Discussing Big Potential by Shawn Achor
Major Points from this Episode:
- Unhappiness is a sign that an evaluation needs to take place on your life. Unhappiness can point you to something that’s not working for you.
- Opposite of joy is not sadness, it’s apathy. Fight out of an apathetic state and reclaim your joy.
- Don’t expect others to spark your joy, only you have the power to do that.
- Don’t let the negative opinions or stress of others affect your mood.
- A positive and engaged brain is the biggest advantage.
- Visualization can dramatically increase your momentum. Your brain will point you in the direction of those visualizations, so make them detailed, bold and vivid. Best yet, write it down!
- Start to imagine your best possible self. Write down who that person is and how to become them.
Actionable Strategies:
- Practice gratitude daily so that you can begin to locate the joy that surrounds you. Each day this week, write down 3 things you are grateful for.
