A quote from Gretchen Rubin's Happiness Project:
10 Common Happiness Mistakes.
Every Wednesday is Tip Day -- or List Day, or Quiz Day.
This Wednesday: 10 common happiness mistakes.
- To delay to do something important until you have some “free time,” because you may never have any free time
- To retreat into isolation when you’re unhappy
- To neglect to make a small change because you think a big change is necessary
- To refuse to consider a big change because you assume you can only make a small change
- To “treat” yourself to something you wouldn’t ordinarily permit yourself, because you’re feeling blue
- To postpone something important until you’re feeling healthier, or thinner, or married, or whatever
- To think that you can “make” someone else be happy
- To imagine that what’s true for other people is true for you
- To spend too much time, or not enough time, thinking about the past, present, or future
- To ignore the truth about your own temperament, interests, and aptitudes
