#HR Want to Be Much Happier? Science Says Always Do Any 1 of These 8 Things

#HR Want to Be Much Happier? Science Says Always Do Any 1 of These 8 Things | #HR #RRHH Making love and making personal #branding #leadership | Scoop.it

1. Learn something new, even if it's stressful: Mastering a new skill means more stress now but more happiness later.

 

If you are willing to push through a bit of added stress in the short term, you can experience huge gains in happiness for the long term.

 

So learn a new skill. Though you'll take on a bit more stress, research shows you'll be happier on an hourly, daily, and long-term basis.

 

The gains from this investment in time and energy were documented in a 2009 study published in the Journal of Happiness Studies. Participants who spent time on activities that increased their competency, met their need for autonomy, or helped them connect with others reported decreased happiness in the moment yet increased happiness on an hourly and daily basis.

 

The key, according to the study, is to choose the right new skill to master, challenge to undertake, or opportunity to get out of your comfort zone. The greatest increases in happiness come from learning a skill you choose, rather than one you think you should or feel forced to learn.

Something to consider for the wellbeing of our teams. 
Lucero D's curator insight, September 15, 2017 8:42 AM
When we were first married my husband and I played a game for married couples with some long married friends.  One of the questions was, "How would you describe yourself in one word?", and your spouse had to choose the one to match yours in order to get a point in the game.   I don't remember all the choices, but rose and book were the two that stood out to me.  I recall hoping that my would know that I would instinctively choose book.  Not because I love to read or that I think I'm smarter than everyone else BUT because I LOVE to learn new things.  Thankfully, he didn't choose rose and we kicked the other couples butts!!!

I enjoy attempting to master new skills like making kombucha, learning to ferment vegetables, making bread, baking something new, learning about how to keep chickens, gardening difficult to grow flowers or vegetables, figuring out how to fix my bike by myself. . . You see, I'm not afraid to get myself dirty.  What my husband finds frustrating about these things is that though the habits become part of my regular routine I don't develop them to the point of perfection so I can make a business of it.  There is a very good reason for this.  I want to continue learning skills which will benefit my family and bring me joy and have the freedom to practice them without the stress of it becoming a burden.   At one time I wanted to have my own business.  Then I saw the reality of things. . . 

My husband has a cabinet shop.  Really that is a misnomer - he has a manufacturing facility.  He USED to be a cabinet maker.  He USED to enjoy making things out of wood and took pride is the work of his hands.  Now he is slave to his business.  His entire life is his business - keeping customers happy and people employed so the business can continue to grow.  He has employees who make boxes for his clients.  His hands rarely ever touch the materials with which he once so loved working.  What was once his creative outlet is now his living nightmare, his taskmaster, and the focus of all his attention.  

He has a wife who loves him and two beautiful, sweet, smart little girls who are growing so fast and he has little time to spend with them.  They'll be grown and gone before he knows it and he'll have missed it all.  Time will go by and I'll become more and more the stranger who is married to a house that he happens to sleep in.

5 Things You Can Do At Home To Improve Your Life At Work

5 Things You Can Do At Home To Improve Your Life At Work | #HR #RRHH Making love and making personal #branding #leadership | Scoop.it
 

We all want to find happiness at work and at home, but 24% of U.S. employees say the balancing act is getting tougher to manage, according to a study by Ernst & Young (EY). That’s because work is spilling into time that should be spent on personal pursuits. About half of managers work more than 40 hours a week, the EY report found, and a study by Project: Time Off found that the majority (55%) of us end the year without taking advantage of paid time off. That unused vacation time totals 658 million days.

 

But happiness experts say work-life balance is a myth. Work life and home life aren’t separate; there’s just "life," and happiness comes from figuring out a way to combine the two seamlessly.

 

"People who are highly resilient don’t see the day in terms of separation," says Maria Sirois, clinical psychologist at the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. "There isn’t work me versus home me. Ninety percent of success of life is about who we are and what we bring to the day at work and at home."

Simple strategies such as getting a good night's sleep and tapping into your creative strengths can impact your career.

Haidi Furnell's curator insight, March 21, 2017 3:57 AM

The work/life balance is with we all struggle with every day. Living and working in a remote area, I find it challenging to separate my work life from my home life. It’s extremely important to put things in place to ensure you are getting the most out of each and can separate the two. Making health and wellbeing a priority can help you manage the stresses that come with work. Simply eating healthy and exercising daily can make a huge impact on your mental health, as well as ensuring you are sleeping properly and have energy for the next day, rather than thinking about work all night. You can ensure you have time each night with no phones or laptop devices, and create habits/routines which trick your mind into knowing you are home and not at work. There are millions of things you can put in place and not only will you, but your family and colleagues benefit.
