1. I would have been happier if I had to work less.

Our minds often resort to this argument, stating that we would be happier if we did not have to work. We imagine a life full of entertainment and deceived into thinking that we would be happy about it. However, it is idleness often the main cause of boredom and depression. We are - hardworking, creative creation. We need to solve problems and improve, to be happy. Put your soul into something meaningful for yourself, and you will see how your degree of happiness has risen!

2. It's not me, it's all of them.

Our mind tries to make us believe that the cause of our unhappiness - in other people: friends, spouses, parents... We are ready to throw accusations left and right, like a kid throws toys in kindergarten. The moment we take responsibility for our lives, serve as the foundation of true happiness.

3. In order to be happy, I need to discover the secret of happiness.

The secret is that the secrets of happiness or success there. No matter how many tried to convince us of the book, the authors and our own mind, no secret keys from the door of simple human happiness is there. You create a picture of your future yourself, form a strategy, and then aggressively and diligently working on its embodiment. There are no short cuts. Acceptance of this fact will propel you along the path of happiness much more.

4. If I had...

Our brain is trying to convince us that we would have been happier if we had another job, another house, another car ... There is nothing wrong with wanting the best of things and circumstances, but that does not automatically make us happy. They can temporarily lift the mood, but it quickly passes. Anyone who wants lasting happiness must realize that desires bottomless barrel, and it will never fill up to the top. A true happiness comes from within.

5. I love the fact that there are, and do not want to change.

By allowing yourself to think this way, we create all preconditions for falling down. Life - a trip to the constant changes. Some of them we control, some - not. Resistance to change or attempt to take everything under their control are doomed to failure. Change is inevitable. You have to accept it and learn to swim in a continuous stream of changes. The ability to adapt is very important for happiness.

6. If not today, then—never.

Our minds often fall into despair and frustration lends itself to a few steps away from success. Perseverance is very important to achieve happiness. Never let your mind trick you and take defeat. You do not know what will bring you tomorrow. Only one day - it may be all you need to achieve your dreams.

7. I will decide when I'll know exactly what to do.

The more you think, the sooner you come to a dead end. Weighing the risks, opportunities, analysis and approval of the plan - important factors, but nothing happens as long as there is no decision and action. We very rarely have complete information for decision-making. Stop doubts! The failure - not the end of the world. Do not let your mind take you into the trap of the total analysis of all.

8. I know I should not, but...

Our mind tries to deceive us, deny the consequences of our bad habits. Especially it concerns health issues. "I know I should not smoke, but it helps me to lose weight." Or: "I know that this should not be there, but if I can not enjoy life, then why bother to live." Health problems -- of course, it is a challenge happiness. Do not allow the mind to catch you in a trap of self-justification and leniency toward their weaknesses.
