Podcasts about subjective well being

Diesmal geht es um ein Thema, das in der Produktentwicklung oft zu kurz kommt: Well-Being. Während Produktverantwortliche intensiv daran arbeiten, ihre Software effizienter, benutzerfreundlicher und funktionaler zu gestalten, bleibt eine zentrale Frage häufig unbeachtet: Wie beeinflussen digitale Produkte das langfristige Wohlbefinden ihrer Nutzerinnen und Nutzer? Zu Gast ist Tim-Can Werning, Wirtschaftspsychologe und Forscher zum Thema Wohlbefinden im Kontext von Technologie. Er beschreibt, wie Produkte nicht nur kurzfristig nützlich, sondern auch langfristig förderlich für das subjektive Wohlbefinden sein können. Dabei verweist er auf das Konzept des Subjective Well-Being, das neben allgemeiner Lebenszufriedenheit auch die domänenspezifische Zufriedenheit umfasst. Gerade Letzteres ist spannend für Produktverantwortliche, denn viele Menschen nutzen Software nicht freiwillig, sondern als Teil ihres Arbeitsalltags. Die Auswirkungen auf ihre Zufriedenheit gehen daher über den Arbeitsplatz hinaus. Ein Schlüsselkonzept in der Psychologie, das für die Produktgestaltung relevant ist, ist die Selbstbestimmungstheorie. Sie benennt drei grundlegende psychologische Bedürfnisse: Autonomie, Kompetenzerleben und soziale Eingebundenheit. Diese Faktoren beeinflussen, wie motiviert und zufrieden Menschen mit einer Tätigkeit oder einem digitalen Produkt sind. Ein Beispiel aus dem Gespräch zeigt, wie eine Sportuhr durch ihre Art des Feedbacks dem Nutzenden entweder ein Erfolgserlebnis verschaffen oder ihm das Gefühl von Unzulänglichkeit vermitteln kann. Eine unüberlegte Gestaltung kann so das Wohlbefinden ungewollt negativ beeinflussen. Langfristigkeit in der Produktentwicklung ist ein spannendes Thema. Oft wird Erfolg an kurzfristigen KPIs gemessen. Doch was passiert, wenn Nutzer:innen ein Produkt über Monate oder Jahre hinweg verwenden? Welche langfristigen Auswirkungen hat es auf ihr Wohlbefinden? Ein positives Beispiel liefert das Computerspiel Anno 1800, das nach einer gewissen Spielzeit Pausen vorschlägt, um exzessives Spielen zu vermeiden und das Wohlbefinden der Nutzer:innen zu schützen. Hier zeigt sich, dass bewusste Produktgestaltung weit über kurzfristige Interaktionen hinausgeht. Das Well-Being sollte also als integraler Bestandteil der Produktentwicklung gesehen werden. Denn am Ende profitieren nicht nur die Nutzer:innen von besser durchdachten Produkten, sondern auch Unternehmen, deren Software langfristig als positiv wahrgenommen wird.

Ever feel like no matter what you do, it's never enough? Like you breeze past your successes and fixate on what went wrong? You're not alone, and today, we're tackling that sneaky little cognitive distortion: discounting the positive. In this episode, we break down why so many physicians downplay their wins and how this mindset fuels burnout. More importantly, we'll give you practical, science-backed strategies to flip the script and start celebrating your victories—big and small! ✨ What You'll Learn Today: ✅ Why your brain is wired to focus on the negative (and how to retrain it!) ✅ The power of affirmative reflection—why asking “What went well today?” is a game-changer ✅ How writing down wins shifts your mindset and builds resilience ✅ The magic of peer support—why celebrating together makes all the difference ✅ How shifting from “I failed” to “I learned” can transform the way you see challenges We even bring in a Super Bowl-worthy mindset shift (thanks, Jalen Hurts!) to show how elite performers use self-reflection to come back stronger.

Segment 1 with Alphonsus Obayuwana starting at 00:29. If there is a happiness formula, I know that every Small biz owner would want to have that,In this segment I interview Alphonsus Obayuwana, MD, PhD, CPC, is a physician-scientist, a happiness coach, and the founder and CEO of Triple-H Project LLC. He is the author of The Happiness Formula: Using Science to Understand Personal Satisfaction, Human Hope, and Subjective Well-Being.Segment 2 with Jesse Kalsi starting at 18:43. I have always been fascinated by numerology and how it affects our world.In this segment. I talkes with Jesse Kalsi who is a world-renowned numerologist. He specializes in residential and business numerology and provides valuable insight on the power of numbers and how they affect our lives. In his books, The Power of Home Numbers and All About Numbers, he combines his Eastern upbringing with his Western experience to bring awareness and understanding of this phenomenon.

