When you're contemplating divorce, it's easy to constantly evaluate your happiness - asking yourself if you're content in your marriage, if leaving would make you happier, or if you'll ever feel fulfilled again. But constantly measuring your happiness can increase your anxiety and leave you feeling stuck in a loop of doubt.
Happiness isn't something you can measure or force; it's a by-product of doing things that bring you joy and fulfillment. If you want to feel more content, you should focus on the actions and experiences that light you up - whether that's reconnecting with your passions, rediscovering yourself, or simply taking time to care for your emotional well-being.
Instead of evaluating your happiness at every turn, focus on living fully in the moments where you feel most like yourself. It's in these moments that true happiness finds you. By shifting your attention away from measuring and toward doing what truly fulfills you, you can gain clarity about what your next steps might be - whether that's in your marriage or on your own.
So, stop trying to calculate your happiness and start exploring activities and choices that bring you joy and peace. You deserve to feel alive and engaged in your life, and that often starts with letting go of the need to measure and just being.
