Problem with Pursuing Happiness Too many people spend their entire lives in the pursuit of happiness. They often forget about the things they're doing right now that's making them unhappy. If you want to eliminate unhappiness from your life and become a happier person, follow these 6 simple steps.
Step 1: Don't try to change other people's behavior Having certain expectations about how people around you should act is going to cause you a lot of unhappiness. You must learn to accept that some people will always behave a certain way, no matter what you do. You need to understand that you can't change anyone unless they're willing to change on their own. Instead of trying to change others, focus your energy on changing yourself and the way you perceive others around you.
Step 2: Don't try to be someone you're not Everyone has their own unique traits, challenges and victories. Trying to be someone you're not will make you unhappy over time because you'll undoubtedly feel as if you've betrayed yourself, which is one of the worst feelings in the world. Set a few hours aside each week to reflect on your life and determine who you are, what you really want, and how you can become the best version of yourself.
Step 3: Avoid hanging around unhappy people Negativity is very contagious, and when you hang around unhappy or negative people, you'll find yourself falling into the same mental state as them.
When you hang around these people, chances are your conversation will revolve

around negative things, and your brain will find ways to relate all that negativity into your own life. Finding people who are naturally happy can have the opposite effect. Their positivity will pass on to you and you will find reasons why life is wonderful, even with all the challenges.
Step 4: Think about what you want, not what you don't want Focusing on the things you don't want is a great way to get more of it. Your subconscious mind doesn't distinguish words the same way your conscious mind does. When you repeatedly tell yourself that you don't want something, the nature of your focus becomes negative, and you'll soon find yourself with more of what you don't want. If you want to be happy, focus on activities and people that make you happy, instead of focusing on getting away from all the negative things in your life.
Step 5: Be grateful for all the things you have Our brain has the wonderful ability to find the things we search for. Actively finding things that you are grateful for will shift your brain's focus towards a positive state. Research has shown that people, who express the most gratitude, are also people who experience the most happiness in life.
Step 6: Avoid being a perfectionist Trying to be perfect at everything creates a lot of negative self criticism and self esteem issues. It also contributes greatly to procrastination, which can lead to feelings of frustration and inadequacy. Make the conscious decision to embrace imperfection and you will notice a huge increase in your level of happiness and productivity.