A scientific, groundbreaking approach to happiness and personal fulfillment. In 1979, Dr. Alphonsus Obayuwana was awarded a national research grant and Smith-Kline Medical Perspective Fellowship to develop an instrument for measuring human hope, with the purpose of detecting hopelessness early enough in troubled human individuals so assistance could be offered in time to prevent suicide. The Hope Index Scale (HIS) that resulted from this grant became very popular with Fortune 500 companies and other institutions both in the US and in other countries. This led to the foundation of decades of research that ultimately resulted in this cutting-edge book, The Happiness Formula: Using Science to Understand Personal Satisfaction, Human Hope, and Subjective Well-Being. Unlike other books about happiness, which are too often filled with dos and don'ts, wishful thinking, and empty aphorisms, The Happiness Formula breaks new ground by introducing a universal unit of measure called the “Personal Happiness Index” or PHI. This makes it possible—for the first time ever—to calculate and assign numerical happiness scores to human individuals by plugging their unique hopes, hungers, assets, and aspirations into an equation. Despite its title, The Happiness Formula is much more than a mathematical equation for measuring happiness. It is a book about life; the relationship between human hope and happiness; how to find, measure and boost them; and, most interestingly, how to confirm the happiest country in the world and even help identify the happiest living human, or HLH. It challenges the World Happiness Report of 2023, debunks three major happiness myths, and then introduces the Triple-H Equation—the simple but profound formula about what makes life worth living. This is a book for happiness seekers and happiness advocates everywhere.

As we navigate the winding and looping roads of life, it's easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle and lose sight of the present moment. Happiness isn't a destination we reach; it's a state of being we cultivate each day, right here, right now. It's about savoring the small joys, embracing life's imperfections, and finding peace amidst the chaos. Today, we'll explore the transformative power of mindfulness in shaping our perception of reality supporting us in cultivating long-lasting happiness in our lives. Listen up to this gem,Namaste listeners! GROW - CONNECT - PROFIT GROW  by learning about -Holding on to happiness;Awareness;Self-reflection;Self-acceptance and compassion;Releasing control;Boundaries with self and others;And more ...CONNECT  WITH MEWebsite: www.consciousmatters.coSay hi on Instagram: www.instagram.com/conscious.mattersSubscribe to Conscious Matters Youtube channel for more talks about empowerment through holistic wellnessShow your love for the podcast by leaving a review and following our socials.PROFITby reading the full blog post here: www.consciousmatters.co/podcastby reading the research papers mentioned: - "The Benefits of Self-Compassion and Mindfulness in Daily Life" by Neff and Germer (Journal of Happiness Studies).- "Counting Blessings Versus Burdens: An Experimental Investigation of Gratitude and Subjective Well-Being in Daily Life" by Emmons and McCullough (Journal of Personality and Social Psychology). SUPPORT this self-produced podcast:Leave a reviewSubscribe and ShareDonate here - https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/consciousmattersThank you!Support the show

Recent psychological studies find that gratitude can help us create, cultivate, and maintain the kinds of relationships that make life worth living. Other studies are finding that gratitude is far more complicated, and plays a nuanced role in our complex emotional lives. Research psychologist Jo-Ann Tsang (Baylor University) joins Ryan McAnnally-Linz to talk about the complicated emotional world that gratitude inhabits, the scientific study of giving thanks and the contexts where its prosocial or adaptive for us, the dark side of gratitude, and the role it plays in a life of flourishing. This episode was made possible in part by the support of the Gratitude to God Project.About  Jo-Ann TsangJo-Ann Tsang is a social psychologist, and is Associate Professor of Psychology in the Department of Psychology & Neuroscience at Baylor University.Show NotesGratitude to God Project Website: Psychological, Philosophical and Theological InvestigationsTryptophanic food coma dreams of John Madden ranting about football and turduckenDaniel Tiger: “Sometimes you feel two feelings at the same time, and that's okay.”Empirical psychological research on gratitudeIntrinsic vs instrumental reasons for being gratefulSelf-determination theoryThe downsides of gratitudeGratitude in marriage: matching affective responses of support and gratitude in relationshipsGratitude toward GodJulie Exline on Spiritual Struggle (link)“It's not always adaptive to be happy?”Prosocial behaviorFind, Remind, Bind TheoryWhat is pro-sociality?What is adaptivity?Happiness is not always adaptive.What's adaptive depends on your goal in a certain situation.Happiness and adaptivity as malleable concepts that depend on your definition of the good.Does gratitude reduce protest?Increased forgiveness and willingness to accept oppression rather than oppressionQuietism and perpetuating unjust structuresGratitude might put on the brakes for the motivation to protest or press for change“Give thanks in all things.” vs “Give thanks for all things.”“Life is complicated.”Gratitude doesn't rule out anger“How can I feel happy when there's all these bad things going on?”Is gratitude related to prejudice, stigma, or discrimination?Why is it we keep chasing after happiness?“If you're in a bad relationship, and gratitude's making you stick more strongly with that relationship partner, then that's not good.”The role of gratitude in a life worth livingProduction NotesThis podcast featured research psychologist Jo-Ann Tsang and theologian Ryan McAnnally-LinzEdited and Produced by Evan RosaHosted by Evan RosaProduction Assistance by Macie Bridge and Kaylen YunA Production of the Yale Center for Faith & Culture at Yale Divinity School https://faith.yale.edu/aboutSupport For the Life of the World podcast by giving to the Yale Center for Faith & Culture: https://faith.yale.edu/give

