Take responsibility for your own happiness from "summary" of The Passion Trap: How to Right an Unbalanced Relationship by Dean C. Delis
In any relationship, it is easy to fall into the trap of relying on the other person to make you happy. This can create a sense of imbalance and dependency that is not healthy for either party. It is important to remember that happiness is not something that can be given or taken away by someone else. It is something that comes from within, and each individual is responsible for their own happiness. Taking responsibility for your own happiness means recognizing that you have the power to create the life you want. It means being proactive in seeking out the things that bring you joy and fulfillment, rather than waiting for someone else to provide them for you. This can be a challenging concept to grasp, especially if you have become accustomed to relying on others for your emotional well-being. One key aspect of taking responsibility for your own happiness is learning to prioritize self-care. This means taking the time to engage in activities that nourish your mind, body, and spirit. It could be as simple as going for a walk in nature, practicing meditation, or spending time with loved ones. By making self-care a priority, you are sending a powerful message to yourself and others that your happiness is important. Another important aspect of taking responsibility for your own happiness is setting boundaries in your relationships. This means being clear about what you need and expect from others, and being willing to communicate those needs openly and honestly. By setting boundaries, you are taking control of your own happiness and ensuring that your needs are being met.- Taking responsibility for your own happiness is about empowering yourself to live a fulfilling and meaningful life. It is about recognizing that you are worthy of love and happiness, and that you have the power to create a life that reflects that belief. By taking ownership of your own happiness, you are setting yourself up for a more balanced and harmonious relationship with yourself and others.
