Focus on finding joy in simple, everyday activities.
When you are in pain, upset, frustrated or annoyed, you are making it all about yourself—and this is a signal you are living from a place of self-importance. Maybe you expected an outcome to look a different way, or perhaps you experienced discomfort from a relationship breakup or the loss of money, a house or a job?
When life is not going our way, we experience negative emotions towards ourselves and others. Self-hatred and self-doubt are indicators of negative self-importance, and the root of this feeling is a core belief that keeps telling us that we are really something or somebody. We believe that we are more important than others and more important than everything else.
A gentle way to move out of pain regarding self-importance is to shift into your heart and let what is bothering you drift away sweetly. Rather than thinking about yourself, enjoy the simple things in your life, such as getting dressed in the morning or even brushing your teeth. Get clarity on what is more meaningful than negative feelings about yourself. Focus on something that you know is good, such as how you feel when you mindfully perform simple tasks or experience nature.
Work on enjoying and liking everything you do in your life. When there is a genuineness to performing everyday tasks and engaging in simple pleasures, you come back into your innocence. You become happy without a reason!
