Happiness Habits For Success
So why are building habits important?
Happiness
It’s not just about being happy all the time; we want to be happy of course, but its about so much more. Especially at the moment. I’ve used these habits myself in my own life and with clients since 2014; it has been truly life changing and a way of thinking differently about our lives, our wellbeing and our success. A way of thinking differently and breaking the mould of traditional thinking, society and much more. Traditional society is very much focused on lack… what’s wrong with people, situations etc and how do we fix them? Positive psychology, the science behind the happiness habits flips this all on its head and is based on the latest neuroscience and research around when we focus on what is right rather
than wrong. We look at how we can elevate our levels of positive emotion and this releases amazing happy chemicals in our brain, fuelling our brain and giving it energy, reducing our fight/flight mechanism and enabling us to be creative, innovative and productive as a result. These habits even increase our immune system! I do feel the world is moving more towards embracing Positive Psychology and similar practices as the paradigm is shifting, so we are beginning to see hope. As we shift more out of a patriarchal society and the structures we have had for so long, it’s starting to shift. For example did you know the word ‘strategy’ has only been used in our language since war times? The amount of war words we now use in everyday life ‘strategy’ ‘fighting’, ‘challenge’ but they were never part of our vocabulary before but have become so ingrained with this lack mindset. Especially in the medical world ‘what’s wrong with you and how do we fix it’ has become ingrained in everything. PAGE
