It turns out most of us are looking in the wrong places when it comes to improving our wellbeing. Research suggests that while 50% of our life satisfaction is genetic, only 10% comes from our life circumstances and a full 40% comes from our intentional activities – how are act, think and feel. We tend to over-estimate the impact of positive or negative life events, with studies showing we quickly adapt and return to our wellbeing set point. There are six areas that have consistently been shown to shift that set point and have a positive impact on our level of wellbeing and happiness.
Wellbeing is cultivated by the presence in our lives of Positive Emotions, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, Achievement and Vitality. But where do we start and can we have an immediate impact? It turns out the answer is yes. Enquire about upcoming workshops to find out more.
