left life at least halfway behind us.The key is being thankful for what you have NOW.
No, not all the puzzle pieces of life will seem to fit together at first, but in time you’ll realize they do, perfectly. So thank the situations that didn’t work out for you, because they just made room for the situations that will. And thank the people who walked away from you, because they just made room for the ones who won’t.
No matter how good or bad you think you have it, wake up each day thankful for your life. Someone somewhere else is desperately fighting for theirs. Instead of thinking about what you’re missing, think about what you have that everyone else is missing. Think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive in your own shoes – to breathe a fresh breath, to think another thought, to enjoy a new moment, to have options – then go out and make the day count.
6. Whining and doing nothing about it.
Complaining does not work as a strategy. Those who complain the most, accomplish the least positive results. When you spend time fretting and complaining, you’re simply using your imagination to create things you don’t want.Don’t talk about what’s wrong. Harping on your problems makes you feel worse, not better. Unless you want to complain about it forever, eventually you’ll have to DO something. If you took a fraction of the energy you put into complaining and applied it to solving your problem, you’d likely be stunned by how well things can work out. Start talking about how you’ll improve things, even if the conversation is only with yourself, and then focus on the next positive step. Refocus your energy into making your situation better.
7. Fearing everything for any reason at all.
Sometimes we’re afraid we’ll fail. Sometimes we’re subconsciously afraid we’ll succeed, because then we’d have to deal with all the disruption (growth) and change that follows success. And other times it’s our fear of rejection or simply our fear of looking like a fool. So it’s easier to hesitate, to wait for the perfect moment, to decide we need to think a bit longer or do some more research or explore a few more unnecessary alternatives.Meanwhile days, weeks, months, and even years of our precious lives pass us by. And so do our dreams.
The best way I’ve found to let go of fear is to stare it down. Connect to your fear, feel it in your body, realize it and steadily address it. Greet it by name if you have to: “Welcome, fear.” And then take action! Whatever you’ve been planning, whatever you’ve imagined, whatever you’ve dreamed of, don’t wait another minute. Get started! Take the first step. Do something. Do anything. Learn as you go and watch as your fears slowly subside.
8. Spending time with people who drain you.
It’s not always where you are in life, but who you have by your side that matters most. Some people drain you and others provide soul food. Don’t jeopardize your dignity and self-respect by trying to make someone accept, love and appreciate you when they have proven that they are incapable of doing so.When you leave the wrong people behind, the right things start happening. What would happen if you surrounded yourself with people who made you better? What would happen if you started spending time with the RIGHT people?
Think about it.
Your turn…
What could you stop, subtract, or let go in life that would make you feel happier and more at ease?How to avoid Stress during Examinations? Tips
Examination fever or the examination
stress is very common among the students. The pressure to get good
marks is so much that some of the students falls seriously ill or are
not able to perform due to the pressure. But students must understand
that the examinations are just
the assessment of what studies they have done in a term and it not the
end of the world. It is advisable that the students do regular studies
and avoid mugging up in the last minute of examinations.
Few tips that will help the students to avoid stress during examinations are as follows.
Few tips that will help the students to avoid stress during examinations are as follows.
- Organize – It is very important that the students get all the necessary things required for examination well in advance. This includes pen, pencils, watch, hall ticket, eraser etc. It will save the students from last minute search of things which is the cause of stress.
- Diet – The student must follow a diet plan during examinations
which is not very heavy and at the same time is very nutritious. Do not
skip your meals as it may lead to fatigue and the student will
concentrate more on their empty stomach then on exams. Always keep a bottle of water with you to keep yourself hydrated.
- Relax – At the last minute, do not try to mug up new things.
Revise what you have already learnt and keep a cool mind. Be confident
of what you have studied. It is important that you give the exam with a
refreshing mind. A tired mind will only cause more troubles by making
you forget what you have learnt.
- Plan – Once you get the question paper
spend few minutes to go through all the questions. Plan properly how
you want to divide your time for various questions. You must first
attempt the questions that you know best.
- Cross Check – try to finish your exam 10-15 minutes before
the completion time. Always go through the answers that you have written
to ensure that you have not written wrong answers. This will help you
to correct the careless mistakes which in turn can make you lose lots of
marks.
- Forget – The students must forget about the past examination
and concentrate on next paper – A lot of time if our paper doesn’t go
well as we have anticipated, we keep worrying about that. It is
advisable that the students forget about the past exam because there is
nothing they can do about it now. Focus on your next exams and try to
cover up in rest of the examinations.
- Sleep pattern – The most important aspect to avoid stress during examination is that you keep a proper sleep pattern. The examination lasts for several days and therefore, you must have a proper sleep to avoid feeling exhausted.

காட்டில் ஒரு சிங்கம், ஒரு ஆட்டை அழைத்தது. ”என் வாய் நாறுகிறதா என்று பார்த்துச்சொல், ”என்று கேட்டது. ஆடு முகர்ந்து பார்த்துவிட்டு, ’ஆமாம்,நாறுகிறது. ’என்று சொல்லிற்று. உடனே சிங்கம், ”முட்டாளே, உனக்கு எவ்வளவு திமிர், ”என்று கூறி அதன் மீது பாய்ந்து குதறியது.
அடுத்து சிங்கம் ஒரு ஓநாயை அழைத்து. அதனுடைய கருத்தைக் கேட்டது. ஓநாய் முகர்ந்து பார்த்துவிட்டு, ”கொஞ்சம் கூட நாறவில்லை, ”என்றது. சிங்கம், ”மூடனே, பொய்யா சொல்கிறாய்?” என்று கூறி அடித்துக் கொன்றது.
பின்னர் ஒரு நரியை அழைத்து அதே கேள்வியைக் கேட்டது. நரி சொன்னது, ”நாலு நாளா கடுமையான ஜலதோஷம். அதனால் எனக்கு ஒரு வாசனையும் தெரியவில்லை. ”சிங்கம் நரியை விட்டுவிட்டது.

