Here are the rest of the notes from the workshop I went to on Well- Being this week that was offered through the Center for Consciousness and Transformation at my University (employer)Happiness is a choice
- 50% is genetic
- 40% is something you can control
- 10% is circumstances
Happiness strategies
- express gratitude
- look on the bright side/cultivate optimum
- don’t care yourself to others
- practice acts of kindness
- nurture social relationships
- write out pain/upset
- learn to forgive or let go
- increase flow experience /lose track of time
- savor joys of life, put time aside for it
- commit to goals
- practice religion/spirituality
- exercise, meditate, act happy (fake it til you make it)
Other thoughts and notes:
- Flow: focus and habits
- Correlation between age and satisfaction – comfortable in own skin, dealing with set back
- Overall we are too focused on negativity/weaknesses – keep a gratitude journal
- Gratitude matters – feel happier, more determined, more energetic, more optimistic, and more likely to offer support to others. you sleep better, exercise more, and experience fewer symptoms of physical illness
- 9 out of 10 people say they are more productive when they are around positive people