Thanksgiving has passed but hold on, don't stop giving thanks just yet.It's the holiday season, so you've probably seen a thousand cheesy posts on the internet, by now, about choosing gratitude or having a grateful heart and the like. Sometimes that does feel like a lot of woo-woo talk when you're facing the daily difficulties of life, doesn't it? But guys, we're here to tell you, those cheesy posts are actually on to something.Science backs this up so roll with us for a moment. This isn't about some fake sense of positivity. We don't want you to go about life NOT feeling what you experience. BUT, here's why gratitude is so important: It actually HELPS you deal with the negative.Here's the thing: we go through life picking and choosing what we notice and what we take in. Once you start noticing what you want to be grateful for, you'll start noticing more and more of them. It's like this upward spiral that you create for your brain. And guess what? When you are living that way, you have more capacity to deal with the negative things that DO hit you in life.When you're aligned with all the good that's happening in your life, when something bad happens, you're just starting at a point that's so much stronger and so much higher up than if you were constantly focused only on the negative. Listen to this episode for more on the science—and the balance between feeling what you feel but shifting towards gratitude anyway.To celebrate the launch of the Women Rewriting the Rules podcast, we want to pamper you with the BEST holiday giveaway we could think of! Click here to join."Give yourself the grace and space to sit in the reality of life and to fully express it and not force yourself to be grateful or feel happy.

É possível falar de Felicidade na Economia? Existem formas de a medir? Ter mais rendimento é sinónimo de Felicidade? As pessoas mais ricas de hoje são mais felizes que as pessoas ricas de há 100 anos? Este episódio arranca com a pergunta do Hugo van der Ding: ‘Joana, és feliz?'A Felicidade tem muito que se lhe diga e, na Economia, também: a Joana Pais que o diga. Em conjunto com o Hugo, irá desmistificar a ideia de que o rendimento é a única medida do bem-estar, explicando diferenças que parecem subtis como a de ser feliz na vida ou com a vida, ou a felicidade que se experimenta e a que se recorda. É verdade: por incrível que possa parecer, a Economia tem uma vasta área dedicada ao estudo da Felicidade.

