When you can find temporary and specific reasons for why things are happening, that's when you feel hope.If you feel like something is permanent, that creates helplessness.If you feel like bad things happen in every part of your life, the space it takes up in your mind, that also creates helplessness.And when you start to feel helpless, hope isn't easily available to you. Register for the 4 Tips to Improve Any Relationship Workshop: https://hunkeedori.com/4Tips Seligman, Martin E.

Becoming optimistic can be as simple as learning a set of skills that help you talk to yourself from a more encouraging viewpoint when you encounter personal failures.Maybe by paying attention, you start to notice some of the unconscious conversations you are having in your head.When you start looking and noticing, you'll be surprised how many you may pick up on.There's a lot of storytelling running around freely in your mind.No wonder you feel weighed down with burdens.Many of them are happening without you even knowing it.List of Emotions download: https://hunkeedori.com/emotionsSeligman, Martin E.

Can You Learn to Be Happy?YES . . . according to the teacher of Harvard University's most popular and life-changing course.

It would be wise to take his advice."--Ellen J. Langer, author of "Mindfulness" and "On Becoming an Artist""This fine book shimmers with a rare brand of good sense that is imbedded in scientific knowledge about how to increase happiness. It is easy to see how this is the backbone of the most popular course at Harvard today."--Martin E. P. Seligman, author of "Authentic Happiness"

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! I want to start off this show about gratitude with gratitude for YOU. Holidays can be a super stressful time. I'm recording this before Thanksgiving, but if you listen to this podcast ON Thanksgiving itself, I will be hosting 10 family members for Thanksgiving. First of all, what exactly IS gratitude? Even though we kind of instinctively KNOW what gratitude is, it can be hard to put into words. Is it an emotion? A feeling? A practice? A virtue? All of the above? The definition of gratitude is “the state of being grateful : THANKFULNESS.” And thankfulness is defined as “the state of being conscious of benefit received.” Psychologists Dr. Robert A. Emmons of the University of California, Davis and Dr. Michael E. McCullough of the University of Miami define gratitude as a two-step process: 1) “recognizing that one has obtained a positive outcome” and 2) “recognizing that there is an external source for this positive outcome.” Gratitude is an amazing practice because it helps us focus on the GOOD that is happening in our lives, whether that is big or small. It can also be a time to realize that the goodness is coming from a higher power, from God. It's reassuring realizing that there is someone out there bigger than ourselves who is working for our good. Where did gratitude come from? According to a White Paper on Gratitude called “The Science of Gratitude” from the University of Berkley, some scientists suggest that gratitude may have evolved as a mechanism to drive reciprocal altruism, thereby turning strangers into friends and allies who are more likely to help one another. What are the benefits of gratitude? According to Harvard Medical School, Positive Psychology research shows that gratitude is consistently shown to be strongly related with greater happiness. Gratitude helps people feel more positive emotions, relish good experiences, improve their health, deal with adversity, and build strong relationships. I want to share a few studies on gratitude to further prove the overwhelming benefits of gratitude. In the first study called “Counting Blessings versus Burdens”, two psychologists, Dr. Robert A. Emmons and Dr. Michael E. McCullough they asked all participants to write a few sentences each week. One group wrote about things they were grateful for that had occurred during the week. A second group wrote about daily irritations or things that had displeased them, and the third wrote about events that had affected them (with no emphasis on them being positive or negative). After 10 weeks, those who wrote about gratitude were more optimistic and felt better about their lives. Surprisingly, they also exercised more and had fewer visits to physicians than those who focused on sources of aggravation. Dr. Martin E. P. Seligman, a psychologist at the University of Pennsylvania, tested the impact of various positive psychology interventions on 411 people, each compared with a control assignment of writing about early memories. “When their week's assignment was to write and personally deliver a letter of gratitude to someone who had never been properly thanked for his or her kindness, participants immediately exhibited a huge increase in happiness scores. This impact was greater than that from any other intervention, with benefits lasting for a month.” Research on how gratitude affects the heart is limited, but it suggests a correlation between positive psychological attributes, such as gratitude, with improved outcomes in cardiac patients. The positive effects of gratitude can be physically seen on brain imaging. Areas of the brain associated with emotional regulation and mental calmness were more active when participants were instructed in a gratitude meditation. Start Practicing Gratitude Today If you've never started a gratitude practice, now is a great time! You can practice gratitude about past experiences, things that are currently happening in your life, and staying hopeful and grateful for the future. Here are some ways to start practicing gratitude: If today is Thanksgiving and you're around your extended family, take this time to each share one thing you're grateful for. This can be a special way to feel closer together as a family. Get a separate journal or pad of paper that is dedicated exclusively to your gratitude practice. At the same time every day, maybe as you wake up each morning or before you go to bed, write down three things you're grateful for. They can be super tiny or huge celebrations. It's culturally encouraged to give thanks before meals! Remember to either say a prayer of gratitude or if you're not religious, you can practice a moment of gratitude to all the hands that went into growing and making your food. This moment can actually help you calm down and enter into a parasympathetic state, which also aids in digestion! Practice the art of writing thank you notes! You might be accustomed to writing thank you notes for gifts, but you can expand that practice to kind notes that don't need a reason. This has shown to benefit both the giver and receiver. If you're not a letter writer, you could also say thank you with a phone call or text. Write down your thankful thoughts on small pieces of paper, and put them in a jar. Then go back and read them when you're feeling. Practice gratitude around the dinner table. Have each person in your family share one thing they are grateful for that day!

