Theme of March: Happiness

In March we are talking a lot about happiness and why is this so important lately? Who can we describe what is happyness? Who can we measure it?

Fifty or even a hundred years ago, happiness as a phenomenon was not the central question of life. Much more focus was on everyday living, raising children, religion, community involvement, and work. Roughly from the 1950s, the values and experiences of the individual became popular much more. Our lifespan is much longer than it was before and If we think about just relationships and marriage, we spend more time together and expect much more from these connections than before. We develop as a couple, and we grow in our personality, spiritually etc. In our individualist society, happiness is essential. Countless social media platforms and advertisements suggest the importance of feeling happy and shame on you if you’re not.
 
Hundreds of self-help books promise you 5-10 tips and ways of happiness. Like it would be a pill you can take or a button you push and that’s all: you are happy forever. But emotions do not like that. The first thing it is interesting to consider is what is the area we feel unhappy. Give this feeling other words: burnout, unmotivated, uninterested, low mood, disappointed, stressed etc. Let’s think about how long we’ve been feeling this way and when was the last time we were truly immaturely happy. What has changed in our lives since then, both negatively and positively?
 
My clients usually contact me with a topic centred around their happiness. For example, they no longer feel in flow in that position, in that company, as before. Sometimes they love their partner but feel disconnected and lack the energy and time to spend quality moments together.
 
Just a few questions to consider:
What feelings do you have?
How happy are you in general?
How often do you feel this way?
How happy are you on a scale from 1 to 10?
When was the last time you felt happy?
What are the things keep you away from feeling happy?
 
Tell me more details about your feelings now. Make a note for yourself.

Looking back to February

In February, the focus was on the workplace atmosphere and communication on my social media pages and my groups. We looked at what core values each company advertises and what comes true in reality.

Although a lot depends on the company culture and the attitude of the management, the responsibility of the individual and the desire to change are equally necessary.

Unfortunately, in many countries today, the authoritarian leadership attitude is still very typical, and this can only be shaped by continuous development and a real aspiration to change. Fortunately, it is becoming increasingly common for management to be sent for developmental training and leadership coaching or for internal coaches to be employed. However, this often does not last long, partly because an inner coach can never be completely objective since he also receives his or her salary from the company and works under the same managers. Also, in many cases, no coaching process would ensure the integration of the imparted knowledge after training.

My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive Maya Angelou

The other topic we talked about was the forms of workplace harassment and the importance of having eyes and ears to notice and act against it. You can read more about it:

But before you say, I blame the entire management; it’s not the case. Many managers report that they are under intense pressure from both sides and are stressed. They cannot share their difficulties with their team members because they feel it is humiliating and devaluing. Also, their line managers usually encounter disinterest. That is why it is good to have an independent external specialist, not bound by the corporate hierarchy system but by confidentiality.

The most essential thing in every case is to look for the steps that can be taken on an individual level. At the same time, we must be aware of the limits of our competence and our responsibilities. Leaving our comfort zone to fight for those core values and implementing them is the way to create a pleasant work atmosphere.

Challenge a negative thought

I am the main character, the nameless hero of today’s story. I didn’t feel very well in the morning: I was tired, and my body was in pain. It would have been nice to curl back in the bad and stay there all day. But at the same time, I knew I had a lot to do. In the car back home, I had the craziest thought that I wanted to exercise. I imagined it would feel so good if I just did some basic movements, it might help to ease the cramps too. Then I heard the familiar voice in my head: “There’s no time for this today. You’re not even well. Why would you force this now?” At first, I nodded to myself. But when I got home, I took out my yoga mat, changed my clothes and turned on the music. I felt more and more energised and happy. I warmed up slowly to take care of my spine and joints. I didn’t want to do a workout today to cause pain, punish, or burn that fat but to heal, give strength, nourish and motivate. Nobody but myself.
 
Challenge a negative thought
When I say challenge a negative thought, I’m asking you that the next time when you reply immediately with something like „No, I can’t” or „It’s impossible”. Then stop for a moment and look at this thought. Because many times these drivers turn on because it is easier not to change anything because “oh, it wouldn’t work for me anyway”. Are you sure? Have you tried? No, because it’s much easier to say the usual. You already know that, even if it’s not good for you anymore. The root of these can often be found in childhood. But the fact that someone told you at the age of ten that it wouldn’t work for you anyway, and then you believed it, doesn’t mean that you can’t question it at the age of 30-40. Just because you failed ages ago doesn’t mean you can’t do it now. Dare to challenge negative thoughts and see that something is no longer as it used to be. These internalisations are formed to protect us as children. But even as adults, they accompany us and often keep us in good old comfort zone when we step on an unfamiliar road.
 
Back to my workout story. My inner voice advised me to be lazy today, while I felt it in my body, and I knew from years of experience that it is better for me (both mentally and physically) to do the workout. And you know what? It was amazing because I won against my negative self.
 
What will be the thought that you challenge today?

Without actions, dreams stay in the drawer

There is a little twist in this sentence. Namely, it is not true just by itself, you may have dreams, but if you don’t do the work for them every day, you’ll just stay where you are now.
“A goal without a plan is just a wish”, said Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. That’s why you do a little bit every day for your goal.
Furthermore, If you still feel likYou're closer to your goals today than you were yesterdaye you’re just going in circles and not getting anywhere, maybe it’s worth sharing your ideas with someone else and looking at your plan from a different perspective.
Look at these questions:
🧰Would you like to advance in your career or try a new path?
💪Do you feel you have lost motivation in your work or another area of your life?
⏳Do you feel like the days just flow together, and you can’t find happiness?
🏖Do you want to make your dreams come true instead of having them in the drawer?
If you answered yes to any of the questions, please get in touch, and I would be happy to help you to unlock your potential.

Gamification

This month we’re focusing on self-care in my group. To support us, I’ve created a self-care bingo. The game’s purpose is regular bingo: mark off the square every time you complete an action on the board. Once you complete a line across, up and down, or diagonally, it’s a win! Award yourself with something nice that lifts your mood.

Screenshot 2022-08-23 at 08.38.35How is this helpful for self-care?

Self-care is something we think is a luxury, but it is essential. You can share from an empty bowl. You can’t spend quality time with your family or friends if your batteries need to be refilled. Maybe you want to be more resilient, relaxed, and spend more time with your loved ones. But you can’t just rebuild your habits from one day to another. Small steps are sustainable. The less is more. Every day focus on just one action on the board.
