1. The habit of comparing yourself to others.
Nothing robs us of joy more than the habit of constantly comparing ourselves to the people around us. It is important to understand and accept your uniqueness - with its strengths and weaknesses. Even if someone comes along who is very good at something and you start to get jealous, try to turn it into a plus. Instead of burning with envy, think about what you can do to get closer to the result that the other person has achieved. Let his superiority become the "fuel" for your motivation to act, and not an anchor that will pull you to the emotional bottom.

2. Participation in conflicts. As Dr. Wayne Dyer says, "Conflict will not happen without your participation in it." It depends only on your reaction to events or the words of a person what will happen next. Of course, it is not always easy to “turn the other cheek” or remain silent, but in the long run, this is much more preferable than swearing and sorting things out. I react to the conflict actively, you doom yourself to negative emotions even after it ends. So be generous and try not to get involved in quarrels and strife.

3. Taking life too seriously
Life is serious but funny at the same time. Enjoy your journey, make mistakes, laugh, cry, fool around. Play seriously, but remember that this is just a game.

4. Realization is not your dream.
We are in so much contact with other people so often that it can sometimes be difficult to hear your own inner voice. But deep down, we still know for sure what we want from this life, and what we don’t need for nothing. Ask yourself, “What would I do if I had unlimited money?” or “What would I do if I only had one year left to live?” How much of the above are you doing now?

5. Striving for excellence
Nothing lessens your chances of being happy than perfectionism. If you are not a robot, then you are doomed to make mistakes. Even the most parting experience can become an instructive experience for you, it can become an instructive and important experience for you. Instead of wanting to come to an ideal, which is still just an illusion, just try to give your best and do what depends on you.
