31 Mar Happiness lessons from teaching happiness (part 2)
Yesterday I posted a few thoughts reflecting my experiences teaching positive psychology and the happiness lessons I learned talking about happiness!
Today, Day 2 of the 3 day course, I learned (or was reminded of) a few more important lessons…
-
seek first to understand, then to be understood
-
change what you can change, accept what you can't, and be wise enough to know the difference
-
re-learn the art of doing nothing
-
savour life
-
protect yourself (and others) from risk, but work also to create success and happiness
-
you are not your thoughts
-
your thoughts are not necessarily facts
I'm happy to report that (as far as I can tell) the participants in my course are enjoying themselves and learning. I can't help but wonder what more I'll learn about happiness tomorrow…
