Feeling Bad is Overrated: A Personal Journey to Happiness

Hey there! Recently, I found myself pondering a pretty important question: what’s really making me feel “bad”? It’s so crucial to dig deep into the roots of those negative feelings because they often signal that something in our lives needs adjusting.

When I took a moment to reflect, I realized I was stuck in a frustrating loop. Little annoyances would build up, making me feel overwhelmed and irritable. Then I’d react poorly, which would lead to guilt and even more frustration. Take my mornings, for instance. Every day, I’d open the closet to grab our coats and hats for the school run, only to be met with a chaotic mess. That clutter immediately put me in a bad mood.

The result? I’d find myself snapping at my kids, “Come on! Where’s your hat?” and then feel terrible for losing my cool. While a messy closet isn’t the end of the world, being constantly cranky is a serious issue.

So, I decided to tackle my happiness project on a basic level. I focused on practical steps to reduce my irritability:

1. Making sure I didn’t let myself get too hungry.
2. Dressing warmly enough for the weather.
3. Taking pain relief for headaches or neck tension.
4. Turning off the lights when I felt sleepy.
5. Organizing and decluttering my space.

These simple changes really helped lower my irritability and, in turn, lessened my guilt. Once I figured out what was causing my bad feelings, I could apply the Eighth Commandment: “identify the problem.” Why am I feeling anxious? Or maybe guilty for letting the kids watch too much TV? It’s essential to really think about whether those feelings are valid or if they’re just something I think I should care about.

For example, I used to dread paying the bills. But when I asked myself if I’d want my partner to take over that task, I realized I actually liked being in control of our finances. That shift in perspective made a world of difference.

It’s about either fixing the issue or accepting it. I started tackling my own bad feelings by making little changes: reducing gossip, calling family more often, cleaning up after meals, and making playdates for my daughter. Sure, it’s uncomfortable to push myself to try new things, but that discomfort often leads to feeling better overall.

Some things I’m working on are a bit too personal to share here, but the key takeaway is to figure out why you’re feeling bad and how you can change that. If you’re unhappy with yourself, remember that acting better can boost your self-esteem.
