Counseling for Increasing Happiness—Therapists in Marietta, GA

Yes, happiness is like a muscle. Everyone has a base level of strength, and anyone can grow stronger. Same with happiness: people can increase how much happiness they feel. The question is how? How do people separate clickbait suggestions from emotional habits that boost happiness? Many people are turning to mental health professionals for help.

The counselors at Thriveworks Marietta offer increasing happiness help, and they are seeing many clients who are ready to prioritize their happiness. We love watching our clients experience a more joyful, satisfied life.

Taking Control of Happy Feelings

All too often, people base their joy off of events or actions that are outside of their control. Their happiness follows one of two formulas: unfavorable outcome=negative feelings, favorable outcome=happy feelings. Take, for example, the following scenarios:

  • Your team’s overtime loss puts a damper on your whole week.
  • A bonus from work makes your month.
  • A random, inconsiderate text from your mom ruins a fun night out with friends.

There are innumerable scenarios that could be listed, but the underlying principle is the same: things outside of people’s control determines whether they feel happiness or not.

Other people and life events certain play a part in happiness, but they are not the main characters—they are supporting actors. The most important role belongs to each individual. When people learn to draw happiness from within themselves and from places where they have a measure of control, they often increase the joy they feel. Here is how…

Promoting Positive Emotional Habits

Sustainable, resilient happiness requires forming new, positive emotional habits. Therapists can guide people toward the exercises that build up happiness. Examples of such exercises may include:

  • Setting a goal – Looking toward the future for a personal or professional goal can bring anticipation, excitement, and focus into people’s daily life.
  • Practicing mindfulness – Feel feelings; think thoughts; notice sensations. Pay attention to the here and now without labels and without judgment.
  • Changing one’s mindset – Every scenario in life has opportunity, and people can reframe events to see it. Soon, they are seeing more and more opportunities they had previously missed.
  • Promoting thankfulness – Gratitude is closely tied to happiness. Taking time each day to say, “thanks,” or to write down what went well means people are focusing their attention on the good, beautiful, and true things in the world.

People cannot control much that happens in this world, but when they accept responsibility for what they can control, they can cultivate an emotional environment where happiness blossoms. As people draw happiness from sources within their control, the joy they feel remains relatively stable even as life has its normal ups and downs.

Having him as an unbiased, professional ear to listen to my situations has proven to be invaluable. So, many people in my life have tried to convince me to act in their interest and not my own.
