This Wednesday: 10 common happiness mistakes.
To delay to do something important until you have some “free time,” because you may never have any free time

To retreat into isolation when you’re unhappy

To neglect to make a small change because you think a big change is necessary

To refuse to consider a big change because you assume you can only make a small change

To “treat” yourself to something you wouldn’t ordinarily permit yourself, because you’re feeling blue

To postpone something important until you’re feeling healthier, or thinner, or married, or whatever

To think that you can “make” someone else be happy

To imagine that what’s true for other people is true for you

To spend too much time, or not enough time, thinking about the past, present, or future

To ignore the truth about your own temperament, interests, and aptitudes
