0In the process of growth, the most important thing is to calm down, do it well today, and express it now, and love it now, the habit! Therefore, every day, we have solid harvests, including many surprises!
material age,
is an era of satisfying desires,
spiritual age is the starting point of life!
Less is more. ("less is more")
In the past, material scarcity, we kept doing material addition - adding refrigerators to our homes, buying a TV, equipting a washing machine, and then buying a car... From a state of nothing to "fully armed" it can indeed give people a sense of happiness. But now, material is unprecedentedly abundant.
In an era where everything is ready and nothing is lacking, it is difficult to possess matter anymore to stimulate our senses and allow us to obtain long-term satisfaction. In the new era, what is more important is the spiritual fulfillment than money and material things.
The satisfaction obtained from the real thing can only last for a short time, but our precious experiences and the knowledge gained from it will permanently enter our lives.
If a person knows what is most important to him, he can cleanly cut off those things that he does not need in life.
is more appropriate than "simplifying the complexity" than "simplifying the complexity" or "deliberately letting go".
Ten conditions for achieving a "new happiness" in free life
1. Enjoy work
This has nothing to do with the salary, but it is about whether you are happy in the work, whether you feel challenging and fulfilled, whether you can learn something; you can continue to grow, improve, and feel satisfied with it.
2. Friends and family members who are close to each other
If the work goes well, but there is no family and friends who can share intimately, this is not a pleasure, let alone happiness.
3. Have a stable source of economics
This does not mean that you must have such a huge asset, or you must have a very high income, as long as you can satisfy your stable life.
4. Physical and mental health
Only with a healthy body and mind can you work, live, struggle and enterprising with all your heart.
5. Have a stimulating interest and lifestyle
After entering society in adulthood, they are used to binding the circle of contacts and the circle of interests, but without one or two interests that allow you to fully enjoy, you cannot have a pure but not utilitarian social circle.
6. Have a certain amount of time freedom
Have time that can be completely controlled by yourself and can accompany important friends and family.
7. Choose a living environment that suits you
No matter what job you are engaged in or what kind of life you have, picking a living environment that suits you carefully is related to happiness.
8. People who have effective thinking habits
always shirking responsibility and acting as victims, people who are often in negative states, people who are habitually seeking excuses, and people who are limited by inherent common sense and difficult to break through are hard to encounter happiness.
9. The first reason why the happiness index declines in the future is that people cannot see their future and then feel uneasy.
10. I feel like I am moving towards my goal
A step-by-step and full of purpose is a down-to-earth life, and the happiest feeling is always on the road.
How to obtain happiness in the new era?
The so-called new happiness is to get rid of the constraints of external objects such as money, time, and places, so that we can have freedom again.
1. From "Practicing strict economy" to "actively choose simplicity"
From the fact that the wealthy classes in Nordic countries still live a simple life, it can be seen that this belongs to their "active choice". Although they are simple in material terms, they are very rich in spirit.
Investing time and money into accumulating life experiences and feelings, rather than consuming it in the pursuit of material things, will reap spiritual abundance. Once you develop a simple living habit, you will enjoy it.
2. From "owning money" to "owning time"
Whether you are eager for money or time, you must understand why you want it and be able to control it easily; if you don't know how to pursue and own their purpose, it will be meaningless no matter how much you get.
3. Instead of pursuing improvement in status, it is better to pursue freedom
If a person is promoted in the company, we generally think that he has a higher status and becomes the final winner in a competitive environment, but at the same time, you must know that he may also face more working hours, more complex interpersonal relationships, and greater performance pressure.
If you change your thinking, as long as your work can make you feel fulfilled and can make you continue to grow in your profession, that is the right choice.
4. Instead of working in a first-class company, it is better to engage in freelancing
Being a freelancer not only has a good return on income, but also has a very free working style and is much happier than office workers. In the United States, one-quarter of the working population belongs to free practitioners.
