What Is Happiness Anxiety?

Overview

Have you ever wondered why change is so hard? Even changes you had planned for and have been working toward, such as graduating from college, striking out on your own, landing a big promotion, getting married, and starting your own business. Experiencing anxiety, even when life is good, is more common than you might think. It can be confusing because you tell yourself, “I’m happy. How can I be anxious?”

Anxiety doesn’t know what your circumstances are, nor does it wait for the “right” time to show up. Humans are creatures of habit. We crave familiar routines and habits. When we stretch beyond our comfort zones, it can trigger our fear and anxiety symptoms.

We tend to look at change as one big event. Change doesn’t work like that; change is a process. We make a series of decisions, we move toward new circumstances, we bring new people into our lives; these adjustments can have a cumulative effect on us. Eventually, there can be a price to pay for all the change. Change can lead to various symptoms of anxiety, including discomfort, uncertainty, worry, sleep disturbances, mood fluctuations, and other related issues. Transitioning into a new phase of life means stepping into unfamiliar territory.

What is Happiness Anxiety?

Happiness anxiety is a type of anxiousness you would feel when success is within reach. You are about to fulfill a long-awaited goal, realize success in your career, or experience something joyful. Life is good; things are working out just like you dreamed. And suddenly, you feel panicked. You feel like running away or the opposite—you feel frozen, trapped. The fear creeps up on you and takes over. Anxiety and fear might lead you to isolate yourself.

Where do these paradoxical feelings come from?

Happiness is unknown to many people. The feeling of things going their way is foreign. Achieving a goal or realizing a dream and the subsequent sense of joy can cause anxiety and may be overwhelming for them. Happiness can make them feel vulnerable. Vulnerability can lead to feelings of being unsafe, especially for individuals who have experienced some form of trauma or for those who have had to overcome adversity to carve out their place in the world. Under these circumstances, people can become almost afraid of happiness because it feels scary and new.

Others may become preoccupied with the pursuit of happiness. The need to “be happy” can lead to feelings of pressure, worry, and even guilt when they aren’t experiencing happiness. They may become obsessed with planning or goal-setting to make themselves happy. Happiness should be a by-product of our efforts. Happiness isn’t meant to be the goal. By making happiness the goal, we are trying to hit an ever-moving target, which will inevitably lead to feelings of stress and burnout.

People often do not fear success in and of itself. What they fear is the cost of becoming successful. We might call this “The Cost of Doing Business”. To succeed, one must be willing to set and achieve goals. It means making sacrifices and enduring losses. For some, the price is just too high.

We expect success to make us happy, but sometimes, we associate success with fear. When someone associates success with fear, they may hesitate to push themselves out of their comfort zone. Fear can be a natural response to the unknown; feeling anxious when trying something new is shared. The problem arises when fear begins to limit one from exploring new growth opportunities.

Success is subjective. It means different things to different people. It is important not to focus on the external markers of success, such as status or wealth. One must acknowledge limiting beliefs and any underlying fears holding you back. Defining success on your terms instead of comparing yourself to other people may help reduce feelings of stress and anxiety.

 Reasons why achieving success causes unhappiness in some:

People may feel unhappy after achieving success or reaching a goal for several reasons:

Arrival Fallacy: The idea or, more accurately, the illusion that reaching some more significant endpoint will lead to long-term happiness. You got the promotion, landed the account, and felt so proud. But after the excitement wears off and the reality of life sinks in, what now? Where do you go from here?

Unfortunately, achievement doesn’t equal happiness. We believe we are successful when we achieve our dreams and goals; the expectation of success for future goals triggers your brain’s reward centers. Your brain produces chemicals that soothe you. The feeling you get from succeeding continues to give you that hit from those mood-boosting chemicals. But over time, your brain adjusts. So when you meet your goal, it is less satisfying than expected.

There is a simple solution to avoid falling into this trap: Instead of putting all your eggs into one basket, set a series of goals. Constantly challenge yourself to achieve the next higher level or reach an even brighter future.

