Jung’s Five Pillars of a Good Life
Carl Jung had five pillars of happiness. “Beyond the scientific research that supports this strategy, we also have the evidence of its effectiveness in the example of Jung’s life. He made his list to mark his 85th birthday, which was to be the last one he celebrated. By all accounts, he made progress toward happiness over his life, had a long and devoted marriage, died surrounded by the people he loved, and was satisfied that he had used his abilities in a meaningful way that served others. In this world, that sounds pretty good to me”. Here they are: Jung’s Five Pillars of a Good Life

Let Go of the Things that no Longer Serve You
In order to better our life, we need to let go of the things that no longer serve us. When we begin to let go of the things that no longer serve us, it’s like metaphorically cleaning house. When we clean house in our life, we start by letting go of people who no longer add to our quality of life. The majority of our relationships shift in nature and aren’t the same as they began. We may have a close friend that becomes more of an acquaintance and an acquaintance may turn into a close friend. Another aspect of cleaning house it letting go of our old ways of thinking. Old ways of thinking are usually made up of of thoughts that hold us back, limiting thoughts, limiting language, and our unique negative broken record based on family and pass limiting teachings and learned limitations. When we clean house we take a personal intiative to better our life, to let go of the things that no longer add to our quality of life, and offers us the room to bring in to our life what we need to positively push forward and succeed.

Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive

This is 2:13 of some of the best mental health advice you can get!
Read the history of the song here: Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive – Wikipedia
PS Basically, what she told me to do was ‘stop it’ which is also great advice…