Gratitude undeniably improves our well-being. Science proves it! Tune in this week for 10 ways to become more grateful. There are some interesting suggestions here – you don't want to miss it!   The Expert on Gratitude Robert Emmons, who has a PhD and is the leading scientific expert on gratitude, shares a lot of really good information. He is a Professor of Psychology at the University of California – Davis and the founding Editor-In-Chief of the Journal of Positive Psychology.  He has authored many books around gratitude and happiness and emotions and positivity, and this is his top 10 list for becoming more grateful.   Top 10 List for Becoming More Grateful Keep a gratitude journal. Establish a daily practice in which you remind yourself of the gifts, grace, benefits, and good things you enjoy. Setting aside time on a daily basis to recall moments of gratitude, associated with ordinary events, your personal attributes, or valued people in your life, give you the potential to interweave a sustainable life theme of gratefulness. Remember the bad. To be grateful in your current state, it is helpful to remember the hard times that you once experienced. When you remember how difficult life used to be and how far you have come, you set up an explicit contrast in your mind, and this contrast is fertile ground for gratefulness. Ask yourself three questions. Utilize the meditation technique known as Naikan, which involves reflecting on three questions: “What have I received from __?”, “What have I given to __?”, and “What troubles and difficulty have I caused?” Learn prayers of gratitude. In many spiritual traditions, prayers of gratitude are considered to be the most powerful form of prayer, because through these prayers, people recognize the ultimate source of all they are and all they will ever be. Come to your senses. Through our senses, the ability to touch, see, smell, taste, and hear, we gain an appreciation of what it means to be human and of what an incredible miracle it is to be alive. Seen through the lens of gratitude, the human body is not only a miraculous construction, but also a gift. Use visual reminders. Because the two primary obstacles to gratefulness are forgetfulness and the lack of mindful awareness, visual reminders can serve as cues to trigger thoughts of gratitude. Oftentimes, the best visual reminders are other people. Make a vow to practice gratitude. Research shows that making an oath to perform a behavior increases the likelihood that the action will be executed. Watch your language. Grateful people have a particular linguistic style that uses the language of gifts, givers, blessings, bless, fortune, fortunate, and abundance. In gratitude, you should not focus on how inherently good you are, but rather on the inherently good things that others have done on your behalf. Go through the motions. If you go through grateful motions, the emotion of gratitude should be triggered. Grateful motions include smiling, saying thank you, and writing letters of gratitude. Think outside the box. If you want to make the most out of opportunities to flex your gratitude muscles, you must creatively look for new situations and circumstances in which to feel grateful.   Homework from Jonathan: Exercising Your Gratitude Muscle According to UCLA's Mindfulness Awareness Research Center, having an attitude of gratitude changes the molecular structure of the brain, keeps the gray matter functioning, and makes us healthier and happier. When you feel happiness, the central nervous system is affected. You are more peaceful, less reactive, and less resistant. Now that's a really cool way of taking care of your well-being as you go through not just the holiday season but the rest of your life.   Joan Moran, from UCLA Recreation's FITWELL program, wrote an opinion piece in 2013 for the Huffington Post where she discussed positive benefits of an attitude of gratitude.   We want to help you exercise your Gratitude Muscle this holiday season! So, we're sharing her timeless tips with you today. And challenging YOU to incorporate this into a daily practice this holiday season….and beyond!   The following questions (and their honest answers) will help you grow your attitude of gratitude during the holidays:   Ask who in your life — past and present — has given you inspiration, motivation, love, support, and guidance. These people can be family, friends, teachers, mentors, or work colleagues. You carry these people around like angels on your shoulders because they are always giving you energy. Take a moment to acknowledge them and give thanks that that they are in your life. You can follow up with a note or phone call of thanks to let them know that they matter to you. Ask what skills, talents, personal characteristics, values, beliefs, and education opportunities you utilize every day and are you grateful for. The one stable gift that I am grateful for is my ability to teach. This is the gift I cannot live without because it leads to other fabulous learning and knowing experiences as well as different skill sets. You will recognize your greatest talents and gifts by reflecting on the values and beliefs that you live by and personal characteristics that you have developed. Ask yourself what gift keeps on giving for you. What gifts will change your life mightily?   Ask where you have been in your life that has deeply affected you emotionally, intellectually, physically or spiritually. In what ways have experiences outside your normal daily activities positively influenced your life? It is likely you have experienced some travel during your life. The places you visited, the people you met, perhaps from other cultures have broadened your life, influenced your view of the world and affected your sense of self within your community. Take time during the holidays and reflect on how these powerful experiences have shaped who you are today.   Ask how you normally express your gratitude. Do you express gratitude daily? And if you are not taking the time to do so, why not? It is easy to forget to say thank you because our lives are so busy and filled with “to-dos” and “musts.” Make it a habit at least twice a day to find a quiet place to pause and say thank you for your gifts. Reach out to friends by phone or email to say thank you to them for being in your life because they cherish you and give you support and love. Acknowledge and be grateful for your loving community.   Ask what negative situation could be a positive in your life. Why should you be grateful for the negative things that happen to you in life? Life isn't perfect. Bad stuff happens. But inside every negative experience is a positive experience waiting to happen. Eliminating the negative self-talk, you put yourself through develops stronger mental health habits. It allows you to become more accepting of everything that happens in life — the good, the bad, and the ugly. And the process of removing negativity creates the opportunity for growth and transformation.   Resources: Episode 59: Do This “One Thing” Every Day to Improve Your Emotional, Mental, and Physical Well Being Robert Emmons The Science of Gratitude by the Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkeley Pause, reflect and give thanks: the power of gratitude during the holidays UCLA's Mindfulness Awareness Research Center Counting Blessings Versus Burdens: An Experimental Investigation of Gratitude and Subjective Well-Being in Daily Life Expanding the Science and Practice of Gratitude Naikan Method Does gratitude writing improve the mental health of psychotherapy clients?

The clearest indicators of our financial solvency are based on the behaviors we exhibit with our investments. Dr. Daniel Crosby PhD is a psychologist, behavioral finance expert, asset manager and bestselling author of four books including “The Behavioral Investor”: https://amzn.to/3Bl4s3t. We examine with him the question of whether financial success ultimately brings us happiness? Surprisingly it can, but not in the ways that we think it does.  Having studied the growing list of 200 odd behavioral biases and heuristics, Daniel has whittled them down to what he describes as the four “Big Daddy” biases: ego, emotion, attention and conservatism. We learn about why these matter so much and interestingly what Coke Zero can teach us about our biases! Daniel touches on his other bestselling book “You're Not That Great”: https://amzn.to/3ifiRFC which refreshingly embraces the fact that we are in fact all fairly average! That self esteem is built not by awarding prizes for participation, but by taking a risk, working hard and acknowledging that occasionally we will fall flat on our face along the way! In our Grooving Session with Kurt and Tim, following our interview with Daniel we talk about the ways that we can apply Daniel's insights to improve our wellbeing and our relationships. [Tim quotes the infamous “Man in the Arena '' quote from Theodore Roosevelt but apologies, we incorrectly credited the quote to Eisenhower, not Roosevelt in the episode.]  If you would like to invest in the work that Behavioral Grooves does to bring you interviews like Daniels every week, please support our Patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/behavioralgrooves thank you.

