0- Do you know what are your concepts of happiness at work and in life?
- Jot down 1 or 2 and then ask yourself, what if they are not true? What if you can be happy right now?
” I don’t sing, and I don’t relax. This is the way I am, and I like it. I also like a little silence.” This is a quote from Branch who was the Troll that lost all his bright colors and was always worried about the attacks from Bergens. Do we know people like that in our lives? Those who are set in their ways? Does any of the following sound familiar? Are you like this?
- I am already 30, I don’t want to try that. That’s for “young” people
- You can’t teach an old dog, new tricks.
- I don’t do that. It’s too ____ (fill in the blank: hard, silly, time consuming...) It’s just not my thing/
- I am too old to ______ (fill in the blank).
As we get older, many of us, have a deep rooted belief that we cannot change any more. That is absolutely not true! The only reason we won’t learn anymore is if we mentally stop ourselves from doing so and believing in these types of “limiting concepts” like the above.
