Happiness not only makes people feel at ease, but also makes families more harmonious. However, you may not know that there are 7 common psychological factors that can reduce your happiness. Let's take a look below.
1. Not good at discovering the sunny side
There are many positive and positive aspects in life, but many people overlook them. "They only see their own misfortunes and overlook their own happiness" and "magnify the happiness of others and reduce their own happiness" are their true portrayals.
Some media outlets also promote and report negative events in their daily lives in order to attract attention. Although it satisfies people's curiosity to a certain extent, it also weakens people's positive mental attitude.
2. Lack of belief
After more than 20 years of sprinting wealth races, some people do not know what their goals and pursuits in life are, or even what they want, except for making money. This lack of belief and ideals makes it difficult to generate long-term and happy happiness.
3. Old Love Comparison
Modern people devote their main energy to competition, such as positions, houses, wealth, and so on. Over time, people's hearts are only filled with desires, without happiness. Once a person's pursuit is not how to be happy, but how to be happier than others, happiness will also be far away from you.
4. I don't know how to contribute
A study by Harvard University in the United States has shown that helping others more in life can make oneself feel happier. But in modern society, fewer and fewer people are willing to selflessly contribute, and more and more people are haggling over every detail. If you finally figure out 'what can I get out of it' and 'is it worth doing it', you will live a good life.
5. Not satisfied
As the saying goes, 'Those who are satisfied are always happy', but fewer and fewer people are able to be satisfied. With a house, they want to exchange for a bigger one, a job, a better one, and money, they want to earn more. These desires drive people to work tirelessly and strive to reach the pinnacle of 'glory'.
6. Mutual distrust
Although communication is highly developed in society, people's hearts are gradually becoming estranged. Nowadays, people are increasingly inclined towards the "right brain" thinking mode, where the right brain is responsible for individuals, power, status, etc., and their perception of happiness is zero. Happiness comes from the feelings in the left brain, often not because there is less happiness in life, but because people no longer have the ability to feel happiness.
7. Excessive anxiety
Issues such as purchasing a house, raising children, and the burden of family elderly care; The work pressure caused by concerns about the promotion space in the workplace; The handling of interpersonal relationships between friends and colleagues has become a "source of stress" for Chinese people. In big cities, whether the elderly, young people, or children, they are often in a state of restlessness and anxiety, which makes people unable to feel happiness from the bottom of their hearts.

Enjoy the moment
To live in a state where children's smiles are treated as jewelry, satisfaction is gained in helping friends, and joy is shared with the characters in good books.

More and more evidence suggests that negative emotions can cause depression, while positive emotions can motivate progress. One thing happy people do is strive to eliminate negative emotions.

Don't be idle, don't trap yourself in front of the TV, immerse yourself in things that can use your skills.
Caring for the soul
Research on the relationship between faith and happiness shows that people with faith feel happier than those without faith. Of course, faith cannot exempt us from all sorrows, it cannot encompass everything, but faith often reminds you to move forward along the path of happiness.
Outdoor activities are a great medicine for dealing with stress and anxiety. A survey of college students who feel a certain amount of pressure shows that students who regularly exercise outdoors are significantly better off than non participants.
