SKILL #01:

THE HIDDEN COST OF CONSTANT POSITIVITY

While it may seem like always aiming to feel good is the key to a happy life, the pursuit of endless positivity often leads to chronic dissatisfaction. When we constantly seek happiness, we reinforce the idea that our current state is inadequate. This creates a loop where we chase more—more success, more pleasure, more affirmation—yet never feel fulfilled.

Real emotional health comes not from feeling good all the time, but from being comfortable with negative emotions. Anger, sadness, frustration, and fear all serve important purposes. They alert us to what needs to change, help us grow, and allow us to experience joy in contrast. Constant positivity dulls this emotional intelligence and can disconnect us from authentic experiences.

SKILL #02:

THE PARADOX OF WANTING TO BE HAPPY

Ironically, the more you focus on being happy, the less happy you tend to feel. This is because the act of striving for happiness creates a subconscious message: “I’m not happy enough.” It perpetuates a mindset of lack, rather than abundance.

True contentment often arises when people stop obsessing over how they feel and start paying attention to what they value. Instead of asking, “How can I feel good right now?” a better question might be, “What’s worth struggling for?” Happiness tends to follow—not lead—when you’re aligned with something meaningful.
