The psychologist explained the habit of postponing happiness for the future

People often mistake the reason for happiness, believing that its source lies in external circumstances: a new job, an expensive purchase, or a trip to a tropical island. Alena Boryesson, a certified coach and researcher in the field of psychology and self-development, told about this on Tuesday, November 11.

"If you and I return to the fact that happiness is an inner story, a state that we feel on an emotional level, we will understand that a certain circumstance or thing alone will not create it for us. Otherwise, you and I would all feel happy being in a certain location or touching a certain object," she explained in an interview with Radio 1.

According to the expert, the beauty of this realization is that happiness becomes available here and now. You can start experiencing this emotion today by working with your mindset.

"Realizing the inner nature of happiness does not negate ambitions, but makes us freer. If you realize that the source of this condition has always been inside, and you can recreate it for yourself, even without Maldives or expensive purchases, then this is freedom inside you and different possibilities," the psychologist explained.

She added that you need to stop making your emotional state hostage to achieving your goals.
