Good afternoon everyone,

I hope you’re all having a lovely start to the week! ๐Ÿ˜€

We are currently in the 1st week of 2022, and this first week is, to me, the perfect time for some reflection!

We are going to be taking a little closer look at this in today’s blog, so let’s get cracking!

Maybe you will never get back to the person you used to be. But maybe that is okay. Maybe that is something to celebrate, something to embrace, because who you were is a version of yourself that exists in the past. A version of yourself that didnโ€™t go through the heartbreak or the hardship; aย [โ€ฆ]

Escaping the Rat Race: Lessons from Buddhism โ€” Pointless Overthinking

As humans we spend most of our lives in a state of perpetual craving and desire. We land a big promotion at work, but soon fantasize about continuing to move up the corporate ladder. We become consumed by discontent and dissatisfaction as we constantly compare our social standing to that of our peers.ย  Wealth,ย statusโ€ฆ

Adjusting back into University Life…

Good afternoon everyone!

Over the last couple of weeks, I have been settling back into University Life, and it’s pretty safe to say that it’s been quite a journey.

The Science of Happiness

GS's avatarBe Inspired..!!

Scientist today, teaches us that cells in your body have everything to do with happiness, and how to maintain that state of being. With every cell of your body, you have the inherent ability to manipulate and control the way you feel. However, not many people seem to know this, or even know how this works. Before we begin, you must understand what our bodies are made of. Our bodies are moulded out of 70 trillion cells that are found in the blood, the brain, skin, bone, eyes, hair, and in the reproductive system. Why is this important? Because every cell, no matter where they are located, are working together to make you feel a certain way.

Each cell reacts to electromagnetic waves (signals) and proteins (called neuropeptides) that come from your heart. The heart sends signals and shoots out these proteins in fractions of a second. Every cell isโ€ฆ

Ways to Reset Your Happiness Set Point

Cathy Noice's avatarWorkplace Navigator

I wrote this over 7 years ago and as I reread it now, I realize that I really have reset my happiness set point. Enjoy!

Iwrote a post a few weeks ago aboutย perfectionism. In the post, I brought up Hedonic Adaptation which involves a happiness โ€œset pointโ€, whereby humans generally maintain a constant level of happiness throughout their lives, despite events that occur in their environment. So whether itโ€™s buying a new Mercedes or crashing your new Mercedes, your level of happiness resets to the same pre-event level. A reader asked that I expound on how I have tried to reset my happiness set point.

So Iโ€™ve tried to reset my โ€œset pointโ€ and it turns out there is some science behind it. I think I first became aware of this by reading โ€œThe Happiness Projectโ€ by Gretchen Rubin. In the book, she chroniclesโ€ฆ
