Understanding yourself is the path to happiness.

Ms. Bui Thi Ha (from Hai Phong ) has always felt that life has been unfair to her. She works incredibly hard, striving far beyond others, but in the eyes of her husband, relatives, and others, she is seen as a woman of no value. Therefore, she constantly has to consider the opinions and attitudes of others in order to survive.

She fears judgment, lacks self-confidence, is shy, and doesn't dare to do things or make decisions on her own in daily life. "I often avoid and hide behind problems, not daring to solve them. Whenever a difficult situation arises, I feel confused, and all I do is stay silent, waiting for something good to happen. I don't dare to stand up and express my thoughts, I don't dare to ask for what I want," Ms. Ha shared.

Ms. Ha's story is just one of hundreds of stories of people who haven't realized they deserve a full, meaningful, and happy life. Fears and limiting beliefs have made them forget themselves, forget that they need to be loved, and forget that they need to live as themselves.

To truly understand happiness and live a meaningful life, approximately 1,500 people from various provinces and cities across the country will participate in the "Creating a New Life - The Path to Happiness" program in Hanoi on October 12-13, 2024.

Ms. Le Ngoc Han (Hai Phong) shared that she previously had many problems with her husband, children, and parents. She was prone to blaming others and refused to take responsibility, so whenever a problem arose, she would blame her husband for not caring enough or her parents for not providing adequate care. Furthermore, whenever she tried to discipline her children, all she heard in the house was shouting and harsh words. Even if the children were right or wrong, she would force them to apologize first without knowing the reason. But after learning about mindfulness, Ms. Han found a way to heal herself and build a harmonious family.

" I realized that everything is my fault; I have to take 100% responsibility for every problem that comes my way. My parents gave me life, and that's already a great blessing, so I shouldn't demand anything in return. I also understood that the way to change my husband and children is to become a better person first. I have to transform myself, I have to become a role model for my husband and children to look up to and change after, rather than expecting them to change or for them to do this or that according to my wishes ," Ms. Han recounted.

According to Nguyen Thi Lanh, a Master of Educational Sciences and senior mental health therapist, each person is born a unique individual, possessing completely different personalities, potentials, and qualities. Therefore, each person will have a different life to explore all that they possess and strive towards a more complete and excellent version of themselves. Everyone has strengths and talents that only they themselves truly understand. Therefore, what needs to be done is to learn to understand oneself and to love oneself again.

"To find happiness, the most important thing is to understand yourself and realize that happiness is always within you. Many people cling to other people's happiness, but the reality is that only when we ourselves are happy can we create a happy life," shared expert Nguyen Thi Lanh.

According to psychologist Nguyen Thi Lanh, what needs to be done is to learn to understand oneself in order to love oneself again.

Furthermore, psychologist Nguyen Thi Lanh believes that self-understanding is also about creating a happier and more accomplished person. This is because it is the journey of "finding oneself." Each person needs to understand why they have become the version of themselves they are today. At the same time, they need methods to heal their inner selves and understand themselves, release negative emotions, heal relationships with themselves and those around them, and learn to appreciate and be grateful for everything in life to always be peaceful and happy.