DO YOU WANT YOUR LIFE TO BE PERFECT? We're all laboring under our own and society's expectations to be perfect in every way-to look younger, to make more money, to be happy all the time. But according to Tal Ben-Shahar, the New York Times bestselling author of Happier, the pursuit of perfect may actually be the number-one internal obstacle to finding happiness. OR DO YOU WANT TO BE HAPPY? Applying cutting-edge research in the field of positive psychology-the scientific principles taught in his wildly popular course at Harvard University-Ben-Shahar takes us off the impossible pursuit of perfection and directs us to the way to happiness, richness, and true fulfillment. He shows us the freedom derived from not trying to do it all right all the time and the real lessons that failure and painful emotions can teach us. YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE PERFECT TO BE PERFECTLY HAPPY! In The Pursuit of Perfect, Tal Ben-Shahar offers an optimal way of thinking about failure and success--and the very way we live. He provides exercises for self reflection, meditations, and “Time-Ins” to help you rediscover what you really want out of life. Praise for Tal Ben-Shahar's Happier: “This fine book shimmers with a rare brand of good sense that is embedded in scientific knowledge about how to increase happiness. It is easy to see how this is the backbone of the most popular course at Harvard today.” -Martin E. P. Seligman, author of Authentic Happiness

Dr Liana Lianov MD MPH is an innovative global leader in lifestyle medicine, not just in terms of leading the development of the original lifestyle medicine core competencies for physicians and healthcare professionals, but also in terms of advancing the movement for integrating positive psychology – that strengths-based approach to life – into healthcare. Her latest book is titled Strengths in the Mirror: Thriving Now and Tomorrow. It shares inspirational stories of colleagues and sums up how we can all flourish through healthy lifestyles, positive activities, and personal strengths. In 2018, Liana convened the first ever summit on Happiness Science and Healthcare, and she was co-sponsored by the American College of Lifestyle Medicine and Dell Medical School, where I was also an invited speaker and where we first met. Today, Liana joins me to talk about what makes a resilient mind. She shares her favorite books and what she's learned from them, and she explores the 5 core strengths: self-care, positive actions, social connections, character strengths, and brain strengths. We talk about the power of thinking small and of focusing on encouraging the positive rather than reversing the negative. She talks about the Global Positive Health Institute and explains why medicine should start with lifestyle and work outward from there. She discusses the strong and undeniable link between lifestyle medicine and positive psychology, she defines success, and she shares three take-homes for a resilient mind. “A resilient mind sets goals and pursues them and celebrates the small successes along the way–even if we don't fully achieve that goal. Anything along the way is worth celebrating.” ~Dr Liana Lianov This week on In the Doctor's Chair: Liana's favorite books and what she's learned from them The 5 core strengths The power of thinking small Maintaining the positive rather than changing the negative All about the Global Positive Health Institute Why medicine should start with lifestyle and work from there The link between lifestyle medicine and positive psychology The importance of trusting yourself Resources Mentioned: Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi Why We Do What We Do: Understanding Self-Motivation by Edward L.

Dr Liana Lianov MD MPH is an innovative global leader in lifestyle medicine, not just in terms of leading the development of the original lifestyle medicine core competencies for physicians and healthcare professionals, but also in terms of advancing the movement for integrating positive psychology - that strengths-based approach to life - into healthcare. Her latest book is titled Strengths in the Mirror: Thriving Now and Tomorrow. It shares inspirational stories of colleagues and sums up how we can all flourish through healthy lifestyles, positive activities, and personal strengths. In 2018, Liana convened the first ever summit on Happiness Science and Healthcare, and she was co-sponsored by the American College of Lifestyle Medicine and Dell Medical School, where I was also an invited speaker and where we first met. Today, Liana joins me to talk about what makes a resilient mind. She shares her favorite books and what she's learned from them, and she explores the 5 core strengths: self-care, positive actions, social connections, character strengths, and brain strengths. We talk about the power of thinking small and of focusing on encouraging the positive rather than reversing the negative. She talks about the Global Positive Health Institute and explains why medicine should start with lifestyle and work outward from there. She discusses the strong and undeniable link between lifestyle medicine and positive psychology, she defines success, and she shares three takehomes for a resilient mind. “A resilient mind sets goals and pursues them and celebrates the small successes along the way--even if we don't fully achieve that goal. Anything along the way is worth celebrating.” - Liana Lianov This week on In the Doctor's Chair: Liana's favorite books and what she's learned from them The 5 core strengths The power of thinking small Maintaining the positive rather than changing the negative All about the Global Positive Health Institute Why medicine should start with lifestyle and work from there The link between lifestyle medicine and positive psychology The importance of trusting yourself Resources Mentioned: Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi Why We Do What We Do: Understanding Self-Motivation by Edward L.

