Meditating on "Happiness is a work ethic". Seeing the world in a different way is an active process for most people. (Unless you are one of the lucky few who is naturally happy. In which case, woohoo!) I'm on a Shawn Achor kick. Here is another video, see below.
Three good things:
(1) I get to see my folks today and celebrate my dad becoming a deacon.
(2) I got to go outside during the day today, and it is beautiful and shiny as usual in Arizona.(3) I have great friends.
Exercise:
I walked to the restaurant today instead of driving. It was a little warm but the 30 minute walk was great and energizing.
Reflection:
I have actually been working quite diligently at work today. I have also been listening to other Shawn Achor videos on Youtube. Though I joke that I am watching/listening to happiness self-help videos, I think seeing the different ways to look at happiness and to appreciate the fact that a lot of people struggle with happiness as a normal state feels good. There is some comraderie there.
Random Act of Kindness:
I went to lunch with a mentee of mine and brought her lunch. It was nice to get out of the office and to catch up.
It was a pretty amazing event. Seeing all the cousins was pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteThis video was cool, but I liked the other one better...cause it made me laugh out loud.
