What if we are looking at the “glass half full” analogy all wrong?     Transcript:   Welcome to Everyday Happiness where we create lasting happiness, in 2 minutes a day,  through my signature method of Intentional Margins® (creating harmony between your to-dos and your priorities), happiness science, and musings about life.    I'm your host Katie Jefcoat and I was listening to a podcast from 2019 with happiness expert Shawn Anchor and Oprah talking about all this happiness.    Shawn Anchor is a former Harvard professor, New York Times Bestselling Author and happiness expert.   He said something that made me think and I wanted to share it with you.  He said he doesn't care whether you think the glass is ½ full or ½ empty.  It's not about the glass and when we focus on the glass we are focusing on the wrong thing.     He says, there is a pitcher right next to the glass.  Every glass.  Whether you see it or not.  What we should be focused on is not the glass but how we fill it.  Life is the pitcher.  How am I connecting with people around me, connection with others is where we find happiness.  Am I filling my pitcher with authentic connections to pour into my glass.  When we need to fill our cup, we can do that with the people around us.  The pitcher is always there, we just need to be looking for it.     Our happiness habits are the pitcher.  Are we filling our pitcher with habits that provoke happiness and well-being?     His analogy boils down to the same thing people get at when they say, do you see the glass as half full or half empty.  Are you optimistic or pessimistic?  It's what you perceive.  He just takes a spin at it by saying, it's not about the glass, it's about what we are looking for and what we see those experiences and perceptions that we pour into the glass that matters.     Fascinating right.  I love this idea and I am going to be cultivating happiness habits so I always have a full pitcher if my glass is low.      Until next time, take two minutes and write a kindness email, a note of gratitude or thanks to someone you've been thinking about lately.  It makes all the difference and it will fill your pitcher.  Remember, kindness is contagious.    Inspired by this Super Soul podcast episode.    Get Everyday Happiness delivered to your inbox by subscribing at: https://www.katiejefcoat.com/happiness   And, let's connect on social at @everydayhappinesswithkatie  and join the community on the hashtags #IntentionalMargins and #everydayhappinesswithkatie on Instagram   Links:  https://onamission.bio/everydayhappiness/

We're replaying our most popular episodes from the past year.  In case you missed it or want a reminder, here is the most listened to episode in April 2022.     The five steps to boost happiness in today's episode.      Transcript:   Welcome to Everyday Happiness where we create lasting happiness, in 2-ish minutes a day,  through my signature method of Intentional Margins® (creating harmony between your to-dos and your priorities), happiness science, and musings about life.    I'm your host Katie Jefcoat and today we are continuing our discussion on training our brains to think more positively.     Shawn Anchor, New York Times Bestselling Author and happiness expert says that if you, for 21 days, practice any of these things I am going to outline in a minute, these small things, you can create a ripple the effect in your brain and scientifically change the neurons in your brain to be a more positive person.   That's incredible and honestly, none of these ideas are new.     There are five things we can do, today, to start to create new neuro-pathways in our brains and become more positive and happier.     First is three new gratitudes each day.  This looks like writing in a gratitude journal at least three new gratitudes every single day.    Second, Shawn Anchor is big on journaling.  He says, journal about one positive experience you've had over the last twenty-four hours.  Really think about all of the details, all of the emotion, re-live that experience while writing it into your journal.    Third is that exercise teaches your brain that your body matters and he says, we need to get out and move our bodies.    Fourth, meditate.  He thinks meditation helps us to get over the cultural ADHD when we multitask. I can see that.  But if meditation is not your thing, don't put pressure on yourself.     Finally, he says random acts of kindness are a sure-fire way to start that change to develop a more positive mindset.  His example was so simple: If we can get people to open their email and praise or thank one person in their social or support network every day, we can create change.  Of course, I think handwriting three sentences on a postcard would be going the extra mile.     If we do these things, we can re-train our brains to think more positively and create a ripple revolution. Which leads to more happiness - scientifically.      I'm curious, where will you start today, let me know - I'm over @everydayhappinesswithkatie.    Get Everyday Happiness delivered to your inbox by subscribing at: https://www.katiejefcoat.com/happiness   And, let's connect on social at @everydayhappinesswithkatie  and join the community on the hashtags #IntentionalMargins and #everydayhappinesswithkatie on Instagram   Links:  https://onamission.bio/everydayhappiness/

