The Journey to Contentment with Dissociative Identity Disorder
Contentment must be learned
In this world we inhabit, there are stresses and pain that can cloud our ability to be content. Instead, we find ourselves caught in a repeating pattern of hope and disillusionment.
This article will focus on contentment, what it is, and how to achieve it.
What is Contentment?
Unfortunately, in our society, people have lost the ability to be content. Contentment is a deep sense of accepting yourself and your environment at any given moment. It is a fact that we humans don’t notice the happiness we have now. Instead, we are focused on the future and what material wealth we might garner.
True contentment doesn’t come from outer things or circumstances; it comes from within oneself and is independent of external circumstances. We often spend our time chasing happiness thinking, “If I just had that job,” or “If I owned that thing,” etc.
Chasing happiness and contentment nearly always leads to dissatisfaction, disconnection from others, and addiction because we’re chasing that high. Actively cultivating contentment leads to gratitude, calmness, and a better peace of mind.
