Want To Be Happy? Give Up These 10 Things.

Most of us are on the constant search for happiness in life. Though we might be able to find some happiness that lasts for a little while in food, shopping, and people, it is never truly permanent.

The only way to be genuinely happy is to stop searching for joy in material goods. Instead, start by making the important changes to your habits listed below.

1. Give up those toxic relationships right away.

Not all relationships that have conflict are necessarily toxic. Sometimes issues will come up that will need to be talked through and processed for both people to be able to move on and continue in a healthy way.

However, there are relationships that can be so toxic that remaining friends or romantically involved will only bring you heartache and harm. If someone is continually at odds with you and keeping you from reaching your full potential, it is time to part ways so that you both can live your lives with joy.

Please make sure to seek out help if you are in any type of abusive relationship.
