In an age where everything is technology driven, economically most seem to be going steadily up the ladder, but when you look closely, they don’t really seem happy. Strange, isn’t it? Actually not, because money cannot buy happiness. And today we may be literally rolling in money but we are surrounded by health issues, fake people and artificial things which money cannot set right. And that’s the biggest problem plaguing our planet.
How do we overcome all the negativity around us and choose happiness? This is one of the toughest thing to start and end the day with. With so much of stress around, becoming happy can seem quite bizarre! Here is where we need to step up, be mindful of what we do and choose happiness over other negative thoughts. And if you are in a relationship, it’s better because you can help and motivate each other and ultimately it’s a win-win situation for both.
So, how exactly can you up your happiness quotient as a couple? It is really do-able or fictitious? Let’s find out:
- Balance All Areas Of Your life: This is also referred to as Life-Integration. Everything in your life is linked. Whether it is your job, your family, entertainment, friends, finance–everything! You must decide what a successful, healthy, happy and abundant life means to you as a couple and you must take every effort to work your way towards it. If anything goes wrong that takes you off balance, you must set it right immediately.
- Understand Your Individual Priorities: As a couple, it is first important to understand what your individual priorities are and how much it means to you. Be very clear what a successful life means to you and what you must do to get there. Respect for each other’s priorities solves a lot of couple problems.
- Stay Connected At All Times: Despite individual differences and independent goals, stay mentally synced at all times. It is not necessary that only like-minded people can sync.You must want to stay connected and work towards it.
- No One Is Perfect: Never look for perfection in a partner. you will end up losing what you have. Instead look at it this way: Life is full of hurdles to be crossed; if as a couple we can help each other when we are experiencing the darkest moments of our life, we can come out into the light sooner. Be there, offer support and pull each other up. That will not just solve problems but will also bind you stronger as a couple. Keep your arguments to the minimum, choose your words, and never forget who’s more important in life for you. Never let them go away for anything trivial.
“Happiness is something that multiplies when it is divided.”
Paulo Coelho
So, pull up your socks and take complete responsibility of not just your life and mindset, but also of “Us”. Have clarity on your goals and set sail. Then you really need not worry about happiness quotient, because it will never leave you.