Kurt and Tim discuss the links between poverty and mental health, how higher income is linked to better well-being, and the idea of a Universal Basic Income. This is a free-flowing discussion delving into the insights from their most recent interview with Johannes Haushofer (episode #244), Assistant Professor of Economics at Stockholm University. While you are welcome to listen to this episode as a stand-alone, we recommend you download our interview with Johannes first before joining us here.  Topics You Will Learn About: Higher income being related to better well-being. The effects of poverty on cognitive function, creativity, stress, health and long-term outcome decisions. Universal Basic Income; the behavior changes it could induce. The replication crisis of research studies in psychology. The value of Johannes studying poverty outside of WEIRD countries. “So there was a pretty strong relationship between income and happiness, both within and across countries. Rich people are happier than poor people within the same country. But also richer countries, on average, are happier than poor countries.” ~ Johannes Haushofer quote from Behavioral Grooves podcast interview.

What link is there between happiness and income? Does winning the lottery make you happier? What does the research say about poverty and our mental health?  Our guest on this episode has researched the psychological effects money has on our wellbeing and on our society. Johannes Haushofer is the Assistant Professor of Economics at Stockholm University and has taught at Princeton University for the past six years.  Johannes realized that not enough research on these topics has been conducted outside of the Western, educated, industrialized, rich and democratic countries (WEIRD countries). So he founded the Busara Center for Behavioral Economics in Nairobi, Kenya: https://busaracenter.org/. We talk with him about how he founded the center and what research he has been able to do there. A few years ago, in an effort to make a friend feel better Johannes published his ‘CV of Failures' that detailed every degree program that had rejected him and all the research funding he didn't get. It went viral as people lapped up the counterintuitive idea of celebrating failure.   Despite having a well published list of failures, Johannes has a multitude of successes. One of which is that he is a serious vocalist with access to a deeper range in his lower voice known as the vocal fry register. We have a great discussion about the central role that music has played in his life. Topics We Discuss with Johannes (2:21) Welcome and speed round questions.

I dette podcastafsnit får vært Martin Ågerup besøg af Otto Brøns-Petersen, der er uddannet cand.polit. og arbejder som analysechef hos CEPOS. Afsnittet tager udgangspunkt i økonomisk vækst og belyser den vækstkrise som Danmark og flere andre vestlige lande (måske) befinder sig i. Derudover taler Martin Ågerup og Otto Brøns-Petersen bl.a. om vækstudviklingen de seneste 100 år og gennemgår flere vækstrelaterede spørgsmål: Hvordan øges produktiviteten i Danmark? Kan væksten være for høj? Hvilken betydning har omfordeling og vækst for indkomstfremgangen for de fattigste? Og hvad er sammenhængen mellem vækst, miljø og klima?  Lyt til afsnittet og hør Otto Brøns-Petersens bud på, hvordan levestandarden øges for den danske befolkning.  Kontakt til podcastvært Martin Ågerup: martin@CEPOS.dk   Links: Bjørnskov, Christian (2013) ”Ny viden om lykke og økonomi”, Punditokraterne, 7. maj: http://punditokraterne.dk/2013/05/07/ny-viden-om-lykke-og-okonomi/ (http://punditokraterne.dk/2013/05/07/ny-viden-om-lykke-og-okonomi/).  Brøns-Petersen, Otto og Bostrup, Thomas D.