The best part about a good vacation is how it can bring feelings of relaxation, peace of mind, and restoration. For a lot of people, however, those feelings are fleeting, and it's not too long till you're planning another vacation just to get a little bit of that peace and happiness again. As a society, we are constantly chasing happiness in the form of a stress-free life, but it always seems just out of reach. We get caught up in work stress, relationship stress, and much more. We may become so stressed that we start to feel depressed, anxious, or burnt out. Stress really does seem inevitable most times. However, the research on happiness and stress shows there is a way to live a life that is less stressful. On today's show, we're going to look at practical and research-based ways to reduce stress so you can live a happier life.Key TakeawaysIt's essential to cultivate a mindset of happiness, no matter the circumstances. Doing this changes the lens in which you see the world, leading to less stress and more positivity. Make a conscious effort to be kind. This improves the day of those you are kind to as well as your own, leading to reduced negativity in your life. Create daily practices. Have a routine of things to help you stay focused throughout the day while reducing stress. Episode Moments/Quotes 5:38 - “Throw out the idea, the thought, that has probably been planted in your head, that success precedes happiness.” -Dr. Neely 7:01 - “Success is a moving target. We have to ground our level of stress and how we manage it in something that we have control of.” -Dr. Neely 10:28 - Exercise about the importance of mindset in relation to stress. 16:07 - “We pick up negative emotions like secondhand smoke.” -Dr. Neely.Resources/Things Mentioned During The Show:Drop The BS Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/dropthebspodcast/Psychology Today: https://www.psychologytoday.com/usNeely Counseling Center: www.neelycounseling.comBook-The One Thing https://the1thing.com/Shawn Anchor https://www.shawnachor.com/

With the isolation and depression of the pandemic, communities are trying different initiatives based on Shawn Anchor's Happiness Advantage to improve the wellbeing of their members. Not all Christians are on board with these wellness initiatives, especially with the issues in current politics. In this episode, I interview my friend Julia Lines, Isanti County Administrator in Minnesota. She shares how she had some criticism of the wellness initiative from religious members. Hear how I respond that God is bigger than we think, is the originator of much research in the secular community and how God sees people who look and vote differently than us. The summary of Shawn Anchor's work is that “Small changes ripple outwards”. This is a kingdom principal! Caroline Leaf has her own research that is Biblical and mirrors what Shawn is talking about.

