8 things happy people do every day to find joy8 things happy people do every day to find joySo whats going to make you happy today? Have you thought about it? Is it on your calendar? Come discuss at Ladders Facebook Group, The Climb.University of California profSonja Lyubomirsky details the things research shows the happiest people have in common.Via The How of HappinessThey devote a great amount of time to their family and friends, nurturing and enjoying those relationships.They are comfortable expressing gratitude for all they have.They are often the first to offer helping hands to coworkers and passersby.They practice optimism when imagining their futures.They savor lifes pleasures and try to live in the present moment.They make physical exercise a weekly and even daily habit.They are deeply committed to lifelong goals and ambitions (e.g., fighting fraud, building cabinets, or teaching their children their deeply held values).Last but elend least, the happiest people do have their share of stresses, crises, and even tragedies. They may become just as distressed and emotional in such circumstances as you or I, buttheir secret weapon is the poise and strength they show in coping in the face of challenge.I guess the blog post could end here. Youve got youranswer. But did you just want trivia? Or do you actuallywant to get happier?The internet has become a firehose of ideas we never implement, tricks we forget to use.Reading a list of things is easy. Implementing them in your life can be hard.But it doesnt have to be. Lets get down to business.Happiness SubscriptionsHeres an interesting fact about happiness frequency beats intensity. Whats that mean?Lots of little good things make you happier than a handful of big things.Research shows that going to church and exercising both bring people a disproportionate amount of happiness. Why?They give us frequent, regular boosts.Stanford professor Jennifer Aaker says its really that simple the things that make you happy, do them mora often.We have designated work hours. We schedule doctor appointments. Heck, we even schedule hair appointments.We say happiness is the fruchtwein important thing but fail to consistentlyinclude it in our calendars.Research shows 40% of happiness is due to intentional activity. You can change your happiness by up to 40% by what you choose to do every day.And muchof what you do, you do on autopilot. 40% of what you do every day isnt the result ofdecisions, its due tohabits.ViaThe Power of Habit Why We Do What We Do in Life and BusinessOne paper published by a Duke University researcher in 2006 found thatmora than 40 percent of the actions people performed each day werent actual decisions, but habits.See where Im going with this?Happy thingsneed to be a habit. Part of your routine. Part of your schedule.Stop waiting forrandom happy events, you need a happiness subscription.So how do we take that list and make them thingswe actually do every day instead of more forgotten tr ivia?Lets get started.Wake up and say ARGEven scientific happiness advice is often corny. Ill say that now so we can get it off the table. But it works.And this is why you might want to say ARG when you wake up. Its an acronym that stands forAnticipationRecollectionGratitudeIve written about the importance of a morning gottesdienstliches brauchtum and how research shows your mood in the morning affects your entire day. So start right.Anticipation is a powerful happiness booster. Its twofor the price of one you get the good thing and you get happy in anticipation of the good thing.So think about what youre looking forward to. Got nothing youre looking forward to? Schedule something.Recollectinggreat moments has a relatedeffect. Memories allow us to relive the good times and kill stress.ViaThe How of HappinessPeople prone to joyful anticipation, skilled at obtaining pleasure from looking forward and imagining future happy events, are especially likely to be optimistic and to experienc e intense emotions. In contrast, those proficient at reminiscing about the past- looking back on happy times, rekindling joy from happy memories- are best able to buffer stress.And gratitude is arguably the king of happiness. Whats the research say? Cant be more clear than thisthe more a person is inclined to gratitude, the less likely he or she is to be depressed, anxious, lonely, envious, or neurotic.And the combo often leads to optimism. Another powerful predictor of happiness.So, corny as it may be, wake up and say ARG And then do a quick bit of anticipation, recollection and gratitude.(For more on optimism click here.)All thats fine and dandy.But what do you do once youre out of bed?Savor your morning coffeeTake a moment and really enjoy it. Smell it. Taste it. Appreciate it. Corny? Maybe.But other research shows savoring - appreciating the goodmoments - iswhat separates the happiest people from the average Joe.I imagine some of you are saying, Well, I dont drink coffee. And p lease imagine me saying, Thats not the point.It can be anything you do every morning.And embedding savoring in our little daily rituals is powerful because studies show rituals matter.Heres Harvard professor Francesca GinoYou can think about rituals that you yourself might engage in prior to consumption experiences. What they do, they make us a little bit more mindful about the consumption experience that we are about to have. Because of that, we end up savoring the food or whatever we are drinking more, we enjoy the experience more, and in fact, were also more willing to pay higher prices for whatever it is that we just consumed. Once again, rituals are beneficial in the sense that they create higher levels of enjoyment in the experience that we just had.