Positive Make-Over: Assessment by a qualified dietician including blood profiles. Prescription nutritional supplements to assist in weight loss and overall wellness. Most people would like live a happier life but few know how to make it happen. Happiness is a conscious choice or positive mindset, and it can be easily attained by training. Most of us grew up believing that if you work hard, you will be happy. The new Science of Happiness, Positive Psychology, has found that the reverse is true: if you have a happy or positive mindset before starting a task, you increase your success by up to fifty percent. Research has found that we are 'hard wired' to perform optimally when we are happy or experiencing positive emotion. Both adults and children are able to diagnose problems fifty percent more accurately by starting off with a positive mindset, and we also experience a three times increase in our intellectual flexibility as a result of positive emotion. In short, their happiness contributed to better lives. In business, positive people make more money, find it easier to land a job, are better at keeping their jobs, have superior productivity, have more resilience, suffer less burn-out, take fewer sick days throughout the year, have superior performance, show less turnover and perform better at sales because they are perceived to be more charismatic, more attractive, more trustworthy and more persuasive than less positive peers. Over 200 studies on 275 000 people worldwide share findings consisent with the fact that happiness leads to success in almost every walk of life: work, health, friendship, personal relationships, sociability, creativity and energy. Cultivating positive brains makes us more motivated, efficient, resilient, creative and productive. We can choose to THRIVE: to discover our character strengths and learn the skills to make positive choices in all aspects of our lives. Our previous blogs about pathways to happiness focused on positive thoughts and experiences within ourselves. Ed Diener’s research tells us that positive relationships contribute to positive experiences. He believes that a positive greeting involves three pathways to happiness: pleasure, engagement and meaning. If we greet someone or say goodbye to them, use their name, shake their hand or pat their shoulder, we create a pleasant physical response in ourselves and in the person being greeted. People who spend more time with others are happier than those who spend a lot of time alone. People who have many friends are happier than those who have only a few. When people are immersed in doing something they love doing, benefits such as good health, longevity and fulfilling personal relationships become much more readily attainable. People in the Zone are normally busy doing something that they are really good at. So if you ever wanted a clue about what you are best at, think back of the times you have found yourself in the Zone and try to remember what you were busy doing at the time. When one is so totally immersed in an activity there is not much room for feeling anything. The act of reflecting back on the intense immersion is a joy-promoting activity of itself.
