Certain things get better with age. Coffee cod, which remained on her car console a few days ago, accidentally sipped early.

As members of Gen X (i.e., born before 1980), we have come to realize that certain aspects of our lives have changed. No, it’s not just our bodies. Our attitudes and feelings about things that matter to us have also changed. These changes were ice ages, but at the time of reflection, they are fundamental to our overall well-being.

Researchers are I’m studying happiness For decades. They concluded that there are six psychological happiness. Very specific components And without realizing it, we stumbled upon many of these elements in our lives.

Autonomy: For example, take a look at this blog. We started writing “problems” a year ago. Because we are studying happiness and have realized that we can benefit directly from our research by doing other jobs that satisfy people who enjoy their work.

Learning the environment: We can acknowledge what we are good at, we know what we are lacking, and we are both okay. Because of this, we have more space to learn new and interesting things in life.

Personal growth: The way we are seen by others doesn’t really affect us. This does not mean that we are immune to criticism. * Instead, we find a quote that has a little more perspective and “Don’t get criticized by people who don’t go for advice.”

Positive relationships with others: The pool of things that matter to us has reduced: our family, friends, and happiness. that’s it.

Purpose of life: Overall currency happiness There’s no more Productivity But quality. In our relationships, how we spend our time and the work we do.

Self-acceptance: I’m working on this. We try to take care of ourselves in ways that we didn’t do when we were younger. We exercise. We take vitamins and sleep at reasonable times. We’re going Treatment. I try to eat well. In general, we feel pretty amazing.

We are far from the only social science researchers interested in happiness. Findings appear in major mainstream outlets, with the entire journal dedicated to topics. There’s no need to worry, but we don’t need to do that as we get into weeds.

Good first. Psychological happiness Increases life satisfaction, positive emotions (joy, gratitude), and general happiness.

Do you want employees to increase job satisfaction or do you want to increase job satisfaction yourself? Of course, you do. Research shows that When organizational goals are consistent with employee well-being, employees’ job satisfaction and mental health will improve.. That means Improvement of productivityThere are fewer days of illness, fewer company turnover rates, and more happy lives for employees. Win-win!

People who face work anxiety tend to be less happy. Economic inequality can lead to reduced happiness Both at the individual and social level.

I feel this is all unfair. People who struggle materially and financially also tend to struggle psychologically. That’s getting worse too. Gender, age, health Everything affects our well-being with women, and overall, it’s not ok than men.

Aside from fairness, there are many other drawbacks to focusing on happiness. When we focus solely on our own happiness, we lose sight of the needs of others. We think that a little selfishness is probably good for anyone’s self-preservation, but we don’t want readers to turn into a lot of jerks.

Furthermore, the constant pursuit of happiness can make long-term happiness more difficult as it adapts to improved conditions. This is sometimes called “”.Pleasure treadmill,“And when we feel our peers are doing better than us, it can be even more difficult ( Social media here).

In fact, we may not be okay, and the pressure to feel that we are or should only make the problem worse.

Certainly touching a hot stove hurts, but it also helps you understand what’s going on in the cooking process. We shared a terrible choice and we are not strangers trauma. Those experiences have shaped us and matured us, and we thank you A little kind and a little more empathy For them.