(For more on how savoring can make you happier click here.)So what other habit can we build into our schedule that boosts joy? How about one that can make you as happy as sex does?Sweat your way to joyWhen you study people to see w hat makes them happiest you get three answers sex, socializing and exercise.ViaEngineering Happiness A New Approach for Building a Joyful LifeTheir findings confirm what had been found previouslyhappiness is high during sex, exercise, or socializing, or while the mind is focused on the here and now, and low during commuting or while the mind is wandering.People who exercise are, across the board, mentally healthier less depression, anger, stress, and distrust.ViaSpark The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the BrainA massive Dutch study of 19,288 twins and their families published in2006 showed that exercisers are less anxious, less depressed, less neurotic, and also more socially outgoing. A Finnish study of 3,403 people in 1999 showed that those who exercise at least two to three times a week experience significantly less depression, anger, stress, and cynical distrust than those who exercise less or not at all.Dont like exercise? Then youre doing the wrong kind.Running, li fting weights, playing any sport Find something you enjoy that gets you moving.(For more on how sweating can increase smiling - and make you smarter too - click here.)Okay, time to head to work. Whats the best thing to do when you start the day? Its not about you - but it will make you happier.The five-minute favorWho lives to a ripe old age? Not those who get the most help, ironically its those who give the most help.ViaThe Longevity Project Surprising Discoveries for Health and Long Life from the Landmark Eight-Decade StudyWe figured that if a Terman participant sincerely felt that he or she had friends and relatives to count on when having a hard time then that person would be healthier. Those who felt very loved and cared for, we predicted, would live the longest. Surprise our prediction was wrong. . . Beyond social network size, the clearest benefit of social relationships came from helping others. Those who helped their friends and neighbors, advising and caring for others, tended to live to old age.And a great way to do that without taking up too much time is Adam Rifkins 5 Minute FavorEvery day, do something selfless for someone else that takes under five minutes. The essence of this thing you do should be that it makes a big difference to the person receiving the gift.Usually these favors take the form of an introduction, reference, feedback, or broadcast on social media.So take five minutes to do something that is minor for you but would provide a big benefit to someone else.Its good karma - and science shows that, in some ways, karma is quite real.Yes, some who do a lot for others get taken advantage of. But as Adam Grant of Wharton has shown, givers also succeed moreThen I looked at the other end of the spectrum and said if Givers are at the bottom,whos at the top? Actually, I was really surprised to discover, its the Givers again. The people who consistently are looking for ways to help others are over-represented not only at the bottom, but a lso at the top of most success metrics.(For more on the best way to get happier by being a giver, click here.)Alright, you have to start work for the day. Ugh. But there are ways that work can make you happier too.Life is agame, and so is workLike the research shows, the happiest people have goals.ViaEngineering Happiness A New Approach for Building a Joyful LifeIn his studies, the psychologist Jonathan Freedman claimed thatpeople with the ability to set objectives for themselves- both short-term and long-term- are happier. The University of Wisconsin neuroscientist Richard Davidson has found that working hard toward a goal and making progress to the point of expecting a goal to be realized dont just activate positive feelings- they also suppress negative emotions such as fear and depression.Many of us feel like work can be boring or annoying but the research shows many of us are actually happier at work than at home. Why?Challenges. And we reach that state of flow only when a chall enge presents itself. So how can work make us happier?Three research-backed things to tryTo the degree you can, do things youregood at. Were happier when we exercise our strengths.Make note of your progress. Nothing is more motivating than progress.Make sure to see the results of your work. This gives meaning to most any activity.(For more on getting happier by setting goals click here.)Enough work. Youve got some free time. But whats the happiest way to use your free time?Friends get appointments, tooYou havemandatory meetingsin your schedulebut not mandatory time with friends? Absurd.One study says that as much as70% of happiness comes from your relationships with other people.ViaThe 100 Simple Secrets of Happy PeopleContrary to the belief that happiness is hard to explain, or that it depends on having great wealth, researchers have identified the core factors in a happy life. The primary components are number of friends, closeness of friends, closeness of family, and relationship s with co-workers and neighbors. Togetherthese features explain about 70 percent of personal happiness. Murray and Peacock 1996Why does church make people so happy? Studies show ithas nothing to do with religion - its about the socializing. Its scheduled friend time.ViaThe Secrets of Happy Families Improve Your Mornings, Rethink Family Dinner, Fight Smarter, Go Out and Play, and Much MoreAfter examining studies of more than three thousand adults, Chaeyoon Lin and Robert Putnam found that what religion you practice or however close you feel to God makes no difference in your overall life