DREAM THINK DOer, like I said, this is a part of our Dream Together series. So we're going after big questions, questions that we've gotten at our live events over the years and questions that we get as people are using our Dream Together app to go after new dreams, new goals. The one we're going after today is something that so often happens. It's something that can kind of bubble up. I can remember at so many different live events, people would step to the mic at the end of the event to do this Q&A, and they would ask a version of this question: How can I stick with a dream? And you could feel all the emotions that were tied to a question like this. Sometimes it was fear, sometimes it was weariness, but you can also feel these elements of hope, sometimes excitement, sometimes life, because people had gotten clear on a new dream or maybe unearthed, kind of helped and remembered a very dream. And now they're asking this question of how do I know I'm going to stick with it? You could tell they didn't want to waste time. They didn't want to look silly. At the same time, they were also maybe feeling a little childlike wonder, giving themselves that permission to ask, what if? That feeling of life that starts to happen when we start to recognize a new dream or an old goal that might be percolating to the top. Right? And if you've had that question, how do I know I'm going to stick with it? How can I stick with it? I want to give you three strategies to help some concepts that you'll be able to apply immediately. All right. So let's get to this. Truth number one, strategy number one is be willing to be a novice. That's right. Give yourself permission to be new at something. Now, we talked a little bit about this in episode 250. It's something I've had to learn, and it's something that I know a lot of you have had to learn. Here's the thing. With DREAM THINK DO, we've got a lot of people that listen, obviously, a lot of successful people. And success is fantastic, it's awesome, right? But success can also be dangerous because if we're successful in one area, it can also make us start to be scared to be a novice in another area. Right? It's one of those things where a success is wonderful. But when it starts to make us kind of limit ourselves, to start not allowing ourselves to try new things, to go and learn new things because we don't want to look new, we don't want to look like a beginner, but isn't it amazing? I mean, when you think about it, when you've given yourself the chance to learn something new, hasn't there been magic in that? Maybe that whole thing of not having to be great at something? Kind of feels like freedom to be able to explore something with relatively no expectations other than to learn. Right? That's what we're talking about, to be able to say, "Hey, I want to learn as I go." Because if we give ourselves that permission, there's really no failure. Because as long as we're learning, as long as we're moving forward, there's no failure. And I know for me, with some of the different businesses that we have launched, sometimes some of our attempts, some of our experiments have gone down in flames. But when I look back, I also realize that's when we've learned the most, whether it's learning the most about what we need to be doing or learning the most about ourselves. And so it's one of those things to be able to say, hey, give yourself that permission to be a novice, to learn something new, try something different. It's what brings a lot of magic to life. It's also what allows us to pursue and stick with those new dreams and goals. Right? So give yourself that permission. Be a novice once in a while. All right. Truth number two, strategy number two is decide to do it and know that adversity is part of the ride. Now you might be like, "All right, Mr. Good News." Right? To be able to talk right out of the gate about adversity. But I think it's something we have to talk about, and that's something we do with DREAM THINK DO. Right? We operate in truth. We speak to the hard truth of things. And I think if you're a DREAM THINK DOer, you appreciate that. And I know this sounds simple, but it's easy I think for people, when they start to experience adversity, to say, "Oh, I must be doing something wrong. Oh, I must not be supposed to do this." Right? But here's the thing is, when we start to realize adversity can also be a sign that we're onto something big, sometimes that helps us to flip the script. I love what Chad Williams said in episode 295. You may remember, but Chad is a retired Navy SEAL, and the Navy SEALs are these elite fighting force for the United States, and in many ways they're the best of the best. But they had truly flipped the script on adversity. They've started to appreciate adversity. In fact, one of their main mottos, one of their creeds for a SEAL is forged by adversity. They celebrate it. They know it's coming. And instead of just trying to avoid it at all costs, they know that it makes them stronger, not in some kind of misogynistic way or masochistic way, all that, but they actually understand that adversity makes them strong. And if we're going to be honest, adversity also is sometimes what makes life rich. I love what Napoleon Hill said on this point. He said, "Every adversity, every failure, every heartache, carries with it a seed of equal or greater benefit." One of the greatest coaches of all time, Lou Holtz said, "Show me someone who has done something worthwhile and I will show you someone who has overcome adversity." So going after our dreams and goals, we know that we're going to face some adversity, adversity is going to come, but also want to encourage you that you are tougher than you think. You are stronger than you think, and I think we need to be reminded of that as well. Right? The topic of grit, the topic of resiliency is a very popular topic right now, and that's good. Right? And I know that sometimes it's easy to look at someone and say, "Oh, that person's really resilient." Maybe it's a World War II survivor, or somebody that's done something huge, and maybe they're further along in their life, and you look at that person, you go, "Man, that person is resilient." They don't have to necessarily be a Navy SEAL, but you can look at that and go, "Gosh, am I that resilient?" And it's one of those things where all of a sudden comparison can start to come in, especially on this topic and say, "Gosh, am I as resilient as filling the blank?" And that's why I personally like this term called micro-resiliency. Micro-resiliency, and those are small daily choices to stick, small but significant choices to stay with it. Micro-resiliency literally is being able to choose day to day, minute by minute, to be just a little bit more resilient. I love this quote from William Arthur Ward. It says, "Adversity causes some people to break, but others, it causes them to break records." Come on. And it's one of those things where resiliency, and more specifically, micro-resiliency... Not