Anti-climax: We can be so focused on the excitement of achieving that once we reach the finish line, get the reward, or receive the accolade, it is underwhelming.

Unrealistic expectations: Focusing only on the goal, without considering the result, can lead to disappointment or unexpected outcomes. For example, you set your sights on a big promotion. You have been waiting for this opportunity for years, you deserve it, the bump in pay will be life changing. You land the promotion! The position is nothing like you expected. The demands are overwhelming, they expect you to be available 24/7, if this is management they can have it. Have you researched and asked questions before throwing your hat in the ring? You might have adjusted your goal toward a different position that would have fit your personal lifestyle and professional goals.

Comparison Fallacy: The Comparison Fallacy assumes that it is possible to accurately and usefully compare one’s skills, priorities, and goals.

It is important to remember we are not other people, and other people are not us. We tend to fixate on the accomplishments of different people. There is no upside to comparing ourselves to what others can achieve. We can’t know their sacrifices to reach their goals or the obstacles they have overcome. Ultimately, what matters are the things that are in your control. Are you focusing on your goals?

Are you doing something you enjoy? Do you surround yourself with people that enrich your life? Keeping focus on your goals and your progress are the only things in your control.

Fear of Failure:

The fear of failure is multifaceted. When we seek to achieve personally meaningful goals, we may feel threatened by the idea of adverse consequences. People who fear failure tend to be perfectionists or have perfectionistic tendencies. The concept of failure is closely tied to the fear of experiencing shame and embarrassment. The fear of having performance evaluations is difficult for a person with perfectionistic tendencies.

There has been a strong correlation between procrastination and a fear of failure.

The fear of failure causes extreme anxiety. Perfectionists equate performance with self-worth. It is essential to remind oneself that there is no growth without failure—no learning, no development, no new experiences.

Five ways to overcome the fear of failure:

  1. Develop a growth mindset
  2. Build your failure muscle in a safe space
  3. Recall successful people who failed many times before they were successful
  4. Watch a toddler as they learn to walk–they fail over and over before they succeed
  5. Practice viewing failures as your teachers instead of indulging in self-recrimination

How to Cope with Happiness Anxiety

Happiness anxiety can be exhausting. You might not understand your feelings and maybe frustrated about why you can’t accept the good things in your life. It is possible to want success and still feel happiness and anxiety after you find it. The phenomenon is real. If you cannot find healthy coping methods, it can steal the joy from life’s most momentous occasions. The good news is that there are effective ways to manage your happiness and anxiety.

Engage in self-care

Self-care is essential to maintaining balance and happiness in life. It involves taking care of your physical, mental, and emotional health. When you are dealing with anxiety, self-care becomes even more critical because it reinforces the idea that you are worthy and deserving of good things.

  • Create a routine that promotes a healthy lifestyle
  • Do things you love
  • Set boundaries – protect your time, your energy, and your spirit.
  • Practice mindfulness – Mindfulness is the practice of being in the moment. It can help you learn to recognize the good in life and focus on gratitude so you can let go of whatever is causing you anxiety.

Tips for practicing mindfulness:

  • Use mindfulness exercises — Meditation or breathing exercises for anxiety can calm the mind and alleviate symptoms
  • Stay grounded and present—Learning to stay in the moment can be helpful, especially if your anxiety about happiness comes from a fear of loss. Try not to worry about the “what ifs.”
  •  Identify and label feelings—Sometimes, it is helpful to acknowledge your emotions as they arise. Remembering the phrase “feelings aren’t forever” can also be beneficial. This premise offers perspective and can help reduce the intensity of your anxiety.

Lean on Support

A support system ensures a safe space to share your feelings and get advice. It can play a significant role in your ability to manage and overcome happiness anxiety.

Tips for finding support 

  • Joining a support group — A support group of like-minded people can help remind you that you deserve to be happy when you don’t believe you are.
  • Don’t isolate — Engaging with others keeps you grounded and connected.
  • Find an accountability partner — An understanding person who has experienced something similar can offer empathy and advice as you navigate anxiety.

