Why you're not happier 😕
How often do we hear " Happiness is an inside job"? Too many to count. .. I've too said it..to my friends, clients even to myself.
But when you are feeling down, depressed, grieved, you name it..... cute cliches arent helpful. What is helpful is intentionally giving attention to yourself and your needs.
When you have a need, how do you show up for yourself? Do you talk yourself out it? Ignore your own pleas and needs?
Sit with that...... that's ground zero towards inner happiness. Triage what is causing "unhappiness" which will require you to stand face to face with what you are avoiding.
After I sat with I was avoiding and looked my demons in the eyes, I realized I was not taking care of Tyra, yet I had an expectation that others would bring happiness to me. Not only is that unrealistic, it put a strain on my connections. They could NEVER give me the happiness that I neglected to tap into.
Happiness is inside you! It will require you to uncover layers of trauma and unhealthy self ideals - but happiness is already inside of you. ❤️
With Love,
Tyra

Happiness is fundamentally an internal journey that requires self-reflection and personal responsibility. Many people invest time in external factors like relationships, careers, and financial success, yet overlook the essence of happiness stemming from within. Recognizing our own needs is pivotal. When we feel low or depressed, it’s crucial to confront those feelings rather than suppress them with clichés about happiness. Taking the time to understand our emotional state can lead to profound self-discovery. This involves identifying and addressing the layers of past traumas and unrealistic self-perceptions. By doing so, individuals learn to nurture their self-worth and happiness, which fosters healthier relationships with others. The path to happiness often requires bravery to face inner struggles, but the reward is a more fulfilled, authentic life. Remember, happiness is not something that others can provide for you; it’s cultivated through self-love and introspection. Commit to this journey, and you’ll find that happiness was within you all along.
