Ancient wisdom reveals 7 rituals that will make you happy

Ancient wisdom reveals 7 rituals that will make you happyAncient wisdom reveals 7 rituals that will make you happyYou and I are leidlage the first people to wonder, How can I live a happier, more fulfilling life? Not by a long shot.Stoicism and Buddhism are both a few thousand years old and I write about them a fair amount because both have core elements that have been validated by modern science.And something I find even more interesting is that they also have a lot in common with each other. Originating on different continents, theyre like the brother from anotlageher mother or sister from another mister of psychology.When I see systems that have persisted for millenia, are backed by research, and have a lot in common, well, me gets reaaaaal curious about insights that should probably not be ignored. Lets callem Stoboo, shall we?Ladders is now on SmartNewsDownload the SmartNews app and add the Ladders channel to read the latest career news and advice wherever you go.Alrighty, let u s begin ur journey down The Noble Stoboo PathLife isnt the problem. Your interpretations areYour flight is late and you have to sit around the airport, bored. And that makes you angry. Or Your flight is late and you get to sit down and rest for a minute instead of shuffling onto a crowded plane. And that makes you happy.Guess what? Flight being late isnt the issue. What made you angry or happy was your interpretation of what that neutral event means.Both Stoicism and Buddhism feel that the world is what it is. We get all riled up because of how we interpret those events. And, if we choose, we can change those interpretations and change our feelings.From The Daily StoicHe was sent to prison. But the observation he has suffered evil, is an addition coming from you. - Epictetus, Discourses, 3.8.5b 6aAnd Buddha saidWe are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts we make the world.Science backs them to the hilt. This concept is the crux of Cognitive Beh avioral Therapy (which originated with Stoicism) and mindfulness (which originated in Buddhism.) And theyre two of the most validated and utilized therapeutic techniques out there.So how do we put this idea to use? Next time you get angry or frustrated, dont focus on your circumstances. Ask yourself what belief about the circumstances you are clinging to. And think about how that might be incorrect or not useful.How many times has a schwimmbad thing turned out to be a good thing once you had more information or saw the eventual result? Exactly.(To learn more about the science of a successful life, check out my bestselling book here.)Problem is, you make behauptung interpretations really fast. So they can be hard to correct. Dont worry. The Stoboo boys thought about that a long time agoStep backKids instantly shriek with joy when something good happens and two seconds later theyre shrieking with grief when something bad happens. And they can go back and forth all day long. (When adul ts do this they probably need medication and you should definitely stop dating them.)What do the people we hold up as icons do? Well, James Bond doesnt hop up and down when he beats Blofeld and he doesnt cry for his mom when henchmen shoot at him. Hes not emotionless - hes in control of his emotions. Plain and simple hes less reactive to his external circumstances. The events around him do not dictate his behavior. He decides how he will respond.When youre reactive, you give up free will. Environment says this you behave like that. Youre impulsive and impulsive rarely has a positive connotation its pretty much synonymous with bad decisions.Neither Stoicism or Buddhism are fans of impulsive emotional reactions (and your parole officer wont be either if you give in to them).So when something happens and triggers a strong emotional response, Stoboo says step back. Take a deep breath and let your thinky-brain decide if throwing your laptop against the wall is the best way to cope with slow internet speeds.From The Daily StoicFirst off, dont let the force of the impression carry you away. Say to it, hold up a bit and let me see who you are and where you are from- let me put you to the test . . . - Epictetus, Discourses, 2.18.24From Mindfulness A Practical Guide to AwakeningAs were about to act, or when thoughts or emotions are predominant, do we remember to investigate and reflect on our motivation? Do we ask ourselves, Is this act or mind state skillful or unskillful? Is this something to cultivate or abandon? Where is this motivation leading? Do I want to go there?Science agrees. The term cognitive fusion is used to describe when were overwhelmed - possessed, even - by our feelings and cant see the bigger picture. We make better decisions when we see thoughts and feelings as just that thoughts and feelings. They are not you and you dont have to act on them.So what should we do? Well, Bruce Banner, when you feel those strong emotions well up, followed by a de sire to do something extreme - pause. The stronger the emotions and the more urgent the desire to act, the more skeptical you should be and the more you want to hit the brakes.At first, just give yourself a count of five. You want to extend your ability to feel the feelings without acting on them, fighting them or denying them. They will dissipate. It never seems like they will in the moment (and thats why feelings are so powerful) but they will dissipate.Ever been really angry but then something makes you laugh and the anger just seems to vanish? We dont need something external to snap us out of negative emotional states. With practice, you can get better at doing it on your own.