Gratitude undeniably improves our well-being. Science proves it! Tune in this week for 10 ways to become more grateful. There are some interesting suggestions here - you don’t want to miss it! The Expert on Gratitude Robert Emmons, who has a PhD and is the leading scientific expert on gratitude, shares a lot of really good information. He is a Professor of Psychology at the University of California – Davis and the founding Editor-In-Chief of the Journal of Positive Psychology.  He has authored many books around gratitude and happiness and emotions and positivity, and this is his top 10 list for becoming more grateful.    Top 10 List for Becoming More Grateful Keep a gratitude journal. Establish a daily practice in which you remind yourself of the gifts, grace, benefits, and good things you enjoy. Setting aside time on a daily basis to recall moments of gratitude, associated with ordinary events, your personal attributes, or valued people in your life, give you the potential to interweave a sustainable life theme of gratefulness.  Remember the bad. To be grateful in your current state, it is helpful to remember the hard times that you once experienced. When you remember how difficult life used to be and how far you have come, you set up an explicit contrast in your mind, and this contrast is fertile ground for gratefulness.  Ask yourself three questions. Utilize the meditation technique known as Naikan, which involves reflecting on three questions: “What have I received from __?”, “What have I given to __?”, and “What troubles and difficulty have I caused?” Learn prayers of gratitude. In many spiritual traditions, prayers of gratitude are considered to be the most powerful form of prayer, because through these prayers, people recognize the ultimate source of all they are and all they will ever be. Come to your senses. Through our senses, the ability to touch, see, smell, taste, and hear, we gain an appreciation of what it means to be human and of what an incredible miracle it is to be alive. Seen through the lens of gratitude, the human body is not only a miraculous construction, but also a gift.  Use visual reminders. Because the two primary obstacles to gratefulness are forgetfulness and the lack of mindful awareness, visual reminders can serve as cues to trigger thoughts of gratitude. Oftentimes, the best visual reminders are other people. Make a vow to practice gratitude. Research shows that making an oath to perform a behavior increases the likelihood that the action will be executed. Watch your language. Grateful people have a particular linguistic style that uses the language of gifts, givers, blessings, bless, fortune, fortunate, and abundance. In gratitude, you should not focus on how inherently good you are, but rather on the inherently good things that others have done on your behalf. Go through the motions. If you go through grateful motions, the emotion of gratitude should be triggered. Grateful motions include smiling, saying thank you, and writing letters of gratitude.  Think outside the box. If you want to make the most out of opportunities to flex your gratitude muscles, you must creatively look for new situations and circumstances in which to feel grateful.   Homework from Jonathan: Exercising Your Gratitude Muscle According to UCLA's Mindfulness Awareness Research Center, having an attitude of gratitude changes the molecular structure of the brain, keeps the gray matter functioning, and makes us healthier and happier. When you feel happiness, the central nervous system is affected. You are more peaceful, less reactive, and less resistant. Now that's a really cool way of taking care of your well-being as you go through not just the holiday season but the rest of your life.   Joan Moran, from UCLA Recreation’s FITWELL program, wrote an opinion piece in 2013 for the Huffington Post where she discussed positive benefits of an attitude of gratitude.   We want to help you exercise your Gratitude Muscle this holiday season! So, we’re sharing her timeless tips with you today. And challenging YOU to incorporate this into a daily practice this holiday season….and beyond!   The following questions (and their honest answers) will help you grow your attitude of gratitude during the holidays:   Ask who in your life — past and present — has given you inspiration, motivation, love, support, and guidance. These people can be family, friends, teachers, mentors, or work colleagues. You carry these people around like angels on your shoulders because they are always giving you energy. Take a moment to acknowledge them and give thanks that that they are in your life. You can follow up with a note or phone call of thanks to let them know that they matter to you. Ask what skills, talents, personal characteristics, values, beliefs, and education opportunities you utilize every day and are you grateful for. The one stable gift that I am grateful for is my ability to teach. This is the gift I cannot live without because it leads to other fabulous learning and knowing experiences as well as different skill sets. You will recognize your greatest talents and gifts by reflecting on the values and beliefs that you live by and personal characteristics that you have developed. Ask yourself what gift keeps on giving for you. What gifts will change your life mightily?   Ask where you have been in your life that has deeply affected you emotionally, intellectually, physically or spiritually. In what ways have experiences outside your normal daily activities positively influenced your life? It is likely you have experienced some travel during your life. The places you visited, the people you met, perhaps from other cultures have broadened your life, influenced your view of the world and affected your sense of self within your community. Take time during the holidays and reflect on how these powerful experiences have shaped who you are today.   Ask how you normally express your gratitude. Do you express gratitude daily? And if you are not taking the time to do so, why not? It is easy to forget to say thank you because our lives are so busy and filled with "to-dos" and "musts." Make it a habit at least twice a day to find a quiet place to pause and say thank you for your gifts. Reach out to friends by phone or email to say thank you to them for being in your life because they cherish you and give you support and love. Acknowledge and be grateful for your loving community.   Ask what negative situation could be a positive in your life. Why should you be grateful for the negative things that happen to you in life? Life isn't perfect. Bad stuff happens. But inside every negative experience is a positive experience waiting to happen. Eliminating the negative self-talk, you put yourself through develops stronger mental health habits. It allows you to become more accepting of everything that happens in life — the good, the bad, and the ugly. And the process of removing negativity creates the opportunity for growth and transformation.   * * *   Deeper Dive Resources Episode 59: Do This “One Thing” Every Day to Improve Your Emotional, Mental, and Physical Well Being https://organixx.com/empowering-you-organically/improve-your-emotional-mental-and-physical-well-being-episode-59/   Robert Emmons https://greatergood.berkeley.edu/profile/robert_emmons   The Science of Gratitude by the Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkeley https://ggsc.berkeley.edu/images/uploads/GGSC-JTF_White_Paper-Gratitude-FINAL.pdf   Pause, reflect and give thanks: the power of gratitude during the holidays http://newsroom.ucla.edu/stories/gratitude-249167   UCLA’s Mindfulness Awareness Research Center http://marc.ucla.edu/   Counting Blessings Versus Burdens: An Experimental Investigation of Gratitude and Subjective Well-Being in Daily Life https://greatergood.berkeley.edu/images/application_uploads/Emmons-CountingBlessings.pdf   Expanding the Science and Practice of Gratitude https://ggsc.berkeley.edu/what_we_do/major_initiatives/expanding_gratitude   Naikan Method https://www.naikan.eu/english/naikan-why.html   Does gratitude writing improve the mental health of psychotherapy clients?