satisfaction.What matters is the number of friends you have in your religious community. Ten is the magic number if you have that many, youll behappier. Religious people, in other words, are happier because they feel connected to a community of like-minded people.And if you have the cash, pay for dinner with a friend.Money definitely can make you happier - when you spend it on other people.ViaHappy Money The Science of Smarter SpendingBy the end of the day, individuals who spent money on others were measurably happier than those who spent money on themselves - even though there were no differences between the groups at the beginning of the day. And it turns out that the amount of money people found in their envelopes - $5 or $20 - had no effect on their happiness at the end of the day. How people spent the money mattered much more than how much of it they got.Harvard professor and author of Happy Money The Science of Smarter Spending,Michael Nortonexplains in his TED talk.Dont have the cashfor that? No problem. Take turns paying.Duke professor Dan Ariely says this brings more happiness than always paying half.(For more on how to have happy friendships click here.)Whats the final thing happy people have in common? They cope with adversity. So what should we do when lifegets tough?Find meaning in hard timesResearch shows that a happy life and a meaningful life are not necess arily the same thing.Its hard to be happy when tragedy strikes. But who lives longer and fares better after problems? Those who find benefitin their struggles.ViaThe How of HappinessFor example, in one study researchers interviewed men who had had heart attacks between the ages of thirty and sixty. Those who perceived benefits in the event seven weeks after it happened- for example, believing that they had grown and matured as a result, or revalued home life, or resolved to create less hectic schedules for themselves- were less likely to have recurrences and more likely to be healthy eight years later. In contrast, those who blamed their heart attacks on other people or on their own emotions (e.g., having been too stressed) were now in poorer health.In many cases, Nietzsche was right what does not kill us can makeus stronger.ViaFlourish A Visionary New Understanding of Happiness and Well-beingA substantial number of people also show intense depression and anxiety after extreme adver sity, often to the level of PTSD, but then they grow. In the long run, they arrive at a higher level of psychological functioning than before In a month, 1,700 people reported at least one of these awful events, and they took our well-being tests as well. To our surprise,individuals whod experienced one awful event had more intense strengths (and therefore higher well-being) than individuals who had none. Individuals whod been through two awful events were stronger than individuals who had one, and individuals who had three- raped, tortured, and held captive for example- were stronger than those who had two.So when you face adversity, always ask what you can learn from it.(For more on how tomake your life more meaningful - without terrible tragedy - click here.)See that? I took the eight things happy people do and squeezed them into just seven habits. You can thank me later.Now how do we tieall of these happiness boosters together?Sum upIf you want every day to be happier try in cluding these seven things in your scheduleWake Up And Say ARGSavor Your Morning CoffeeSweat Your Way To JoyDo A Five Minute FavorMake Work A GameFriends Get Appointments TooFind Meaning In Hard TimesWere allquick to say happiness is the most important thing and then weschedule everything but the things that make ushappiest.

How to Prepare Financially for a Career Change

How to Prepare Financially for a Career Change How to Prepare Financially for a Career Change Many people first start looking at a career change because they are hoping to make mora money, but the reality is sometimes youll actually have to settle for making less money as you embark on your new career. This is because you will likely be starting out with a lot less experience than others in your field.This means its vital to do some financial planning plan if youre thinking about a career change.Research what you can realistically expect to earnTalk to people in your target field or industry preferably people who have the power to hire new staff, although this isnt vital. Ask them what position or level they would expect you to be offered given your experience, and what salary that position could be expected to pay. Be sure to ask more than one person to get a full picture.Decide whether you can afford the pay cutThis may seem like an obvious thing to say, but when we really want so mething, we often skim over problems in our mind, telling ourselves that it will all work out somehow and where theres a will theres a way. This is the time to confront the reality head on. Calculate your monthly expenses and see whether you can afford the pay cut.What to do if you cant afford itThe truth is that you may not be able to maintain your current standard of living and pursue your dream career.

Continue to earn as much as you can now while youre working in your current field. (You may even decide to apply for higher paying jobs in your current profession). Use this time to pay off any debts and save up as much as you can, so that you give yourself a cushion. Once you feel you have enough, you can start looking to make the change.If you excel in your new career youll soon make your way into the higher pay grades. When this happens, youll be in even better shape because you put your financial house in order before making the move. Good luck

Research to be done by the REMADE Institute will address issue...

