Gratitude

Description

Are you happy or unhappy? Do you see the glass half empty or half full? On a scale of 1-10, where 1 is very unhappy and 10 is very happy, how would you rate your happiness level?
It is possible you may be unhappy without even realizing it. If you grew up in an unhappy home, you will equate a state of unhappiness with normality and according to the attachment theory of British Psychologist and psychiatrist John Bowlby, may even equate the pain of unhappiness with love.
You may not even know what true happiness feels like…It is possible you have a habit of thinking negative thoughts. Some or many of these may have been picked up in childhood and may be deeply ingrained beliefs. Even if you grew up in a relatively healthy and happy home environment, you may still have picked up some negative core beliefs. They may include thoughts such as “I am not good enough”, “I am not worthy,” or “I am unlovable.”
If you relate to these or any of the following then you are probably feeling unhappy. However, the good news is, there is a lot you can do to change that and train your brain so that you experience a much greater sense of happiness and, the more you practice, the happier you will get.
