Some people just can’t help sabotage their own happiness by letting their emotions dictate their life. I think we have all been guilty of that, although I don’t pretend that I have a complete handle on it all the time, but I do find more success in it, which is when I do notice more of those around me that don’t. If you understand The Chimp Paradox then you’ll be able to make some sense of it all. For me, it has given me the ability to look at things from a new perspective, I’m not so controlled by my emotions. When things are good, I don’t feel the need to look for faults that aren’t there, which many around me still do.
‘If it’s not broke, don’t fix it’, that’s a quote that springs to mind. I’ve been renowned to strive for perfection, but this isn’t always necessary in many cases, the fact that some things aren’t perfect can make things more unique and won’t create restraints that stops flexibility or puts up walls. People have room to breathe and have the motivation to do the things they want to do and not put things off. I think this is one problem that many struggle with. Practice mindfulness and identify the areas where you can improve your resolve, introduce more calm into your life and control the random thoughts and emotions.
