7 Signs Your Mind is Not Letting You Be Happy

Seven signs your mind is not letting you

be happy. You can't enjoy good moments

fully. Even when something nice happens,

your mind jumps to But what if something

goes wrong next? You replay past

mistakes like broken tape, things you

said, things you didn't say. Your mind

won't let you move on even if it has

been years. You assume the worst always.

If someone doesn't reply, they hate me.

Plans get cancelled. Nobody wants me.

You fill in the blanks with fear. You

compare constantly. Your mind makes

someone else's success feel like your

failure. You talk to yourself like an

enemy. You say things to yourself you'd

never say to a friend. Stupid, lazy, not

enough. You feel guilty for resting or

being happy, like you need to suffer to

be worthy. You predict the future like a

disaster movie. Your brain rehearses

pain that hasn't even happened and you

live in it before life has even thrown

it at you. If you are experiencing this,

know this. Your mind isn't the enemy.

It's just scared and it is trying to

protect you the only way it knows.

Notice the voice, but don't believe

everything it says. Awareness is the

first step towards healing.
