Happiness in Your Career Leads to Success

 Being Happy in Your Career Life Enables You to be Successful


According to Positive psychology researcher, Shawn Achor (author of the Happiness Advantage), evidence shows that happiness leads to success and not the other way around.  This suggests the powerful role that seeking and cultivating happiness play in our career lives.  

Most of us enjoy using our talents and skills that enable us to feel accomplished. Using our strengths promotes positive motivation to achieve and be our best. 

We tend to enjoy work even more when that work satisfies a sense of meaning and purpose. It enables us to feel authentic and fulfilled.

When you believe it  possible to do what you want, you are likely to find it.  

Here is my mindfulness model to engage with yourself to achieve your career satisfaction and success:

Acknowledge: Engage with yourself and recognize what gives you a sense of purpose and what talents and skills you enjoy using

Assess: Determine what you want and need to feel happy, motivated and fulfilled in your work

Address: Take action in line with your intention to feel happy and fulfilled.

Welcome 2023 With Gratitude from 2022

  THE BENEFIT OF GRATITUDE  Being Grateful for 2022 Helps Usher in 2023 As 2022 comes to a close, it it helpful to reflect on how we were successful in getting through the year. It is important to note that using a positive lens through which to evaluate what has transpired and where we have landed does not require us to ignore the painful or challenging experiences.  It is healthy to acknowledge problems and negative situations.  However, it is unhealthy to give those events and situations all of the power.  That is what happens when we narrow our lens and focus only or primarily on the pain of hurtful events. A healthy attitude enables us to desire to be whole, feel well and move on. Psychological researchers have found that the practice of gratitude is helpful in switching our perspective from one of problem to solution and building the resilience to overcome the negative impact of hurtful events.  Specifically, the attitude of gratitude is the ability t...
