  • What you can do to raise level of happiness is the key question we need to ask – as Happiness is a choice and it is the efforts we put in makes a difference.
  • The exact question is what I can do to be happy at this moment. – it is not about the comparison to when I was the most happy or not about should.
  • Strategy for Happiness: – Eliminate Negative noise – when you sleep less and are bombarded with lot of negative news, then your brain feels that it is in threatening situation. – (a) Turn on radio in the morning – (b) don’t watch news, read online – so you can choose what to read and what not to read.

(c ) Focus on the positive news – things like scientific discovery – etc., The idea is that I am not absorbed with things that I cannot control

  • Don’t check your emails before going to sleep – for example after 9pm 
  • Worrying is not love
  • Think create positive in other people lives
  • The way pessimist think is that their behaviors don’t matter – while optimists believes that their behavior matters.
  • When things like we hear that our department is going to be shut down, or the company has hired a new sales person in your department, etc.,

What should you do:

  • Stop dress harassing my brain from what tragedy happened – stop thinking what will happen with my life
  •  Is this information valid and accurate – go to the senior leadership if this information is true or not
  • look for the best alternative – if this information is valid, what is the best option in this situation. – What are the actions I can do best in the present situation to be in the better situation if that eventuality occurs?
  • Link with other people around me – establish social connections. 
  • When we feel helpless, it is to find ways to help others empowers us to be positive.
