“We cannot force positivity. Yet, we can create conditions that facilitate positive emotions to happen.” ~Ana Melikian
In The How of Happiness, Sonja Lyubomirsky introduces the concept of the Happiness Pie. She explains that, while research suggests that 50% of our well-being is determined by our genetics, only 10% is determined by life circumstances. The other 40% is determined by mindset.
In this episode,?I talk about the power of this 40%. I point out that happiness is a choice, I speak about Viktor Frankl, and I talk about the contributions of positive psychology. I share Seligman’s PERMA acronym for what allows us to flourish: Positive emotions, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and Accomplishment. I share the history of the theory of positivity, I note the power of relaxation, and I emphasize that you cannot force happiness.

"Our mindsets determine the way we see the world, as well as, the way we behave and who we are as people.
It’s very easy and normal to stay stuck in fixed mindsets - limiting beliefs about our abilities and skills that prevent us to learn new things.
We can intentionally cultivate a growth mindset that allows us to stretch our minds and amplify the realm of possibilities of what we do, and who we are.
Amplifying our mindsets is one of the secrets of success, for most entrepreneurs, business owners, and professionals out there."