say or try to weigh whether you're resilient or not, but to say, "I'm going to try my best to be resilient in this moment." Well, that can make all the difference. It also helps to understand some of the fields of research when it comes to positive psychology on this front. One of the things that's bubbled up is something called post-traumatic growth, which is a positive, psychological change experienced as the result of adversity leading, to a higher level of functioning. Post-traumatic growth. Now we know trauma can be brutal, right? And I'm definitely not trying to dismiss that at all, but it's one of those things where we can also say when we look back on a lot of the challenges. I know that that's also oftentimes some of the most rich times in our life, or at least it produces tremendous fruit. Now here's the thing though... And by the way, we go after post-traumatic growth, that concept, in-depth in episode 172, and I'll include all these show notes in this particular episode, so you can go back and check out those in more depth if you want to. But as I dug into this concept of post-traumatic growth, later I realized there's also something called pre-traumatic growth, which sounds pretty good. And what that is, is that is actually learning from other people's adversity. Pre-traumatic growth, and what that is, if you want to flip that definition a little bit, pre-traumatic growth is positive psychological changes, leading to more focused energy engagement and joy by learning from other people's stories and strategies of facing adversity. Now, I like that, and that's probably one of the big reasons why you listen to DREAM THINK DO, is you're willing to actually lean into a little pre-traumatic growth, to be able to say, "Hey, I know adversity is going to come. That's life. That's also what happens when you pursue dreams. So I want to learn from other people's adversity. I want to learn from other people's stories." Because I'm guessing that as you've learned from some of the episodes that you've heard, some of the interviews that you've heard, some of the stories that you've heard, that you can say, "Hey, gosh, I haven't faced that particular adversity, but I can learn from her story. I can learn from his story," and that's what we want to do. So I just want to encourage you to say, "Hey, I'm going to go after this. I'm going to decide to go after this. I know that adversity is going to come. That's a part of life. That's what in many ways makes life rich. And I am going to learn from others. I'm going to learn from my own adversity, but I'm also going to learn from others." And that's why I want to commend you for listening, listening to DREAM THINK DO, investing in yourself and growing. So that's tip number two. Now tip number three, truth number three, strategy number three is going to bring us home, and that is simply to finish something. I know it sounds so simple, but it is so powerful. My friend and pastor and DREAM THINK DO guest, Antonio Neves, just wrote a book called Stop Living on Autopilot. I talked with him in-depth about it in episode 307. And I got to tell you, Antonio was just interviewed on The Today Show, and he killed it. He absolutely killed it. They were talking with him about this book. And one of the subjects that came up when it comes to not living on autopilot anymore, not living on cruise control anymore, is he spoke to the power of finishing something. Again, the field of positive psychology tells us over and over that regular ongoing achievement leads to higher levels of competence and higher levels of joy. Now we're talking about small wins on a regular basis, right? But we also know as DREAM THINK DOers that a job left undone, gosh, there is nothing more draining than a job left undone. Right? Now, what I love about this concept, the concept of finishing something is... Antonio digs into this concept in-depth in his book, and again, the book is called Stop Living on Autopilot. You're going to want to check it out. But he makes the point that finishing something doesn't have to be big things all the time. You don't have to finish the Mona Lisa. You don't have to write the next greatest American novel to finish something, to have that feeling. It can really be small wins. And when we're going after a new goal, a new dream, that's what we're looking for is the small steps that you can take and take them over time. Celebrate those wins. So if you're needing to learn something new, search for a TED Talk on that subject and celebrate watching a kick-butt 18-minute presentation on the subject as opposed to getting lost in your social media feed. Or if you want to expand your network, reach out and do a coffee, a virtual coffee or a real coffee with someone and celebrate taking 30 minutes to connect with someone that inspires you. Don't beat yourself up for not having the whole thing done. Celebrate, finish that small, but significant step. Maybe if your goal is to get in shape, don't beat yourself up for not being able to run a marathon yet, but get out there and spend 20 minutes walking around your neighborhood and enjoy the simplicity of soaking up some sun and actually feel that accomplishment. Or maybe if you're wanting to write a book. I know a lot of people using the Dream Together app, that's one of the big goals that's out there, right? They want to write a book. And maybe you're beating yourself up for not finishing the book yet. Here's what I want to do is I want to encourage you, go after those small wins. Think about this, just do the math. If you just write three pages a day and celebrate that, finish three pages a day over the course of a hundred days, that's just a third or a little less than a third of the year, you'll have 300 pages. That's pretty amazing. And it's one of those things that you could be celebrating those wins, those mini goals, and finish those along the way. And like we said, when you finish something, it increases our sense of happiness, our sense of confidence and our ability to be resilient. And that's what I want for you. Those are three keys to sticking with it. Number one, be willing to be a novice, give yourself permission to start something and be new at it. Enjoy that. Number two, decide to do it and know that adversity is going to be a part of the ride. It's a part of the journey. It's something that makes it rich. And number three, finish something. Give yourself permission to finish something. Small wins along the way will make the journey so much better, and it'll also help to bring joy, confidence, strength, and resiliency as you do. Those are the three strategies, three keys, three truths. And I want to hear from you. What do you think? Plus, I want to hear from you, what's something that helps you stick? All right. Let me know. You can go to mitchmatthews.com320. That's where we'll include links to all the show notes, as well as all the episodes I mentioned, some other resources to be able to dig into, all of that.

