Awesome article especially when you tell about countries about IKEA stores & nobel prize winners, really relatable.

The question is, how to remove happiness anxiety, of course the first step is being aware & write down, asking yourself the question why. But is that it? Or by the time we write it it will decrease the intensity of anxiety? I’m really curious to know.

Anyway, great article. Cheers!

In reply to KC. Thanks for sharing your experience KC! I understand where you're coming from. It's like we feel guilty for feeling happy? As if we don't deserve the good that's around us. Well, it turns out everyone deserves to be happy. Being happy is a great way to share happiness with others as well. If there's no real reason for unhappiness, just focus on the beautiful days and happy moments. :)

Thank you for this. I recently have become obsessed with the idea that because I‘ve been so healthy and happy (after being plagued with chronic pain and illness for years), surely that will be taken away from me as a punishment for not being a good-enough person. My health anxiety came back and I started thinking of my risk factors for everything, instead of just enjoying these beautiful days. I’m a work in progress. I’m glad someone understands this thought process.