These people can be family, friends, teachers, mentors, or work colleagues. You carry these people around like angels on your shoulders because they are always giving you energy. Take a moment to acknowledge them and give thanks that that they are in your life. You can follow up with a note or phone call of thanks to let them know that they matter to you. Ask what skills, talents, personal characteristics, values, beliefs, and education opportunities you utilize every day and are you grateful for. The one stable gift that I am grateful for is my ability to teach. This is the gift I cannot live without because it leads to other fabulous learning and knowing experiences as well as different skill sets. You will recognize your greatest talents and gifts by reflecting on the values and beliefs that you live by and personal characteristics that you have developed. Ask yourself what gift keeps on giving for you. What gifts will change your life mightily?   Ask where you have been in your life that has deeply affected you emotionally, intellectually, physically or spiritually. In what ways have experiences outside your normal daily activities positively influenced your life? It is likely you have experienced some travel during your life. The places you visited, the people you met, perhaps from other cultures have broadened your life, influenced your view of the world and affected your sense of self within your community. Take time during the holidays and reflect on how these powerful experiences have shaped who you are today.   Ask how you normally express your gratitude. Do you express gratitude daily? And if you are not taking the time to do so, why not? It is easy to forget to say thank you because our lives are so busy and filled with "to-dos" and "musts." Make it a habit at least twice a day to find a quiet place to pause and say thank you for your gifts. Reach out to friends by phone or email to say thank you to them for being in your life because they cherish you and give you support and love. Acknowledge and be grateful for your loving community.   Ask what negative situation could be a positive in your life. Why should you be grateful for the negative things that happen to you in life? Life isn't perfect. Bad stuff happens. But inside every negative experience is a positive experience waiting to happen. Eliminating the negative self-talk, you put yourself through develops stronger mental health habits. It allows you to become more accepting of everything that happens in life — the good, the bad, and the ugly. And the process of removing negativity creates the opportunity for growth and transformation.   * * *   Deeper Dive Resources   Robert Emmons https://greatergood.berkeley.edu/profile/robert_emmons   The Science of Gratitude by the Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkeley https://ggsc.berkeley.edu/images/uploads/GGSC-JTF_White_Paper-Gratitude-FINAL.pdf   Pause, reflect and give thanks: the power of gratitude during the holidays http://newsroom.ucla.edu/stories/gratitude-249167   UCLA’s Mindfulness Awareness Research Center http://marc.ucla.edu/   Counting Blessings Versus Burdens: An Experimental Investigation of Gratitude and Subjective Well-Being in Daily Life https://greatergood.berkeley.edu/images/application_uploads/Emmons-CountingBlessings.pdf   Expanding the Science and Practice of Gratitude https://ggsc.berkeley.edu/what_we_do/major_initiatives/expanding_gratitude   Naikan Method https://www.naikan.eu/english/naikan-why.html   Does gratitude writing improve the mental health of psychotherapy clients?

He is a Professor of Psychology at the University of California – Davis and the founding Editor-In-Chief of the Journal of Positive Psychology.  He has authored many books around gratitude and happiness and emotions and positivity, and this is his top 10 list for becoming more grateful.    Top 10 List for Becoming More Grateful Keep a gratitude journal. Establish a daily practice in which you remind yourself of the gifts, grace, benefits, and good things you enjoy. Setting aside time on a daily basis to recall moments of gratitude, associated with ordinary events, your personal attributes, or valued people in your life, give you the potential to interweave a sustainable life theme of gratefulness.  Remember the bad. To be grateful in your current state, it is helpful to remember the hard times that you once experienced. When you remember how difficult life used to be and how far you have come, you set up an explicit contrast in your mind, and this contrast is fertile ground for gratefulness.  Ask yourself three questions. Utilize the meditation technique known as Naikan, which involves reflecting on three questions: “What have I received from __?”, “What have I given to __?”, and “What troubles and difficulty have I caused?” Learn prayers of gratitude. In many spiritual traditions, prayers of gratitude are considered to be the most powerful form of prayer, because through these prayers, people recognize the ultimate source of all they are and all they will ever be. Come to your senses. Through our senses, the ability to touch, see, smell, taste, and hear, we gain an appreciation of what it means to be human and of what an incredible miracle it is to be alive. Seen through the lens of gratitude, the human body is not only a miraculous construction, but also a gift.  Use visual reminders. Because the two primary obstacles to gratefulness are forgetfulness and the lack of mindful awareness, visual reminders can serve as cues to trigger thoughts of gratitude. Oftentimes, the best visual reminders are other people. Make a vow to practice gratitude. Research shows that making an oath to perform a behavior increases the likelihood that the action will be executed. Watch your language. Grateful people have a particular linguistic style that uses the language of gifts, givers, blessings, bless, fortune, fortunate, and abundance. In gratitude, you should not focus on how inherently good you are, but rather on the inherently good things that others have done on your behalf. Go through the motions. If you go through grateful motions, the emotion of gratitude should be triggered. Grateful motions include smiling, saying thank you, and writing letters of gratitude.  Think outside the box. If you want to make the most out of opportunities to flex your gratitude muscles, you must creatively look for new situations and circumstances in which to feel grateful.   Homework from Jonathan: Exercising Your Gratitude Muscle According to UCLA's Mindfulness Awareness Research Center, having an attitude of gratitude changes the molecular structure of the brain, keeps the gray matter functioning, and makes us healthier and happier. When you feel happiness, the central nervous system is affected. You are more peaceful, less reactive, and less resistant. Now that's a really cool way of taking care of your well-being as you go through not just the holiday season but the rest of your life. Joan Moran, from UCLA Recreation’s FITWELL program, wrote an opinion piece in 2013 for the Huffington Post where she discussed positive benefits of an attitude of gratitude. We want to help you exercise your Gratitude Muscle this holiday season! So, we’re sharing her timeless tips with you today.

