Happiness is the state of mind that a person develops with time. According to the life coach Dr Hitu Khera, the main issue for people being unhappy is that nowadays they evaluate their happiness based on how happy others want to perceive them. “Hence the need for propaganda” added Dr Hitu Khera while interacting with a Times Of India reporter. With the advent of social media, most people have quantified their happiness with the amount of likes and comments on their photos and videos. It highlights the role of external perception in defining our happiness, which is nothing more than mere materialism. Let’s take a look at some of the tips which Dr Hitu Khera shares that help people to stay happy in reality.
Resourceful Happiness
Dr Hitu Khera asks people to break the equation of Happiness = Resources. She stresses that the idea that material wealth and resources truly play a role in happiness is wrong. If we can expand our understanding of happiness beyond money and resources then we can truly remain happy in real time. This will help people to focus on more important aspects of life such as personal relationships, inner well-being, purpose and experiences which can be achieved without any resources as well. She asks people to look beyond materialistic wealth to remain happy.
Hustle Culture
People tend to work day and night and sometimes become employees of more than one job at a time to earn money. They believe that the more they exert themselves, the better their chances are of having a comfortable and happy future. “I think hustle culture sounds cool and seems productive, but it can be draining mentally and physically,” said Dr Hitu Khera while interacting with TOI. She stresses the importance of a balanced working style. Keeping yourselves mentally and physically fit is one primary factors responsible for true happiness.
Focus On Positives
It is important to focus on the positive ones around you. If you keep attending to the negative aspects of your life, then you will also become unhappy and pessimistic. Try to say optimistic all the time. Avoid negative energy around you to achieve happiness in reality. Meditate to keep yourself calm.
