Feeling frustrated with life is not a bad thing, it can be a powerful motivator to help you achieve the life you've always wanted. However, you must understand that life satisfaction comes from what you have, not what you don't have. Look deeply inside you to see the good things you have.

Steps

Part 1 of 3: Improve your opinion

1. 

   Kind. Believe it or not, this can be the first step toward feeling your strength. If you do not value and view yourself positively, you may not be aware of your influence on others. The truth is whoever you are, you will still have the power to make an impact on the world positively (or negatively). Bad habits are contagious, but so is happiness and positive things. Research has shown that doing something good for others increases the chemical 'fun' in the brain, also known as serotonin. So, even when you feel uncomfortable, try to be kind to everyone around you - you will gradually feel better.
   • Take some time to make eye contact. Ask others how they are feeling today or give them some sincere compliments.Try to remember their names and ask friends or co-workers about their lover.
   • Believe in the good side of others. You don't know what's going on in their life. Perhaps today you are the only one who treats them like a "human". Maybe you don't realize that a single word or a smile - even from a complete stranger - can help someone feel better.

2. 

   
   
   Pretend until you can do it. Experiencing feelings of happiness and satisfaction can lead you to a state of contentment. Just as being kind to others can help us feel better about ourselves, so can we pretend that we're in a good mood.
   • If you wake up one morning and feel extremely depressed, try to stop the cycle by focusing on positive energy. Look in the mirror and smile at yourself. It might feel a bit silly, but it does work. When you step outside and people ask you how you feel, answer like that was the best day of your life. Say something like "I'm having a great day" or "It's getting better and better".
   • Pretending to be in a good mood can make it a reality. After spending almost an hour smiling and talking about how great your day is, you will gradually realize that you are really having a great day. In fact, studies have shown that faking a smile and adjusting to your facial expressions can lead to the positive changes that a real smile can bring. For example, holding a pencil across your mouth will activate the muscles on your cheeks, making you feel calmer and happier.

3. 

   
   
   Learn how to appreciate hidden values. Sometimes you may be ignoring the good side of life because you are too focused on external flashy things like cars, looks, or homes. These may be just fleeting values. Wealth can be lost at any time. However, love, honor, integrity, and honesty will endure. Learn to appreciate your natural beauty, goodness, true friendship, and family.
   • Make a list of your strengths and those around you. Trustworthiness and compassion are all good qualities that can be ignored. Recognize the things you value about yourself and those around you, then work to see when you and others display those qualities.
   • Try to praise others for their virtues rather than appearances or possessions (you can still do that, but add compliments of good qualities). Tell a friend, “I really appreciate that you are a trustworthy and honest friend. Even if our views are different, I can still be completely open and straightforward with you. Thank you very much. "

4. 

   
   
   Change your monologues. What you feel about yourself and your life becomes the monologue in your mind. These monologues can help you, and they can also destroy you. Positive monologue increases your confidence, boosts productivity, and makes your mood happier. On the contrary, negative monologue leads to a vicious cycle of despair, anxiety, and self-esteem damage. Follow these instructions to change your monologue:
   • Be careful with your thoughts. Ask yourself, do they make you feel better or worse?
   • When you notice a negative thought, try to turn it into a positive statement. For example, thoughts like “I'm so useless. I'll never get the job I love. " They are very negative and will inhibit your future growth and opportunities. Let's turn these sentences into more positive and full of hope sentences like: “I have a lot of talent. I have to find jobs that can help me further develop those talents. ”
   • Talk to yourself like a close friend. You will never despise or criticize your friends. You will show them kindness and awaken good qualities that they are ignoring. Treat yourself like that.

Part 2 of 3: Learn not to compare yourself to others

1. 

   Reflect on the positives about you. When you compare your life with others, you are lowering your own worth. Comparisons are what makes you lose your joy. And you will never feel your life is wonderful if you judge your success by the measure of others. There are always people smarter, faster, and richer than you. However, in this world friend is still unique. Take time to realize the great things you have done for those around you.
   • After considering your strengths, write them down on a small piece of paper. Stick a few pieces on the mirror so you can see them as you prepare each morning. Put a piece in your wallet and car sunshade. Think of them as little reminders that you must follow.
   • If you find it difficult to find your strengths, try a self-discovery activity to find them. Grab a pen and paper, think about your beautiful memories for a few minutes. Think about what you did and how well you showed off. Consider the activities and plans you enjoy the most. Those are things that show your strengths.

2. 

   Stop praising famous people. When you compare your life to the lives and lifestyles of others, it becomes easier to fall into thinking that they are better than you. First, it's unrealistic to compare your life with other people, second, you have absolutely no idea what their life is like behind their glamor and compliments. The flashiness of the outside can cover up great pain, debt, anger, disappointment, loss, sadness, and other unknowable things.

3. 

   Realize that no one is perfect. Everyone has a good side and a bad side. When you find yourself focusing too much on your flaws and overestimating the strengths of others, you need to stop and consider reality. Notice your monologue and listen carefully to what you are saying to yourself. Stop thinking negative and irrational like "Everyone has nice clothes except me." If you look around closely, you will definitely find exceptions for such things.

4. 

   Enrich your life. One reason you may feel dissatisfied with your life is that you have not used up your talents and talents. Find ways to make your life meaningful. For example, if you enjoy writing music, ask to perform for a local or nonprofit organization.
   • On the contrary, you may not feel satisfied with your life because you haven't had a challenge yet. Think of ways you can challenge your life, whether it's learning a new language, starting a new hobby, or teaching others skills you already master.
   • In addition to helping to challenge yourself, hobbies also help you strengthen your social relationships, boost your self-esteem and abilities.

Part 3 of 3: Developing gratitude

1. 

   Cultivate gratitude. Most people who have always found themselves useless lack gratitude. If you can look out into the world, and realize how happy you are, your life will be much more precious. If you didn't have a serious illness, and today you have something to eat, a bed to sleep on, you would be happier than 70% of people around the world.
   • Start a gratitude journal or download an app on your phone to keep a regular log of what you are grateful for.Do this regularly to see all the positives in your life.

2. 

   Recognize small but meaningful moments in your life. Think about times when you felt energetic and meaningful. It could be a time when you help a friend get through a difficult time, or it could be a time when you make someone feel special and loved. Relive the emotions you had during those moments. Understand that there are many meaningful things going on in your life that can demonstrate your worth.

3. 

   Understand that family is extremely important. If you don't have a family, you should appreciate the close friendships you have. If you have children, spouses, parents, sisters or friends, you are an extremely lucky person. Research has shown that people who don't have a lot of social relationships are up to 50% more likely to die sooner.
   • Maintaining good relationships with family and friends is an integral part of your long-term health so do things that can help strengthen these relationships. Let your friends and family know how much you love them and how important they are in your life.

4. 

   Helping others. Nothing makes you feel as valued, necessary and important as volunteering to help and support those in more difficult circumstances than you. Help the elderly, teach at a children's center, donate food to the homeless, help build a house for others (House of Love), or collect toys for orphans and the occasion Christmas.
   • Volunteering will help you: release stress, exercise your abilities, improve your immune system and make change in your community.