Im Hundetraining & auf Social Media fällt zurzeit öfter der Begriff der erlernten Hilflosigkeit. Doch was ist das eigentlich und was steckt wirklich dahinter? Wann verfällt ein Hund in diese erlernte Hilflosigkeit und wann gerade eher nicht? Kann der Hund in so einer Situation dann überhaupt noch willentliche Reaktionen, wie zB aggressives Verhalten, zeigen? Wir klären auf und beleuchten diesen Begriff von der wissenschaftlichen Perspektive. Aber Achtung: Die Experimente sind nichts für schwache Nerven! Wenn ihr endlich bei diesem Thema mitdiskutieren wollt, hört euch unbedingt diese unglaublich interessante Podcastfolge an.|| Kontakt:dogaboutlife@gmail.com|| Instagram: @dogaboutlifePatrizia: @fuxliebe Alice: @minniefairytailAnna: @loewenpfoten|| Logo Credits:Katleen Ackers https://katleenackers.de/|| Music Credits:Music from https://www.zapsplat.com|| Weiterbildungstipp:|| Buch: Erlernte Hilflosigkeit von Martin E.

Greetings, Summit Leaders. What do you believe for your future?   Be encouraged and believe "the best is yet to be."   Bo Swilley, my friend and a great encourager whispered a word of encouragement to me, "the best is yet to be," during a time of serving together on August 20, 2017.   The timing of Bo's words was perfect and boosted my confidence.Bo's words gave me a quote that came to mind this morning that I underlined and dated from the book he shared with me. Someone once said, "Truthful lips stand the test of time, but lies are soon exposed, and all things are possible to those who believe." What we believe matters. Our belief system drives our thinking, affecting our hearts and actions. What we believe affects everything about our lives. Our beliefs generate optimism for the journey ahead. What vision do you believe will come to pass? Someone once said, "Now faith is being sure of what you hope for, and certain of what you do not see.  Are you expecting, anticipating, and preparing for it? Keep working, watching, and waiting because faith without works is dead.  "In hope against hope, he believed and became..." is a great quote describing one man's response to what appeared to be an impossible set of circumstances. How can we respond when changes come? Don't stop believing! A Summit alum shared his experience in a Harvard University class focusing on leadership in sales. "My takeaway was that sellers who are optimistic are more productive than those who are not."  He shares insights from the book, Learned Optimism, How to Change Your Mind and Your Life by Martin E. P. Seligman. Optimists are realistic; they contemplate the facts and do not deny that the circumstances are challenging, and the road to victory can be months or even years ahead. Optimists protect their thinking against every negative thought not aligned with their vision and purpose. The key is our perspective. How are we interpreting and explaining our life and career moments? During the challenging days, months, and years ahead, resolve to be faithful in your responsibilities to others and do your work. Expectation, anticipation, and preparation describe the mindset of great leaders. Remember your purpose, vision, goals, and victories.  Ask, "What steps can I take to increase how optimism is a dominant attribute in me as a leader?" Reflect on your journey and the insights you gained.   Please note events, circumstances, and how someone inspired you with their optimism in your journal. Be the optimist for someone each day. Practice.  Someone shared this quote that I recite to help me maintain my optimism. "Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise." Optimism outwardly expressed in our words, actions, and body language is essential and contagious when working with colleagues, clients, family, and friends. Choose today to be an optimist! Victory!

CHUCK: Evan Light. EVAN: Hellooo! CHUCK: Jim Gay. JIM: Hello! CHUCK: I'm Charles Max Wood from devchat.tv. This week's topic is going to be "Dealing with Burnout". Just to give you a little bit of background, I actually chose this topic because I am dealing with burnout. Anyway, I thought it'd be interesting to talk about it to see if you guys experience this and -- EVAN: No, never! Ever! JIM: Alright, it's been fun! [laughter] EVAN: That's it. CHUCK: I'm totally burned out on these guys, I'm leaving. EVAN: You have a nice model object. CHUCK: [laughs] Anyway, I got off this project a couple of weeks ago, and I don't know! I just haven't been able to really sit down and want to write code. And, it was really hard for me because I was burned out all through the month of most Ruby Conference. I enjoyed talking to people, but usually I wind up messing around with code and stuff during the conference and I'll come home and go the whole bunch. I really enjoy writing code! And, I'm really not enjoying writing code...And so, I was wondering what you guys do to cope with this kind of thing? EVAN: [inaudible] [laughter] EVAN: I'm serious! I just work a little bit less and maybe I don't produce many hours and maybe I spend more time doing complete things that have nothing to do with the computer. ASHE: Yeah. A couple of years ago, I had a really bad case of burnout. It probably last to close to a year. I just hated doing work every single day and I started picking up hobbies. I had nothing to do with sitting in a computer like I picked up meeting, which for most people who know me like I'm not like a very domestic does-curly-girl-type thing, so picking up meeting was kind of different for me, which I love doing now and I really enjoy doing that; rode my bike more, spent more time outside. I was trying to get like my work-life balance back in order, so it's only working a maximum of 8 hours a day. [Chuck laughs]
