👩🏻‍🏫 What are the things you like about your job?
📝 There are longer-lasting positive emotions, such as sense of contentment, meaning in life, satisfaction with work and life. In addition, it is much better to pursue happiness frequently than intensely. ✨ That is, if you are waiting for one big thing to make you happier, then it is time to stop and think, because you are losing the best gift of life, the details.
🤸🏻‍♂️ Choose happiness in the workplace! There are many things for you to be happy about, such as good news, cheerful people, new projects, celebrating wins, finding new forms to accomplish a task or making good relationships with your coworkers.
🧗‍♂️ In the end, it is where you put your attention that counts. Make feeling good emotions a priority, they are correlated with better mental health, creativity, less stress, facilitating more opportunities to feel positive emotions, creating an upward spiral of happiness. The impact goes a long way in all the areas of your life.

📖Flourish 📖 builds on Dr. Seligman’s game-changing work on ✨optimism, motivation, and character to show how to get the most out of life, ✨unveiling an electrifying new theory of what makes a good life — for individuals, for communities, and for nations. In a fascinating evolution of thought and practice, 🤩 Flourish refines what Positive Psychology is all about.
✅ While certainly a part of well-being, happiness alone doesn't give life meaning. Seligman now asks, What is it that enables you to cultivate your talents, to build deep, lasting relationships with others, to feel pleasure, and to contribute meaningfully to the world? In a word, what is it that allows you to flourish? ✨Wellbeing✨ takes the stage front and center, and Happiness (or Positive Emotion) becomes one of the five pillars of Positive Psychology, along with Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and Accomplishment — or PERMA, the permanent building blocks for a life of profound fulfillment.
🙌🏻 Have you read this book? 📙 Would you add anything to these pillars? Why?

✨ Mindfulness provides greater work satisfaction. When we engage the practice of awakening at work, it can transform the work environment for ourselves and those around us. Each moment becomes an opportunity to practice, to listen, and to be grateful for what we have✨. Marc Lesser
✅ A good practice in your workplace is: become aware of the moment, put your body in a correct position, close your eyes for few minutes, go to your inner feelings, thinking:
🔹1) What thoughts and feelings are in your mind? Turn off any unpleasant feeling.
🔹2) What body sensations do you have right now? Conduct a quickly scan of your body.

🔹3) Redirect your attention to the physical sensations of the breath as an opportunity to connect to the present.
🫁* The breath is a good exercise because it helps you connect to the present moment. If you are paying attention to the breathing, you are not thinking. If you are thinking, you are not in the present moment.
😊 Be aware of everything that is happening around you during your work. Make full use of your senses. Feeling grateful for everything you receive and also for what you deliver, both are part of your purposes.

🎡This is a quick look about four fallacies that people commonly believe when thinking about happiness. ➡️ What can we do to change their perspective?
🟡 “You can't increase your total happiness". Some people just are happier than others. And this is indeed partly true but not completely. Research conducted at the University of California by Sonja Lyubomirsky which involved comparing twins found that 50% of sustainable happiness is genetically determined and therefore fixed, and another 10% comes from your environment and circumstances which are hard to change, but that leaves 40%, nearly half of your total happiness, which is determined by what she calls “intentional activities”, what we consciously choose to do and think. The actions that you take can make a big difference to that available 40% of happiness.
🔵 “You can't be happy unless you also experience unhappiness". I certainly would agree that if you had a very unhappy life, then you'll appreciate the good things more. But wherever you are at the moment, you can get some more good things into your life without having to let in some bad things as well. As long as you know what unhappiness is like, then you know enough to build more happiness into your life.
🟡 “Money will make you happy". It's been shown that big lottery wins only have a short-term effect because people can't cope with a sudden change. On the other hand, If you're really poor, need food and place to live or you worry about your financial security, then money does indeed help. However, extra money does not in fact add to our happiness, because sometimes, the price you have to pay to earn the extra money outweighs the benefit that you get from it.
🔵 “If you chase happiness, you can capture it". Of course, in a way, but we should consider setting up the right conditions so that it can happen: seeing your friends more often, learning new skills, engage in a hobbie, etc. These will be practical things that you can do which then allow happiness to happen. Don't give up on being happier.