Show Notes for Genuine Driven Women Episode #18 On today’s show we talk about how you can drive up the ladder of success while you are stuck in traffic.    According to the 2012-2016 American Community Survey 5-year estimates, the average commute time for people in the US is 26.1minutes and rising.  The definition of a “commuter” is anyone who does not work at home.  In some highly populated areas, the average commute times are as high as 40+ minutes. If this is the average, it means there are a LOT of people who commute for a much longer time. Also, in some cities, up to 31% of their population commutes via public transportation. There is another category, they are called “Super Commuters.”  They spend 90 minutes or more, each way, commuting to work. In a lot of cases, these people will frequently rent a very cheap room or studio apartment and stay overnight during the work week.   According to a Zillow Study in 2015, commute times for higher-income earners hasn’t changed too much over the past 10 years, but commutes are getting longer and longer for low-income workers. This is primarily because affordable housing is getting pushed farther and farther out from high economic centers or job locations. The most important thing all of this data is telling us is that there is a very high chance that you could be spending 10% of your waking hours commuting to and from work. There are some ways you could reduce your commuting time:     Move closer to work     Change jobs     Work out a flex-time schedule with your company     Telecommuting     Become an entrepreneur and start your own at home business While all of these options may offer some relief, the reality is that a lot of you will continue to be commuters, so it is important to come to terms with that and find ways to make it a much more enjoyable experience and start to look at it as an opportunity. You can use that commute as a one of the tools in your transformation to who you want to be 2, 5, or ten years from now.   The reality is that women, especially Driven Women, are much more impacted by their commute than men are. Your commute may cause you stress or other health related concerns.   The impact of constant stress on our health is discussed every day in the news. In a study titled, “Developments in the Measurement of Subjective Well-Being,” published in the Winter 2006 edition of the Journal of Economic Perspectives, there is a report about “a day in the life” of 909 employed women in Texas. There are a couple of important components to increasing how you feel about your commute:  Autonomy (a feeling a freedom) and how connected you feel while commuting. 1.  Autonomy, as it relates to commuting: A Harvard Business Review article, “Reclaim your commute” discussed that you should “focus on what you can control: how you spend your time during the trip.”   2.  Feeling Connected while commuting:   Using Waze or other traffic applications:  “Waze specifically enables commuters to share real-time user-generated travel information such as traffic jams, police, accident, hazard, chit chat, and other.” Waze will reroute you if a better route is found while you are in transit.     How you can directly impact your success at work with an improvement in how you spend your time while you are commuting. In a study titled, “Commuting as Role Transitions: How Trait Self-Control and Work-related Prospection Offset Negative Effects of Lengthy Commutes,” by Jon M. Jachimowicz and Julia L. Lee, they found that “people with higher degrees of self-control use their commute to more effectively transition from their home to their work role, and consequently are less adversely affected by the commuting experience.” And, conversely - that people with low self-control are negatively affected by their commutes.   Here are ten (10) ideas, along with some tools that will help you use your commute to drive yourself up the ladder of success:   Planning your day – main goals, conversations you need to have Use tools such as Apple’s Siri or Google’s voice assistant to go over your calendar. Use tools such as Evernote’s dictation feature to capture to-do’s or ideas you have while you are driving.    Use a workflow application to set up an automatic workflow of some of these tasks so you can accomplish them completely hands free. Listen to Podcasts and audiobooks, these will allow you to drive while Learning new ideas or skills. Brainstorm ideas on something that has been challenging you Practice your introduction if you need to give a brief to a large group Learn to speak a new language. Clearing your head Setting your mindset, one example is to make a playlist of music based on mood, energetic, motivational, driven, etc.   I have an example of a “Genuine Driven Women” Playlist on Spotify that you may enjoy. You spend way too much of your valuable time commuting to not spend some of it planning for the better version of you.  Your future self will thank you for the time you spend today! Time Machine:   In this segment each week we will give a few points about women that have accomplished a lot! We also will discuss a bit about what was happening to women during the time periods.

This week's interview episode features Dev Jana, one half of the team behind Newt One, a non-violent music-infused 3D platformer. We talk with Dev about how Newt One transformed (through continuous iteration) from a "Mario 64" clone into a game where "there are no bad guys" and nothing you do can hurt anything. We also discuss the purpose and use of violence in video games, including the games we're all working on. When can violence be utilized effectively though mechanics and story? And when is it simply an lazy way to build tension and create challenge for the player?
