Quite often I work with people who are very unhappy in their current circumstances... The scope of these people differ, from very well educated, rich, attractive to the opposite of the continuum... Sometimes I am amazed to realise once again that there is a big difference between what we see on the surface (the white picket fence and poodle picture) and really what is happening behind a fancy front door...
I also can't help to wonder how many of life sufferings and unhappiness are not self inflicted and the acceptance of that circumstances to such a point where something breaks... only then we admit that there is a problem and seeking for help...
The following pointers , maybe to use that could enable everyone to spot and address unhappiness sooner and more effectively (based on my experience)...
Always try to improve the knowledge and skills base, learning is a life long process even for older people,
Read a lot...It enhances the basis for interesting topics and discussions...
Get your own pot where you can bloom (even if you don't have to)...The ability to be independent, gives a golden key to freedom...
Surround yourself with people who has a good influence on you... only negative people and 'takers' will take its toll over the long run...
Know what is happening in your area and what support is available... link in with a small group where you feel comfortable, loners find it very difficult to break from 'behind the fancy door circumstances'...
Spent time on your physical health... Our bodies is the vehicle of our souls...
Make the best of your features... We are not all equally pretty, but we need to be pretty for ourselves as that builds self confidence...
Make time to take stock... Regarding the most important aspects of your life... remember, your children will leave the house one day and then the question is ... what is left for you....
Address the little devils before it grows into monsters... speak up even if you need to apply a bit of humour...
Only a couple of thoughts as I once again realised how many unhappy people we have in this amazing world...
