According
to the latest research by the Department of Economics, University of Warwick,
happiness makes people more productive at work. This can be achieved by focusing on a memory
that triggers a sense of happiness, joy orexcitement. Hence, forward thinking companies such as
Google have invested more in employee support and a happier culture at work
where positive result have shown employee satisfaction rising by 37% (Prof
Andrew Oswald, “Happiness and Productivity”)
A
happier workforce is more productive. However,
cultivating happiness is not an overnight process. In order to become happier, we need to work at
it and be consistent. Keep focusing on
the positives in our lives and things that makes us feel grateful. Gratitude is such highly positive emotion that
can make a person instantly more mentally positive.
Breathing
techniques are also incredibly effective tool in cultivating mindfulness force
in our lives with the ability to cultivate a winning attitude, even in the face
of adversity.
When
we caught up with stress, we are involved in ‘doing’ rather than “living”. We become so entrenched in reaching for out of
balance it is important to take a step back and recognise the important to
connect with a sense of inspiration and joy so that life flows and excites with
rather than drags you down with all its responsibilities.
Some
are so used to being exposed to such a high level of stress every day that they
become immune to the pressures they are living with. They are like a wheel in constant motion and
they run the risk of burnout because there’s only so much one can take before
they run out of steam altogether. They
have forgotten how to slow down or really relax and need to give themselves
permission to really enjoy life.
It
is the silence which speaks volumes that can really show us what is going on in
our inner world
