So what do you do?  Seclude yourself; cut yourself off from their conversations, comments or perhaps even reality? Ignorance is bliss right??  Or you can successfully annoy everyone around you by taking the “Joy-bot” approach.  You know the Joy-bots… superficially happy; no matter the circumstance… their emotions are robotic and unreasonably positive in every situation; lacking reality…

Personally, I don’t recommend either, but here are 3 things that you CAN do, that won’t make everyone think you are an awkward recluse or unemotional Joy-bot:

1.   Embrace the Reality of Change

“If you think about disaster, you will get it. Brood about death and you hasten your demise.

Think positively and masterfully, with confidence and faith, and life becomes more secure, more fraught with action, richer in achievement and experience.” – Swami Vivekananda quotes

Life is going to change, it’s inevitable.  Some of that change is going to be awesome and just what you wanted!  But much of that change is going to be unexpected and possibly even frustrating.  So what can you do?

Embrace it! Look at your frustrating situation and while you will (and should) recognize the difficulties, do not forget to find the positives in the situation.  No matter how small they may be, train your mind to discover the good and work to build achievable goals around those positive aspects.  By setting actionable and achievable goals around the positive points of a difficult situation, you will build much more meaning into your day to day achievements and find yourself much more motivated embrace those challenging changes.

“A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.” – Winston Churchill

2. Rename It

OK, this is a great, simple way to spice up your day and laugh a little, just “Rename It”.  That’s no longer a stapler and your desk… oh no, it’s a new and improved “Paper Piercer”!  You think that’s lotion in your hand?? Wrong! What you have there is a big bottle of “Liquid Youth”!

Give it a try. Release your inner creativity and tap into that goofy gene. Share them with your friends and coworkers, they’ll love it; and you’ll find yourself smiling and enjoying life more and more with each new name!

“For myself, I am an optimist – it does not seem to be much use being anything else” – Winston Churchill

3. You Are What You Choose

 “A man is but the product of his thoughts what he thinks, he becomes.” – Mahatma Gandhi

At first glance, this sounds a little too much like “The Secret” for me, but I assure you that it’s much less super-natural than that.  It’s a simple equation really… Seek to surround yourself with great activities and achievements, fill your mind with the positive, share your happiness with all you can; and you will find real, powerful joy!

If you’ve read the book “Tribal Leadership” by Dave Logan, you know that each of us can be categorized into 5 different categories:

1. Life Sucks
2. My Life Sucks
3. I’m Great
4. We’re Great
5. Life is Great

At some point in our lives, we have most definitely spent a little time in each of those stages; the question is “Where do we spend the majority of our time??”  Happiness is a choice; each of us is solely responsible for our reaction to each situation. We determine how we view life and how we think about our current circumstances, and WE can choose to spend our time believing that life is great!

 “We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms — to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.” – Viktor Frankl (Austrian psychiatrist and psychotherapist. 1905-1997)

But is “this” where we as a society should be going?

Where is the line between Online & Social Media enjoyment, where technology enriches our lives; and digital overrun, where media and technology high-jacks our social abilities and desires?