Challenge negative thoughts

Negative thoughts can quickly become embedded beliefs — even when those beliefs are untrue or unhealthy. Believing you don’t have the right to be happy or that your happiness is at risk is harmful to your mental health, which is why it is imperative to challenge negative thought patterns.

Tips on challenging negative thoughts:

  • Identify thought patterns that are unhealthy, unhelpful, or untrue.
  • During what should be happy times, see if you can catch yourself thinking things like, “This won’t last,” or “I don’t deserve to be happy.”
  • Shift your perspective; instead of focusing on your happiness anxiety, focus on your hard work.
  • Practice positive affirmations. Research shows that positive affirmations can reduce anxiety and can help us reframe negative thoughts.

Get professional help:

Suppose happiness anxiety is impacting your life and overall well-being. It might be time to talk to a professional. A life coach may be able to help you develop an action plan to help you find coping tools and strategies to improve your quality of life. A therapist may be able to help you uncover the root of your happiness anxiety by discovering the past issues or the trauma that may be keeping you from reaching your potential.

Transitions: What Are They And How Do We Navigate Them

“All humans change. Development is our life, and labor is the most painful time. Without change, there’s no growth.”

—Mimi Kennedy

What is the difference between change and transition? Change is an external event or situation, while transition is the internal psychological process of adapting to and coming to terms with that change.

Overview

Change is one constant we can count on in life. Change can be the exciting prospect of graduating from college, the anticipated arrival of a new baby, the jolting news of getting laid off, or the heartache of a relationship ending. Human beings are creatures of habit. Even when the change is planned for, anticipated, or celebrated, change is a disruption. Disruptions to our routines and carefully choreographed lives leave us feeling overwhelmed, disoriented, and anxious. How you cope can have a lasting impact on your emotional well-being, your ability to adjust to your new circumstances, and to move forward into a positive future.

Understanding the process of personal transition is key. Transition is the psychological and emotional journey that you go through when you experience change. Once you know and understand the different stages of this journey and what each stage entails, you will be better able to manage your change process.

Transitions

Faced with a new reality, people naturally look for ways to orient themselves around change and understand what it means. The awareness that we are entering a time of transition is enough for the process to begin. It is common to spend time reevaluating our values and beliefs to remind ourselves of who we are and who we want to be in the world. Transitions are an opportunity to leave behind parts of ourselves we have outgrown or to leave situations that no longer represent the person we have become.

William Bridges is one of the most widely respected autors on the subject of transitions, he defines transitions as: “the process of letting go of the way things used to be and taking hold of the way they subsequently become.” While that may sound simple enough, in reality, the process can be challenging. We can struggle with what is called “identity paralysis”- a feeling of being stuck in an old version of yourself when, in fact, timing and circumstances dictate that you move on.

Letting go is hard. Our identity doesn’t allow us to just continue to layer a new identity onto our existing identity. We must go through an undoing. It is necessary to tear down who we used to be to become the person we are becoming. I owned a small business for 25 years. I was ready to sell the business and move into a new phase of life. I anticipated the change to be freeing and full of adventure. I did not anticipate the shifting ground beneath my feet. I was caught unprepared for how I had constructed my identity around being my own boss and isolated myself from forming meaningful relationships with other managers and leaders. I had to find a whole new sense of self and a whole new way of being confident in the world.

Three Stages of Transition

Let us look at the three stages of transition a little more closely.

An Ending

Endings represent a symbolic death. We must let go of the person we were to create space for the person we are becoming. If this sounds scary, it can be, but it can also be liberating. Shedding the old can be uncomfortable. It stretches us, and we grow and emerge as we take advantage of what transitions offer toward our personal and professional transformation.

The Bridges’ research identifies five key phases of endings:

  1. Disengagement: the systems in place to support our identity have ceased. Things like being part of college life, moving to a new town away from our supports, changing jobs, and having new responsibilities.

