It'stheHolidaySeason—anewyearisjustaroundthecorner! I'llbetyou’realreadythinkingabouthowyou’ dlikenextyeartobealittledifferentthanlast, right?
Butinsteadofthinkingofperformance, andefficiency, andcontrol, I’dlikeyoutotakethisopportunitytothinkabouthowmanythingsinyourdailylifethatyoudo “justforthejoyofit”?
WhatI’mtalkingabouthereisvalue-basedhappiness (asopposedtotemporaryhappiness).
Value-basedhappinessreferstothegeneralfeelingofwellbeingthatyouexperiencewhenyouaredoingwhatyouperceivetobemeaningful—whenit'ssomethingthat'simportanttoyou.
Whenyoulovewhatyoudo, , you'llriseaboveproblems, andmoveeasierthroughlife.
, notbecauseyou “should”or “haveto”, butbecauseyouwantto, becausetheyareapartofyourhighestgoals, andwhatyouvalue.
Value-basedhappinesscomesfromlookingatthingswithyourheart, notjustyoureyes.
Youcreatevalue-basedhappinessbyfocusingonthejoyoflife, insteadofconstantlylookingforthenextnewthingthatmightmakeyoufeelbetteraboutyourself, aboutyourlife.
SohowdoyoufocusontheJoy?
Throwoutyourideasaboutcontrol, effectiveness, andgoals.(Yes, theyareimportant, butlet'sjusttrysomethingdifferent, ok?)
FocusonLearning.
Insteadofmakingagoaltoachievemoreinyourjob, decideinsteadtoreadandlearnhowtodoonenewthingeachweek.
FocusonTime.
Scheduleyourtimetoincludewhat'simportanttoyou, likereadingtime, orexercisetime, orfamilytime, orlearningtime.
FocusontheWhy.
