We all know life is difficult. A key reminder is to realize it is your life and path. Family members, friends, coworkers, customers, students, et cetera will be on their own paths. Liberating yourself from bad habits and replacing them with good habits is doable.
Professor Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi [Me-High Chick-Sent-Me-High] presents us with an intriguing topic, “What constitutes a good life? Few questions are of more fundamental importance to a positive psychology. Flow research has yielded one answer, providing an understanding of experiences during which individuals are fully involved in the present moment. Viewed through the experiential lens of flow, a good life is one that is characterized by complete absorption in what one does.”
“We are the creative force of our life, and through our own decisions rather than our conditions, if we carefully learn to do certain things, we can accomplish those goals,” Stephen Covey.
Researcher and author Shawn Achor found there are ways we can train our brains in short amounts of time through gratitude. Achor promulgates a habit of gratitude challenges to force the brain to work more positively, “We're finding it's not necessarily the reality that shapes us, but the lens through which your brain views the world that shapes your reality.”
Jesse Bluma at Pointe Viven embodies this concept and it is a great adventure to meet so many other artisans and artists, creators, collectors, thinkers and doers that share the same spirit.