Episode 126 Hello and Welcome to another potentially joyful episode of the TCAPSLoop Podcast!! I’m filled with gratitude to be joined by Ted Lasso of EdTech Coaches, Danelle Brostrom and the TCAPS Director of Joyfulness (unofficial title) Heidi Skodak.      Moment of Zen Happiness is a direction. Not a place. - Sydney J. Harris    We continually return to the fact that this has been an unprecedented year in education. One thing it has forced us to do is re-evaluate not only the platforms we use to educate but how we, as educators approach our work and life to create a safe and healthy environment for our kiddos so that they can be successful students and people. In our school district this has led to some deeper investigation on what it means to be successful. To that end our leadership teams and school community have adopted the #PositivelyTCAPS mantra and a book study into Shawn Anchor's bestselling book, "The Happiness Advantage."      Tech Tool of the Week:  Game About Squares - Beware! Highly Addicting   Thanks for listening and inspiring!

La gratitud es sanadora. Lo decimos nosotras y lo dice la ciencia. El simple hecho de agradecer cada día por 21 días tiene efectos en nuestro organismo y estado de ánimo que se prolonguen hasta por 6 meses y que benefician a nuestro sistema inmune (muy propicio en tiempos de pandemia), sistema cardiovascular y a la salud mental. Agradecer libera oxitocinas, nos centra en el presente y nos permite ser felices ¡ya! en el momento. Los expertos coinciden en que las personas más alegres y resilientes todas tienen en común el acto de agradecer, no solo por las “grandes cosas”, también por los pequeños placeres cotidianos (el sol, cantar, movernos) y sobretodo por las personas importantes de nuestras vidas. El agradecimiento no significa negar la realidad o el dolor, significa darte cuenta que aún cuando las cosas no son como tú deseas o te causan dolor, igual tienes razones para agradecer. Para Dani, quien incluso llevó un diario de gratitud por un año este ha sido un proceso natural e instintivo y Carla en cambio ha debido llegarle por la razón a través de la lectura y después de la meditación. Sin embargo, ambas tienen claro que para llevar una vida plena es indispensable agradecer. Mucho más en un año tan difícil como este. Libros “Resiliente.

