| Psychology: Happy people open to changing Posted: 02 Jan 2011 02:44 AM PST A new year is upon us. Here are some suggestions for making 2011 happy and successful: Author Gail Sheehy once said, "If we don't change, we don't grow. If we don't grow, we aren't really living." Coping with transitions is truly a part of living a full life. Periodically step back from your daily routine and look at your life in a larger perspective. Are you really pursuing goals that will make you and those important to you happy? Setting and achieving goals can help you move forward in life. For many, however, satisfaction never really seems to occur, even when the milestones are achieved. These individuals rarely stop and smell the flowers. Instead, they keep thinking that happiness is just over the next hill. Enjoy life one day at a time. Remember that, often, more than half the fun in life is getting there. Don't miss the joy of the process as you race to the finish line. Strive to avoid rigidity and inflexibility by embracing openness, diversity and change. Lifestyles that are governed by tight boundaries, stereotyped roles and an overabundance of rules create a brittle, static existence which is prone to cracking or breaking under stress. You can be flexible and tolerant and also be principled and strong in character. Review priorities frequently. Examine your commitment to relationships and compare this commitment to energy spent acquiring material things and other ego-inflating endeavors. How much time do you spend talking to your spouse, children, friends and other relatives? Positive relationships can build feelings of security and self-esteem that material things cannot permanently fulfill. Decide to set healthy limits and boundaries in relationships. Being able to say no without feeling guilty is an important component of good mental health. Hap LeCrone, a Cox News Service columnist, is a clinical psychologist.
