From the perspective of positive psychology, there is a well-being formula invested by Martin Seligman to achieve a higher well-being. Martin Seligman (2010) defined as happiness: H (to maintain the length of happiness) = S (happy range breadth) + V (you can control the factors) + C (your living environment). Happy length: the distinction between "temporary" happy and "persistent" happy. Temporary happiness can be achieved by food, comedy, bunch of flowers. While the persistence of happiness is mainly affected by genetic, and this genetic trait can be changed. The breadth of happiness: psychologists think that we are born with a happy constant point, like a thermometer. If there is a happier thing, even if we are upset, it will be dedicated …show more content…
Own control of the factors: whether the past satisfaction or not, whether to be grateful and forgiving, whether the current satisfaction, whether the future is optimistic and so on. Because a depressed person, full of minds are past unhappy memories, despair of the future, or suspicion of their ability, learning how to refute these pessimistic explanations, or to change the interpretation of these events can make people out of frustration, and thanksgiving and forgiveness can amplify the benefits of lifting bad things on their own influence, and even bad memories into good. Living environment: money, marriage, social life, negative emotions, age, health, education, climate and gender, religion, etc., are factors that may affect your happiness. And it is worth noting that the study found that low income will lead to poor health, divorce, and loneliness to bring the spirit of pain, but the more money is not necessary …show more content…
These are optimistic strategies. Optimistic attitude is not just a glimpse of the present and the past, but also expected to have a wonderful future. Thirdly, we should avoid thinking too much of the comparison with society; too much thinking will keep people sad or worse, encourage negative thoughts, reduce the ability to solve problems, make people no motivation. Comparing with the upper people can lead to inferiority, distress or self-esteem; and comparing with the lower people can lead to a sense of guilt and fear of suffering the same (bad) fate. Fourthly, we can improve well-being by doing good things. Doing good is not only good for the recipient, but also for those who do good. Maybe it sounds a bit ironic, but even if you are reluctant to report, as long as you are willing to do good, willing to help others, this will make you to get more happiness. Fifthly, we can cultivate the interpersonal relationships, if you start to improve and nurture relationships from today, you will get positive emotions. In turn, a happier feeling will help you to attract higher quality relationships, which will make you happier; this is a virtuous circle. Sixthly, we should have a strategy for
Ben-Shahar speaks correctly while discussing how individuals must give themselves permission to experience negative feelings before they reach the point where they can completely experience the positive feelings. Therefore, positive feelings are inadvertently blocked by negative feelings. Dr. Mathieu (2011) from Psychology Today, discusses how “providing so many positive solutions can inadvertently blame people for their suffering” (para. 3). Henceforth, whenever people see articles on being happy and social media posts where everyone has their happiest face on, they do not accept the it is okay to have negative feelings as well. Ben-Shahar discusses how many people feel inferior while experiencing negative feelings, but in reality every person except the dead and psychopathic experience the same feelings. Counseling Directory (2016) identifies that “we are continually setting ourselves up to fail” (para. 5). Furthermore, acting as part of the human race means that individuals are imperfect. Striving to reach perfection is the beginning of failure because of the impossibility forever block the
On 06/16/2018 at about 2345 hours, Officer Deltoro (P#2509) and I were dispatched to 4812 Crystal Sword Street in reference to a 911 disconnect. While en route North Las Vegas Dispatch advised a male and female could be heard in the background yelling.
2a. Habituation is when the response to a certain stimuli decrease when it becomes frequent. For example, when I first moved into my apartment I would always hear the train at nighttime and it would keep me up or wake me up when it would start passing by. After a month or so, my body stopped responding to the train blowing its horn when it would pass. It is an appropriate example because after I became habituated to the sound, I started getting more sleep and more sleep meant a restful night to recharge for the next day.
The data have information from two courses taught during the 2014/15 academic years with a combined enrollment of 76 students. These courses have a similar structure in that they met on Monday, Wednesday and Friday for 10 weeks and they both require students to complete online quizzes prior to each class. In addition, the final grade of both courses is composed of operating grades, midterms, and final exams. That is, there will be more than one factor to affect the final grade in these courses. In order to protect students, all students are shown in the database as ID number instead of their real names.
I signed up for the Recording Technology degree because I felt that I would learn valuable information in this class. My long term goal is to actually be a music producer, but since record companies and studios are starting to go out of business, I figured it would be useful to learn some tips that could at least let me work in the realm of music until I finally get a shot to produce music for a living.