 

  1. Dismantling: Disconnecting from these systems allows us to unpack our previous identity. The dismantling process is necessary for individuals to feel a sense of individuality rather than being part of a collective group.

 

  1. Disidentification: As we dismantle and disengage, we will begin to stop defining ourselves through the roles, titles, and responsibilities we used to have. If we move through the process correctly, we will start losing a sense of who we are.

 

  1. Disenchantment: We begin to wrestle with our assumptions about reality and accept our role in creating the specific version we have been inhabiting. There is a disconcerting feeling that there is more going on beneath the surface than we had been willing to admit.

 

  1. Disorientation: We are unsure of the direction forward or backward. This is the doorway to the neutral zone.

 

Endings can trigger past pain. This can be particularly true if we have done a respectable job of compartmentalizing and suppressing past trauma. Do not be surprised if you experience this. It is a common experience. You are not alone. Friends, family, therapists, a pastor, or a coach can provide support during this time.

The Neutral Zone

The neutral zone is a liminal space, an emptiness between ending and beginning. Liminal spaces are transitional areas we pass through, existing between two places. The liminal space provides a pause between the old identity and a new one. These spaces often evoke unease because they are not meant for staying but rather for passing through. Liminal spaces are transitional or intermediate places or states, like waiting rooms, hallways, elevators, train stations, airports, or the in-between period of adolescence. Liminal spaces are characterized by being neither fully one thing nor another. The word liminal comes from the Latin word ‘limen,’ which means threshold.

Is it any wonder that neutral zones make us feel vulnerable and aimless mentally? But if we can allow ourselves to, we can tap into new levels of consciousness. We can see the world differently and connect to a deeper sense of purpose. The neutral zone is necessary to prune away old identities and prepare the ground for new growth.

The New Beginning

The problem with models is the illusion of simplicity. We experience change, and we transition in an almost ceaseless cycle. We learn about change as children through the seasons: winter, spring, summer, and fall. We barely notice the change from grade to grade during our formative years. We experience changes that cause momentary angst. We feel the disconcerting emotional transition process, but when the situation irons itself out, we barely notice and move on. The problem arises when we experience a change in our lives that causes us to question our identity. Suddenly, that seamless cycle of ending, neutral zone, and a new beginning isn’t nearly seamless. The ending feels scary, uncertain, unwelcome, unfair, you feel undone, how do you move on from here?

The neutral zone is anything but neutral. Some days, you question whether you are sane. The liminal space is brutal. It makes you question the past, the decisions you made, the relationships you had, and the beliefs you held. It causes you to look into the future. Where am I going? Who am I becoming?

The beginning takes bravery, which you do not know if you possess. It is discovering. And it is okay to make a mistake because you are still ending and still becoming. This beginning might be your first in a series of beginnings. Be gentle with yourself. You are a warrior.

A Transition Checklist

  1. Take your time. The outer circumstances of our lives can change in an instant. It does not mean that your commitments, either to the old situation or the new situation you have not yet invested in, will be temporary. You cannot rush the inner process under which this condition will work.
  2. Build your support system. Seek the support of family and friends. If you feel overwhelmed, talk to your pastor, a counselor, or a coach.
  3. Do not act for the sake of action. Resist the temptation to move out of a desire to do something-anything!
  4. Recognize why you are feeling uncomfortable. Humans do not like to be in a state of disequilibrium; it is undesirable, but that does not make it bad. Work through the discomfort. Find one thing you can control to help you feel less anxious.
  5. Keep goals S.M.A.R.T. small, manageable, achievable, relevant, and time-sensitive.
  6. Care for yourself in small ways. Get enough sleep. Eat balanced meals. Make sure you are getting exercise. Go walks. Try meditation or mindfulness techniques. Get out in nature.
  7. Acknowledge what you are leaving behind. Let go of the past to make room for the future.