Research to be done by the REMADE Institute will address issue... Research to be done by the REMADE Institute will address issue... Raising the Bar on Reuse, Recycling, RemanufacturingA 13th institute is the newest addition to the U.S. Department of Energys (DOE) five-year-old Manufacturing USA program whose goal is to improve U.S. manufacturing competitiveness by developing innovative advanced manufacturing technologies while also incorporating energy-reduction and sustainability principles.The newest institute, Reducing Embodied-Energy and Decreasing Emissions (REMADE for short), is focused on key industrial platform technologies that will dramatically reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions associated with industrial-scale materials production. According to DOE, REMADE could reduce energy usage in the U.S. manufacturing sector by up to 6%, saving billions in energy costs.Led by the Rochester Institute of Technologys Golisano Institute for Sustainability, REMADE has approxim ately $140 million in funding over five years from the federal government and private commitments. Operating under DOEs Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energys Advanced Manufacturing Office, the consortium brings together more than 100 entities, including national labs, leading universities, companies, industry trade associations, and foundations as partners to bridge the gap between research and deployment.Overall, REMADE will aim to drive down the cost of technologies for reusing, recycling, and remanufacturing of materials such as metals, fibers, polymers, and electronic waste and aims to achieve a 50% improvement in overall energy efficiency by 2027. The consortium will do this in part by developing advanced manufacturing technologies for reducing embodied energy, the sum of all the energy required to produce any goods.Research to be done by the REMADE Institute will address issues such as material aging and wear. Image RITMichael G. Thurston, research faculty and tech nical director, RITs Sustainability Institute, said the technical role of his area in the project is primarily focused on the remanufacturing side, which involves product design, design for disassembly in particular, and design for the lifecycle.In recent years, there has been increased emphasis on having original equipment manufacturers design multiple lifecycles into their products so that products last longer, Thurston said. Although that requires remanufacturing some parts, it brings with it the benefit of taking advantage of the initial material and process investments. Generally, your margins are better in remanufacturing because there is less effort and less material costs than with manufacturing new, he said. The traditional linear production process is you manufacture, the customer gets the product, they use it through one lifecycle, then they throw it away.The platform for automotive or industrial equipment, such as mining equipment, may be designed to have anywhere from a 10- to 50-year lifecycle, but components within the platform may not last that long. Caterpillar probably does more remanufacturing of its equipment than any other company in the world, Thurston said. In a mining truck, the engines wont last as long as the rest of the platform so instead of building an entirely new truck, the company reconditions the engine when it no longer meets reliability and performance requirements, he said. That reduces lifecycle energy consumption considerably.For the automotive industry, some estimates are that the energy it takes to make a car is somewhere between one-quarter and one-third of all of the energy the car uses over its whole lifetime including the gasoline that is needed, said Eric Hittinger, an engineer and RIT professor specializing in public policy. To work on fuel efficiency is great. That works on the larger share of the cars energy use, but if youre ignoring the quarter or third of the energy required to make the car in the first place, then you are missing some potential energy savings, he said.In remanufacturing, one of the first decisions that should be made for each product is to determine strategy, according to Thurston. If you are optimizing a product for a single lifecycle, you may design in less robustness than if designing a product and component within a product for multiple lifecycles, he said. Factors that come into play include economics and market competitiveness.DOE has recognized that the cost of remanufacturing must be reduced to encourage the market to use less primary material and more secondary material. That means how can we restore products to like new condition more cost effectively than is done today, Thurston said, taking into consideration both design and the manufacturing process. If we design products that can be taken apart and reconditioned more cost effectively, that makes remanufacturing more competitive.On the process side, an example of a big challenge with automotive or any heavy duty component is cleaning because of the high cost, one of the higher within remanufacturing. After use, components are often rusty, oily, and very dirty so one of the first core processes in remanufacturing is cleaning all the contamination. By reducing that cost, we can improve the overall economics. So cleaning technology is one of the technologies that the institute plans to look at, Thurston said.The money will go a long way to help research progress faster than in the past and also encourage researchers to work together and build on each others advancements. Most of the participants in REMADE have been working in these technology areas for years, but there hasnt been much funding, particularly for remanufacturing.We believe the investment will accelerate technology development and technology adoption, Thurston said. It also provides a mechanism to bring everyone together, and with a combined capability you will get more than if everybody is working separately in their own li ttle silo.Nancy S. Giges is an independent writer. For Further Discussion We believe the investment will accelerate technology development and technology adoption. Michael G.