Erfolg im Job als Voraussetzung für ein glückliches Privatleben? Die Harvard University hat sich mit dem Thema beschäftigt. Wir sprechen über die Erkenntnisse und eine ganz neue Denkweise. Außerdem: Rezo wettert gegen die Presse. Was ist dran an seiner Kritik? Was wird sein neuestes Video ändern? Für den Input zu dieser Folge danken wir: Béla Anda, Patrick Kammerer, BBDO, Dieter Zetsche, Hartmut Mehdorn, Markus Söder, Doro Bär, Rezo, Julian Reichelt, F.A.Z., Süddeutsche Zeitung, Christian Drosten, Shawn Anchor, Harvard University, Claus Hoffmann, Ad Monitoring Group, Steffi Neu, WDR 2

We talk about Habits in general and several things surrounding that topic. Information is from Brendan Buchard, Shawn Anchor's book with Harvard Studies, Tim Ferriss, Joshua Waitzkin and James Clear. Twitters: YES.

Shawn Anchor’s work teaches us instead of working hard in order to be happy, we should cultivate happiness in our lives so that we can work more effectively. We already mentioned that happiness releases dopamine in the body, which increases happy feelings and increases the learning function of your brain. But what could this mean for your career? Well; have you stayed in the same job for years even though it makes you miserable? Do you stay because you believe that working hard and enduring everything that’s bad about it will, eventually, lead to success and happiness? If so, Anchor’s research could be the key to a new door that you’ve been waiting for. When you’re struggling through each day you are not experience those floods of dopamine which would allow you to come up with new ideas and think in innovative ways. Create success by experiencing happiness — even if that means making a bold move.

In an inspirational Ted Talk, psychologist Shawn Anchor suggests that we might be looking at the relationship between work and happiness the wrong way round. Most of us work with a mindset that tells us happiness will come as a result of working hard. If we put in effort we’ll find success — and then we’ll experience happiness. But Anchor argues it’s actually happiness itself that inspires productivity. Reverse the formula and seek to put the focus on the effort and not the outcome and let happiness be the by product. No expectations. Why? Because you will experience increased positive emotions because you’ve set your expectations low and allowed the result to be a curious reveal to you. Your body will more likely be flooded with a hormone called dopamine. This in turn makes you even happier — but it also turns on all the “learning centers” in your brain, which allows you to learn, adapt, and find new ways of working. So, relax and learn to love the process and let happiness find you and not the other way around.

Today we're talking to Shawn Achor who's one of the world's leading experts on the connection between happiness and success. Shawn's research on mindset made the cover of the Harvard Business Review. His TED Talk is one of the most popular of all times, with over 13 million views, and his lectures airing on PBS have been seen by millions of people around the world. Shawn has worked with over a third of the Fortune 100 companies, as well as the NFL, the NBA, the Pentagon, and the White House. He is also the author of the New York Times best-selling books, "The Happiness Advantage," and "Before Happiness," and his newest book is "Big Potential." In this episode, we explore why the biggest impediment to our success is not a lack of productivity, hard work or intelligence, but the way in which we pursue it. Shawn explains why researchers have found that it is our ability to connect with, contribute to, and benefit from the ecosystem of people around us that ultimately determines our success.

Teaching Happiness and Innovation with Mike Ferry In Mike's new book, Teaching Happiness and Innovation, he shows how we can form habits that will make us happier and more successful.  We can also become more creative with practice, and he talks about how to do that.  Who doesn't want to be happier, more successful, and more creative?  "In Teaching Happiness and Innovation, Ferry collects the best of positive psychology research, attempting to find ways to communicate these revolutionary findings and make them applicable to the challenges in our schools and society. We need more people like Ferry who find ways of sharing this invaluable message: scientifically, happiness can be a choice."  - Shawn Anchor, New York Times bestselling author of The Happiness Advantage For more information visit: http://www.happinessandinnovation.com/
