#but doesn't expect me to compromise the core parts of myself in the process

[inaris-mage-of-storms]

It’s official? Your girlfriend is now your wife? CONGRATULATIONS!!! May you have many happy years together! (Also, if you ever find out how your awkward autistic ass managed that, please share with the class.)

:D Thank you. Although she has in fact been my wife for over twelve years now! The wedding we were at was her aunt's. If I ever figure it out I'll share the secret, but considering we've been dating since 2006 and I'm still going "???" about it...

How To Find Happiness Within Yourself

Introduction

There is no need to look outside yourself for happiness. In fact, if you do so, you will end up disappointed. Happiness comes from within, and it's something that we all have the ability to create for ourselves. It doesn't matter what your circumstances are in life; you can still find joy right where you are at this very moment—and then share it with others! Here are some tips on how to do just that:

Don't look for happiness in other people.

Whether it’s your partner, family members, friends or colleagues – don’t rely on them to make you feel happy.

No one can be responsible for your happiness except you. So don’t expect others to be happy when they are not. Don’t expect other people to be happy for you when they aren’t and don't expect that others should be happy with you if they aren't either.

Let go of the idea of perfection.

●     The idea of perfection is a myth. Nobody is perfect, and nobody can be perfect—not even you. If you think there’s such a thing as perfection, then it quite literally cannot happen because it would have to be complete and absolute. You don’t have to strive for being “perfect” any more than you have to strive for being “superhuman.”

●     Perfection must not be the goal for your happiness! It doesn't exist in our world, so why force yourself into thinking that it does? Instead of making yourself miserable trying to achieve something that isn't possible, focus on being happy with who you are now and what has happened in your past (no matter how painful).

Clarify your values, and then live by them.

Values are the things that you believe in and stand for. They're not just about what you do, but who you are. If your values don't guide your actions, they're not really values at all—they're just words on a page or in a list of priorities.

Values help you make decisions. They help you choose between options when everything else feels the same. For example: Is this worth my time? Am I willing to devote this much effort toward this goal? What does it mean for me if I achieve my goal? If success means sacrificing myself for others or compromising my values, would it be worth it?

To clarify what's important to us and align our lives with our core beliefs and principles is an ongoing process...

Remember to take care of yourself.

Remember to take care of yourself. It’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of life and forget about your own needs. But self-care is important, and it doesn’t have to be expensive or time consuming. Take a walk on your lunch break, play with your kids for an hour every day or make sure you get enough sleep each night—all these things can help you feel happy!

We all face challenges throughout our lives, but it’s important that we learn how best to cope with them when they arise. If you have ever been through something difficult or traumatic, it might seem impossible that happiness could ever return again. But by incorporating some simple habits into your life (such as those outlined above), improving your well-being will become much easier than you think.

Become comfortable with the idea of change.

Change is a natural part of life, and you can't avoid it. You can, however, prepare for it by accepting the fact that change is inevitable and learn to live with it. Change is a good thing—it allows us to grow as individuals and as a society. But when change happens quickly without warning or preparation, we often experience negative emotions such as fear and anxiety. To deal with these feelings about your own personal situation:

Smile at least once a day.

Smiling can make you feel better. It is a good way to start the day, as you are waking up and setting goals for yourself. It is also a great way to end the day, as it helps you reflect on what happened throughout your day and reassures you that everything is okay. Looking More visit ruchi rathior.

Smiling is also a great way to break the ice with strangers! If someone looks at me and smiles, I'll automatically smile back because they just gave me their approval of my presence in this world and we're going to be friends now. And if they don't smile back or say anything like "Hi" or "What's up?" then I know that person isn't worth my time because it means he/she doesn't appreciate my existence anymore than I do theirs (which isn't much).

Know that you don't have to have it all together all the time.

A lot of us are stuck in the “all or nothing” mindset. We want to be perfect, but we also don’t want to admit that we have flaws and weaknesses. As a result, we feel like we can't be happy because there's always something more that needs to happen for us to feel whole or successful (i.e., losing 10 pounds, getting married, having kids). But knowing that you don't have it all together all the time is actually freeing—you can relax into yourself and be your best self without feeling pressured by an unrealistic standard of perfection.

It helps if you acknowledge these imperfections and embrace them: “I make mistakes sometimes; thank goodness! It means I'm human." Or: "I am flawed in many ways; it makes me uniquely me!" Or even just: "I have strengths and weaknesses just like everyone else."

Learn to accept love from others.

●     Learn to accept love from others.

●     Don’t be afraid to show your feelings.

●     Don’t take things personally.

●     Don't be afraid to ask for help.

●     Be vulnerable and let people in, even if they will hurt you in the end.

Letting go of unrealistic expectations will help you live your life in a happier way

Letting go of unrealistic expectations will help you live your life in a happier way. You need to be realistic about what you can achieve, but also be willing to let go of the things that are not important or worth achieving. This will bring peace into your life and make it easier for you to enjoy the good things around you.

Conclusion

There are many ways to find happiness within yourself. It doesn't always come easy, but with practice and patience you can learn to love yourself for who you are.
