Were You Born Sad?


Do you feel that other people seem happier? Do you often wonder if other people have the key to being happy or possess an ability to be and experience happiness that you do not? Perhaps you may even feel like you were wired differently and born with an innate sadness that keeps you from being as happy as others.
Unhappiness is a natural part of life that everyone experiences. But if you feel that you may feel more sadness more often and deeply, there are practices you can explore to help shift your experience and foster more moments of happiness.
By exploring and acknowledging your unhappiness, you can reduce its power. This awareness and acceptance can free you from labels like “depression,” and lead you to think about your sadness differently, to embrace it as an integral part of who you are as a person and feel happier through that process.