 

 

An Introduction to Values

An Introduction to Values

“Your beliefs become your thoughts. Your thoughts become your words. Your words become your actions. Your actions become your habits. Your habits become your values. Your values become your destiny.” ~Mahatma Gandhi~

What Are Values?

Values are the fundamental beliefs that govern our lives. They inspire how we act and speak, guide our decisions about everything from career to personal growth, and embody the person we become. They influence how we treat others and interact with the world. Values are the core of who we are.

There are two types of values: personal values and cultural values. Personal values are our beliefs about right and wrong. They belong to us personally and shape how we look at the world. Cultural values are norms accepted by the societies in which we grow up. These values vary by place and context, but their effects on our lives can be as powerful as personal values.

How our values are defined depends on our feelings and sentiments about ourselves and the world around us. Personal values can be positive and lead to self-esteem and fulfillment. They can also be damaging and based on limiting beliefs. These values can cause problems in relationships and our overall interactions with the broader world.

 Examples of Cultural Values 

          • Collaboration

          • Integrity

          • Agility

          • Diversity

          • Customer Orientation

          • Execution

          • Innovation

          • Performance

          • Respect

Examples of Personal Values

          • Integrity

          • Empathy

          • Resilience

          • Authenticity

          • Gratitude

          • Open-mindedness

          • Responsibility

          • Compassion

          • Fairness

          • Lifelong learning

Formation and Reinforcement of Values:

Values come from deliberate actions. Think of a small child saying, “I can do it!” The child does not just want the result; they want to prove that they can achieve it through their own effort.

Efficacy is a profound rational value understood through self-awareness. Understanding efficacy helps a child realize it will meet any future needs. After the child grasps the benefit of his efficacy, he will have emotions about those feelings.

We feel pride when we succeed through our efforts and see the result. Once we have enough experience to predict success, we build confidence. These two pleasurable emotions reward your growing capacity to develop values in the world. Having efficacy determines whether you are a pawn of external forces or the captain of your fate.

Values are established and reinforced through daily actions. When you have a desired objective, you maintain it as a goal, take action to attain it in the present, and frequently succeed in achieving it. The value is set. Three mechanisms form and reinforce the value.

  1. A Value-Oriented Reason: If you choose your purpose because it is a means of achieving some valuable end, you establish the named purpose as valuable and reinforce the value of the longer-range end.

  2. Self-Generated Action: Acting to achieve the purpose reinforces its value by linking it with self-generated action.

  3. Observed Success: The pleasure you get from your efficacy increases the pleasure you get from gaining the value, reinforcing it as a value.

By the time you reach adulthood, you have formed thousands of values through purposeful action. They are all interrelated in one way or another.

How Values Become Distorted or Weakened:

Values form when we are successful. What happens when the family we are born into does not set us up for success? What happens when we fail? Won’t those difficult circumstances and those painful feelings undermine the value-forming process? Instead of feeling pride and confidence, there will be feelings of frustration and/or guilt that can undermine the value-forming process and sap motivation. The child may associate unpleasant feelings with the process and develop an aversion (i.e., conflict) for the same object. This ambivalence toward your values is the source of a vast array of motivational problems.

Failure is a reality we will face in life. We will make mistakes. We will experience setbacks. We must learn to manage these inevitable life lessons with resilience and develop coping strategies to resolve such conflicts.

Another option open to us is not to act. Action is a choice. You can make the decision not to gain a value. In practice, you are choosing one value over another, or can you choose to strengthen one value over another? You decide to date one person over another. You choose to go to this college over that college—absent other factors when you choose one value over another. Strengthening the chosen value weakens the rejected value.

Two other key cases must be considered. First, not all purposeful action is aimed at achieving a value. Sometimes, an action is chosen to avoid a threat, not to gain a value. When you decide to avoid a threat instead of gaining value, the threat becomes your focus. When avoiding threats becomes your focus, the threat takes on a larger significance in your mind and can become an object of permanent fear comparable to a value. We might think of this as an anti-value. Anti-values create massive conflict in significant areas of your life and can paralyze you.

