1. Correct your thoughts

For starters, your discontentment originates from the way you perceive things.

One dictionary defines contentment as “the state of being mentally or emotionally satisfied with things as they are.” With that said, you can shift your mindset and find contentment in an instant. Your contentment is within reach, with nothing but yourself as an obstacle.

So, adjust your thoughts accordingly, and contentment will follow.

2. Be productive

The lack of productivity often breeds feelings of discontentment and frustration. In today’s world, instead of being productive in the real world, you may find yourself engrossed in the artificial lives portrayed on social media. Doing so, can cause a feeling of discontent to permeate your being. Gnarly, eh?

Have you heard idle hands are the devil’s workshop; idle lips are his mouthpiece? If so, then you know that spending all your time on social media infers you have idle hands. Social media can be a time waster and can lead you towards being unproductive and discontent. So be content by being productive in real life.

3. Pray

A lack of prayer often results in feelings of discontentment.

Have you heard humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that He may lift you up in due time? Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you? If so, then you know through prayer our Creator can help you deal with the heaviness of discontentment in your heart.

As you engage in prayer, you can cultivate a sense of contentment, despite any negative emotions you may be experiencing.