If you want to gain happiness, you must be close to the essence of work and find satisfaction and freedom from the sense of commitment and accomplishment that focuses on the work itself. We do not advocate that everyone resigns from public office and engages in freelancing, but advocate that even an office worker should try our best to create a flexible working method that can be freely played and decide.
5. Instead of blindly promoting yourself, it is better to provide help
If you are inferior at work and want to be on an equal footing with higher-level people, you must learn to be neither humble nor arrogant, and love and confident. Instead of spending your energy on self-promotion, it is better to devote your energy to self-improvement. When you can help others, it means you are half successful.
6. Being a person who does not rely on any platform and speaks by relying on strength
is at a high level in a famous company, which will naturally make people from all walks of life flock to it, and even neighbors will envy: "Your job is really good." But once you leave the company, your halo will fade? In today's Internet era, if you can persist in learning and use new media, it will become unimportant whether you have status and reputation in the past.
The people who can continue to shine and heat in the end must be those who do not rely on any platform and speak by their strength.
7. Face hard work with a happy attitude
The feeling of hard work comes from "forced to do", and pleasure comes from "taking the initiative to do it". As long as we have the awareness of adjusting our mindset, we may turn the hardships in the eyes of others into our new happiness.
8. Maintain your independent thinking ability
If we are bound by inherent common sense, it is impossible to obtain new happiness.
Because common sense is the experience summarized by people in the past, if you believe in common sense, it will naturally be difficult to escape from old values.
Everyone should think carefully about "what happiness is" and don't let those materialisms affect you.
9. The niche market is more consumer-friendly
Whether it is working or starting a business, you should target the niche. Niches can gather strength and are more likely to feel the brand's enthusiasm, and of course, sales results are more significant.
10. Compared to short-term salary increase, you should pay more attention to the accumulation of personal brands
Don’t just chase the things in front of you, but cherish the encounters that come with them.
In this era of lack of sustainability, the only thing that can ensure sustainable development is to continuously improve one's own abilities, build one's own personal brand, and promote the improvement of personal reputation.
11. Working in cafes, parks, gyms, etc.
The way of working in modern society is not necessarily limited to concrete offices, and keeping them in it all day long. As long as you can complete your work on time, it is okay to try mobile office. Don’t stick to the specific form of the office. You can treat all places as your own office!
12. Expand your world with the common language of lifestyle
It is very important to master a "common language" that anyone can understand. For example, topics such as sports, wine, food, culture or history are all good choices because it advocates your lifestyle.
13. Compared with the short-term great happiness, the long-lasting and sustainable "little happiness" is more touching
"little happiness" is such a kind of happiness - although desire itself is not huge, as long as it can truly feel it, even if it is really insignificant, it is enough for people to live a good life. True happiness comes from one's own experience, and it is accumulated from the inadvertent feeling of joy during the ordinary days.
14. In the era of convenience and speed, we deliberately pursue some "inconvenience"
In this era of convenience and speed, people need to deliberately pursue some "inconvenience". If the "inconvenience" is forced, it will be very painful; if it is an active choice, it may be fun, which will help to form new stimulation and reduce the threshold of satisfaction.
15. Compared to money, what is more important is the spiritual fulfillment
Whether you gain a sense of accomplishment from teamwork or you can continue to learn and grow with a very low salary, as long as the work becomes pleasant and fulfilling, the pressure will be gradually resolved. By working to grow, you will continue to discover new challenges, make your work full of interest and confidence in the future.
16. Improve work efficiency and change the habit of "weight but not quality"
Efficient work can bring a sense of accomplishment, and a continuous sense of accomplishment can create a high-satisfaction life state.
17. Transform from "on others-centered" to "on self-centered"
In the process of experiencing life, if you lack sufficient self-judgment training, you will easily be influenced by others. Remember to stick to what you want during the long time.
18. Change the established lifestyle every day, enjoy the changes
Go to seek changes, like changes, enjoy changes! It will definitely bring you countless new encounters and brand new discoveries.
