How To Stay Unhappy
If there was a handbook for how to stay unhappy, it would be a short one, with just three words: Justify your unhappiness.
There is no better way to stay unhappy than to list a boatload of reasons why you're sad and blue.
Removing one word from your vocabulary will take your justifications/reasons down to a bare minimum. That word is “Because.
The minute you say I’m unhappy because . . . you’re stickier than a candy cane covered in dog slobber.
“Because” is the gateway to justifications, and justifications will keep whatever is being justified in place.
So the formula for staying unhappy is to defend your unhappiness.
I love the way author Eckhart Tolle acknowledges unhappiness. He recommends saying the following to yourself: “I have unhappiness within me.” That gives the unhappy feeling the recognition it seeks. Once you recognize and just sit with the feeling, you begin the process of “unjustified” healing.
Leaving your justifications off your list of woes weakens their grip, and prevents what old hippies used to call a "bad trip."
All the best,
John