Second, not all actions are purposeful. You initiate purposeful actions, which are deliberate. If you do not make the effort, you are reacting unthinkingly to the events around you without identifying values or keeping any defined purpose in mind.

The world is constantly changing around you. You must monitor your routines so that they stay goal-directed. Make small adjustments to ensure that your habits stay pointed toward your values. Without vigilance, you can easily slip into default mode and onto the easier path—the path of less resistance, where you can avoid anything new or scary. This path is the path our emotions will choose if given the lead because it feels good.

Relying on feelings can create a gap between your conscious values and those programmed in your subconscious.

Threat-based emotions tend to be more intense than value-based ones because they alert individuals to emergencies. That means that over time, threat-based motivation comes to dominate your life.

Your Value Hierarchy:

Values are the fundamental cause of all emotions. The emotional system highlights value-related issues. Emotions can be thought of as alerts to opportunities to gain a value and/or threats to a value that may warrant attention.

You have thousands of values. What factors contribute to the activation of a specific emotion? To understand this, you must understand that values exist in a structure. They are related to one another. This structure is a value hierarchy. Your value hierarchy is stable at a given time. Your value hierarchy evolves over time because of your experiences and every choice you have made. You have formed values and connections between the values, which may be loose or systematic, accidental, or intentional.

When you understand this, you can see that every emotion you have is based on a history of past experiences and choices. Your emotional makeup reflects an organizational pattern. This knowledge is powerful. You have a choice in the programming of future motivation.

In Conclusion:

We begin to form values as infants—our very first values form by meeting basic biological needs. The baby is hungry; the mother holds the bottle to his mouth, triggering a sucking reflex. The bottle becomes associated in the baby’s mind with meeting a need and the experience of pleasure. Eventually, a hungry baby will recognize and desire a bottle when someone is holding it.

The bottle has become a psychological value. The baby desires the bottle because it has satisfied his hunger in the past. If he is hungry, getting the bottle will bring him a feeling of satisfaction even before he starts to drink. Losing the bottle will bring dissatisfaction.

These basic forms of satisfaction and dissatisfaction have names. We call them emotions. Joy is the feeling you have when you gain a value. Grief is what you feel when you lose one. Desire is what you feel when you see a value; your action can help you achieve it.

The process of forming our value system happens without us giving it any thought. We become who we are through our experiences and by being part of the culture we live in. Our values become part of what makes us who we are through the family we are raised in, the neighborhood we live in, the schools we attend, the faith we practice, the color of our skin, our gender, who we love, and who we emulate.

If you are like me, you never thought about your values. The idea of what you believe or why you believe it never reached the top of your list of important things to explore.

Most people don’t think about their values until life hands them a circumstance that makes them slow down or STOP and become introspective. Our values are the fundamental component of our psychological makeup and our identity.

I had a seismic event after a graduation party for my cousin’s daughter. I had felt warning tremors before then but was not ready to think about what they might mean. Throughout my childhood and into adulthood, my maternal aunts, uncles, and cousins had been an integral part of my identity. We were a close bunch who spent every Sunday and holiday together at my grandparents’ house. Over time, things changed; my grandparents passed away, my mom passed, and our families increased in number as we all married and had children. There were those in the family who stayed close, and I longed to be part of that group. When I attended family functions, I found myself increasingly on the outside looking in. I left those occasions feeling hurt and confused.

During the graduation party, not only did I feel distant from the people who had been so important to me all my life, I felt like a stranger. Earlier, I mentioned that I had felt the warning signs. I can see I have changed. The experience was disorienting and upsetting for me. I did not understand that my value hierarchy had evolved. It felt like something had happened to me. I mistakenly believed my extended family had rejected me. Having gained an understanding of how values form and can change based on experiences and our choices, I have realized that my values have changed and evolved, as have the values of my family members. Knowing how values form and how they change has made me feel powerful. I do not feel like a victim, nor do I have to hold the people whom I had loved in contempt. I can be objective. Life is a process of change and growth.
