Happiness is an emotional or mental state of
wellness, which can be defined by positive or pleasing emotions; ranging from
simple contentment to intense joy.
Starting from that definition, happiness
molds in many different aspects that it can be difficult to seize. Unhappiness
or sadness, on the other hand, is easy to recognize; you know it quickly when
you feel it, and it doesn’t need so much to take a hold of you.
Current automated
lifestyle, mechanized work tasks, routine life activities and social relations
that become each day colder and gloomier than the day before, all that make
happiness an optimistic dream, but not a reality.
If you think
happiness has more to do with financial wealth or life circumstances, think
again. It is an emotional state that results the interference of endogenous and
exogenous factors, in other terms, you are in charge of your happiness, the
result of your choices and your view on life. Happiness is indeed synthetic,
you either make it for yourself, or you don’t.
When it is about
making yourself cheerful, you are the only one who knows what works the best
for you, you need to learn and appreciate what suits you. Once you realize
this, everything else seems senseful and logical, your circumstances become
backing factors, not opponent ones, which leads to internal peace,
self-confidence, performance and even health improvement.
Here are some common
great ways that help socially and emotionally intelligent people to make and
sustain their own happiness.
·Avoid obsession
with objects beyond your control. It’s beneficial to know how political and
social events might affect your country’s markets and sovereign, but there’s a
distinct difference between understanding these larger forces and distressing
-vainly- about them. Happy people are always ready and tuned up, but they don’t
let things that are beyond their control to obsess them.
·Live to fight
another day: Happy people know how important to choose their battles.
During disagreement, unrestrained and unnecessary emotions make you dig your
own grave and engage you in battles that will eventually leave you emotionally
damaged and unhappy for some time. When you understand and manage to your
emotions, you’re capable to select your battles cleverly, thus you are capable
of protecting your happiness.
·Physical
exercise: psychological wellness and physical wellness are an intrigued
components of the same complex; Human wellbeing. Physical exercise promotes
your self-esteem, your corporeal confidence and makes you well prepared to the
future and less nervous about current life constraints.
·Have a growing
mindset: With a fixed mindset, you accept as fixed truth that: you are who
you are and you cannot change. This generates a lot of problems when you’re
challenged with new circumstances, since anything appears to be more than you
can handle, which makes you feel hopeless and besieged. On the other hand,
people with a growth mindset believe that they can face anything with
intelligence, improve anything with effort. This fact makes them happier
because they think the whole world in under control and they are better at
managing difficulties. They also top those with a fixed mindset because they
embrace defiance, treating it as an opportunity for self-improvement and to
learn something new and.
·Make your own
world! Needless to say: Take a good look at your workspace! You must always
create a suitable space that’s soothing, uplifting and matches your lifestyle.
Whether it’s a heart-warming picture of your family, a plant that you are
taking care of, or an award that you are proud of, show them prominently to
keep them under you sight and on your mind. Get rid of the garbage and mess
that hold no significance -but space- and do nothing helpful for your mental
state.
·Always give your
hand: Taking some time to help other people and your colleagues not only
makes them cheerful, but it also makes you happy and satisfied. Helping other
people gives you a rush of happiness hormones such serotonin, oxytocin, and
dopamine. As long as you make sure that you are not exploited or over
committing yourself, helping people is sure to have a positive influence on
your self-esteem and happiness.
·The future is
brighter than you think: Always believe that the best is yet to come.
Having an optimistic, constructive, outlook on the coming events doesn’t just
make you happier; it also develops your performance by promoting your sense of
self-efficiency. The mind has the power to enlarge past pleasure to such a high
degree that the present fades in comparison. This phenomenon makes you lose
faith in the future to outdo what you’ve already done. Don’t be tricked.
Believe in the great events the future is storing for you.
·Mix It All
Together: following all these hints will not just improve your happiness at
work, but most of them will indeed advance your emotional intelligence. Choose
those that suit you and have fun applying them.