ஒரு நிறுவனத்தின் மேலாளராக புதிதாக ஒருவர் சேர்ந்தார். அங்கிருந்து மாறுதலாகி செல்பவர் அனுபவம் வாய்ந்தவர். எனவே புதியவர் அவரிடம் திறமையான நிர்வாகம் பற்றி சில ஆலோசனைகள் கேட்டார். அவர் உடனே புதியவரிடம் மூன்று கவர்களைக் கொடுத்து சொன்னார்,” உங்களுக்கு எப்போது பிரச்சினை வருகிறதோ அப்போது மட்டும் ஒவ்வொரு கவராக எடுத்துப் பார்த்துக் கொள்ளவும். அதில் உங்கள் பிரச்சினைக்கு தீர்வு இருக்கும்,” புதியவர் அவருக்கு நன்றி கூறி மூன்று கவர்களையும் வாங்கி வைத்துக் கொண்டார்.
ஒரு மாதத்திலேயே அவருக்கு தொழிலாளர்களிடமிருந்து ஒரு நெருக்கடிவந்தது. உடனே முதல் கவரை எடுத்து திறந்து படித்தார். அதில்,” நான் புதியவன். எனவே எனக்கு சிறிது கால அவகாசம் வேண்டும் என்று கேட்கவும்.” என்று எழுதியிருந்தது. அதேபோல அவரும், ”நான் இப்போதுதானே வந்திருக்கிறேன். நிறுவனத்தைப் பற்றி முழுமையாக அறிந்தால் தானே எதுவும் செய்ய முடியும். ”என்றார். வந்தவர்களும் அது நியாயம் எனக் கருதி சென்று விட்டனர். அடுத்து ஒரு ஆண்டில் மறுபடியும் பிரச்சினை வந்தது. இரண்டாவது கவரை திறந்து பார்த்தார். அதில், ”முன்பு மேலாளர் களாய் இருந்தவர்களைக் குறை சொல்,” என்றிருந்தது. உடனே அவரும் சொன்னார், ”பாருங்கள், நான் என்ன செய்வது? இந்த நிறுவனத்தை முன்னேற்ற நான் இரவு பகலாக சிந்தித்து செயல் பட்டுக் கொண்டிருக்கிறேன். ஆனால் இங்கு முன்பு பணி புரிந்தவர்கள் என்ன தான் வேலை பார்த்தார்களோ தெரியவில்லை. எதை எடுத்தாலும் ஒரே குப்பை இதை சீர் செய்யவே எனக்கு நேரம் சரியாக இருக்கிறது. ”வந்தவர்களுக்கு என்ன சொல்வது என்று தெரியாமல் சென்று விட்டார்கள்.

அவன் சொன்னான், ”ஐயா, நான் குதிரைக்காரன். எனக்கு ஒன்றும் தெரியாது. அனால் ஒன்றே ஒன்று மட்டும் தெரியும். நான் முப்பது குதிரை வளர்க்கிறேன். புல்லு வைக்கப் போகும் போது, எல்லாக் குதிரைகளும் வெளியே சென்றிருக்க, ஒரே ஒரு குதிரை மட்டும் இருந்தாலும், நான் அந்தக் குதிரைக்குப் புல்லை வைத்து விட்டுத்தான் வருவேன்.”படாரென்று அறைந்தது போல் இருந்தது குருவுக்கு. அந்தக் குதிரைக் காரனைப் பாராட்டி விட்டு, அவனுக்கு மட்டும் தன பிரசங்கத்தை ஆரம்பித்தார். தத்துவம், மந்திரம், பாவம், புண்ணியம், சொர்க்கம், நரகம் என்று சரமாரியாகப் பேசிப் பிரமாதப் படுத்தி விட்டார். பிரசங்கம் முடிந்ததும், எப்படி இருந்தது என்று அவனைப் பார்த்துப் பெருமையாகக் கேட்டார்.
ஐயா, நான் குதிரைக்காரன். எனக்கு ஒன்றும் தெரியாது. ஆனால் ஒன்று மட்டும் தெரியும். நான் புல்லு வைக்கப் போன இடத்தில் ஒரே ஒரு குதிரை தான் இருந்தது என்றால், அதற்கு மட்டும் தான் புல் வைப்பேன். முப்பது குதிரைக்கான புல்லையும் அந்த ஒரு குதிரைக்கே கொட்டி விட்டு வர மாட்டேன், ”என்றான் அவன். அவ்வளவு தான்! குரு அதிர்ந்து விட்டார்.

உடனே ஏழை சொன்னான்,” அரசே,நீங்களே ஒத்துக் கொண்டுவிட்டீர்கள், நான் சரியான பொய் சொன்னேன் என்று. எனவே போட்டி விதியின்படி எனக்கு ஆயிரம் பொற்காசுகள் கொடுங்கள்.” அரசன்,தான் அவசரத்தில் உளறிவிட்டோம் என்பதை உணர்ந்தான். உடனே சொன்னான்,” இல்லை, இல்லை, நீ பொய் சொல்லவில்லை.” என்று அவசரமாக மறுத்தான். ஏழை சொன்னான்,” நல்லது அரசே,நான் சொன்னது பொய் இல்லை, உண்மைதான் என்றால், எனக்கு தர வேண்டிய ஆயிரம் பொற்காசுகளைக் கொடுங்கள்,” அரசன் அந்த ஏழையை சிறந்த பொய்யன் என்று ஏற்று ஆயிரம் பொற்காசுகளை வழங்கினான்.