In a 24 hour period my initial pricing was $7.27; I was not surprised as to how much I spent on a daily basis. From a very young age, when my mother would grocery shop she was very frugal on what she would buy and how much she spent. We never had name brand labels, always the off brand product and we had canned vegetables(not to say we didn't have a lot of fresh vegetables too), from this I learned how unimportant it was to buy name brand food, just because of the brand. So now as I spend my money, I am more aware of what I buy and how much I spend. On a regular basis, my mother and I shop at the 99 Cent Store, this is a chain store that offers produce, refrigerated foods and other products for either 99 cents or a little above that price (ex:milk=$2.99). Therefore, I believe I got an advantage when assigned this experiment; because I knew where to get cheap products that would put me under $5 a day. Even though I was not excited when getting this assignment because I knew I would have to
We are creating a car seat addition that will change the car seat industry. It will protect the children from creating a mess on the car seat buckles and themselves. It will help decrease the chances of getting a button malfunction due to liquids or materials getting within the car seat buckles. Our goals are just to create this product and enhance the car seats, which will give the parents a satisfaction knowing that the car seats are not being destroyed by the substances, and materials that the child spills. We also want to make this product sold around the U.S but hope to at least sell the product globally. I believe that our three stakeholders will be reasonable. The stakeholders will be the owners, the suppliers and the employees. Our
When I first learned that the second unit would be about writing in different genres I was totally confused. What did this mean? Would I be doing different writings of mystery, romance or science fiction? That was my only small narrow view of what a genre is. I have now come to learn that a genre is not only simply whether something is fiction or nonfiction but a genre is different types of writing from a recipe to a resume. I have come to learn that there are so many different types of genres all unique in their own respect and all written from a different perspective.
First off, I have to say in my ENTIRE professional career, I've NEVER seen such a creatively powerful professional profile picture than what you are displaying! "HATS OFF TO YOU"
Teachers are in a profession that requires a lifelong approach to learning; the direction of this unit is at exploring one's own capabilities, and to start scaffolding our own learning. Knowing what one can do, can direct one to further improvements (Dinham, 2014, pp. 62-63). This unit is a great start to personal learning of the arts. There is evidence of improvement of learning and have responded to the above in an appropriate way with in text references, in a creative thinking self-expression meaning making of ideas.
Communication has been a real asset to humankind by having the capacity to exchange data starting with one then onto the next. While numerous diverse structures exist, for example, gesture-based communication, talking, and non-verbal communication, it is telecom that has changed the world all through the last hundred or more years. The information transfers framework has three separate things with a particular end goal to transmit what will exhibited. Person begin by the source or transmitter, which is then put into a medium or correspondence line, and ultimately there is a sink, or beneficiary that the data is yielded
A philosopher, John Stuart Mill, wrote an autobiography dedicated to the topic of his own mental health and life. Through this he offered a new way to see happiness and how to truly achieve it. According to Mill happiness can’t be achieved by simply wanting it, instead you have to do things for others to become happy. He also wrote about the fact that if you question your own happiness you’ll never be happy. I agree with Mill, due to my own personal experiences that helped me find happiness through my own bout with depression. I found that the reason I couldn’t escape the depression was the fact that I kept questioning my own happiness and how others were so much happier than me, I grew bitter and angry, tightening the grip my depression
Whether its hitting a home run or smelling flowers, every single person has something that makes them happy. Finding those moments and enjoying them is what leaves people feeling content with life. The reason being content with life leaves numerous people delighted is because for that split second, they have nothing else in the world to worry about. In addition to being content, people are stress free in times of happiness. Given that people who are joyful are likely stress free, stress is going to cause unhappiness. Chronic stressful life situations can actually lead to the development of depression if you don’t cope with the stress (Stress Management 1). Therefore, people how have less stress often feel more content with life, which, in turn, leaves them more happy. In order to battle stress, people look for help from others or reach out to fictitious thoughts. Nobody is better at helping each other out than
There is much research that suggests that happiness is also a means toward higher levels of overall success. Using positive psychology can promote happiness, which, in return, will lead to more overall success in an individual’s life (Ben-Shahar 2007). By using the positive psychology approach an individual can lower stress while improving personal biological and spiritual health.
In today’s society, we are relentlessly bombarded with annoying phrases like “things aren’t so bad” or “look on the bright side of life”. (Inside Out Review, 2015). Our brains are wired to think that the optimal level of happiness is achieved when we refuse to think negatively. However, adopting this type of attitude can result in just the opposite of happiness. Having a sense of optimism, especially on a good day almost feels like bliss. However, on a bad day, pushing away any insignificant hint of sadness you may be feeling can put you at an ultimate low. I compare this to the story told by James Baldwin entitled, “Sonny’s Blues”. The author uses a close family member to convey the damaging