(To learn the secret to never being frustrated again, click here.)But sometimes so many problems pile on us that constantly stepping back isnt an option. What perspective shift do we need to make for all the things in life outside of our control so that we dont end up in a near-constant state of paralysis? AcceptanceThe Stoics were control freaks. but not in the way we usually use that term. They were very serious about control, yes, but serious meaning that 99% of the time you dont have any. And you better get used to it.You cant even control your body some of the time. (Tell that headache to just stop and let me know well how that works.) All you can truly control is your deliberate thoughts. And if you refuse to accept this youre gonna spend a lot of time shaking your fist at the world.From The Daily StoicThe chief task in life is simply this to identify and separate matters so that I can say clearly to myself which are externals not under my control, and which have to do with the choices I actually control. Where then do I look for good and evil? Not to uncontrollable externals, but within myself to the choices that are my own . . . - Epictetus, Discourses, 2.5.4 5And Buddhism is big on not clinging. When you cling to your desires and expectations - even after life crosses its ar ms and says, Nope - you suffer. We must accept that life is not always going to give us what we want. When we give up trying to control things we cant, we feel better.From A Guide to the Bodhisattvas Way of LifeWhy be unhappy about something if it can be remedied? And what is the use of being unhappy about something if it cannot be remedied?And science is on board with this. You dont hear too many therapists recommending denial as a coping skill. Emotional acceptance of difficult life issues is one of the primary goals of psychotherapy.So how do we get started? Acceptance doesnt mean passivity. It just means not being in denial that we cannot 100% control the majority of outcomes in life.Accept there will be challenges. When your opponent gets the advantage in a game you dont waste time shouting, That should not have happened They do their thing and you respond, doing the best you can to improve your situation.(To learn the two-word morning ritual that will make you happy all day, click here.)While most people are probably in agreement that the above all makes good sense, there is a totally legitimate objection I acknowledge doing these things consistently sounds really really hard.Like now I know why Buddhist monks live in a monastery far away from all the grief I deal with daily level-of-hard. Yes, changing interpretations, stepping back and accepting difficulties every day seems like the mental equivalent of running a marathon.But people can run marathons. And they do. But they dont do it without preparation The mind requires trainingThey really shouldnt let people drive a brain around without a license. Its the most complex thing in the universe and we have no idea how to use it. On an emotional level its like giving a nuke to a five-year old.You know you should go to the gym for your body but for the brain we just have school, and all that does is give you information, not true mental discipline and emotional development.You wouldnt read a martial arts b ook and think you were ready for the UFC. Learning is one thing, training is another. And Stoboo says the brain must be trained or you void the warranty.From The Daily StoicIn this way you must understand how laughable it is to say, Tell me what to do What advice could I possibly give? No, a far better request is, Train my mind to adapt to any circumstance. In this way, if circumstances take you off script you wont be desperate for a new prompting. - Epictetus, Discourses, 2.2.20b 1 24b 25aAnd Buddha saidThe mind, hard to control, flighty, alighting where it wishes, one does well to tame. The well-trained mind brings happiness.And science has been rushing to play catch up by adopting these practices that have been around for millennia. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is the single most proven psychological modality in practice today. And many proven treatments have been developed from Buddhist mindfulness.So what should we do? Might as well stick to the classics. You can learn to medit ate here. And you can learn a number of Stoic exercises here. Get your brain to go jogging daily before you take on the mental marathon of life.(To learn how to be more productive - from the ancient Stoics - click here.)So far weve taken a pretty cerebral approach to all this. But isnt so much of life about feelings? Nothing more than feelings, Barbra?Feeling is the only way throughWe hear echoes of this all the time in expressions like face your fears or dont bottle up your emotions. And we need those reminders because feelings can hurt. A lot.Somebody you care deeply about tosses your heart in a wood chipper and the last thing you want to do is spend time dwelling in a torture chamber of your negative emotions. You want to avoid them, suppress them, or switch them off altogether.But you cant. Youre human. (Sorry.) Those feelings may bubble up as anxiety disorders or PTSD but they wont just go away. So we need to listen to the Stoics?Huh? Arent those the Spock guys who have no em otions - hence the adjective stoic?Wrong. Heres bestselling author Ryan HolidayThe Stoics are stereotyped as suppressing their emotions, but their philosophy was actually intended to teach us to face, process, and deal with emotions immediately instead of running from them. Tempting as it is to deceive yourself or hide from a powerful emotion like grief- by telling yourself and other people that youre fine- awareness and understanding are better. Distraction might be pleasant in the short term- by going to gladiatorial games, as a Roman might have done, for example. Focusing is better in the long term. That means facing it now. Process and parse what you are feeling. Remove your expectations, your entitlements, your sense of having been wronged. Find the positive in the situation, but also sit with your pain and accept it, remembering that it is a part of life. Thats how one conquers grief.And engagement with your experience, emotions and all, without judging it, is the heart of Buddhist mindfulness.From The Craving Mind(Mindfulness is) The awareness that arises from paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment, and non-judgmentally. As Stephen Batchelor recently wrote, this definition points toward a human capability of learning how to stabilize attention and dwell in a lucid space of non-reactive awareness.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy conquers phobias with exposure therapy - slowly and incrementally facing your fears. It originated with Stoicisms premeditatio malorum which is basically exposure therapy without the exposure.And thats a technique we can easily use. You imagine the worst possible scenario, feeling it as realistically as possible, and, with time, find that its power over you shrinks and shrinks. When we step back from our feelings, make room for them on the couch next to us, and accept them, they start to go from being terrifying monsters to smartphone notifications we can choose to check or let go.(To learn the 5 questions that will make you emotionally strong, click here.)Still with me? Or is your mind off wandering around? That question is absolutely vital to your happiness as a Stoboo padawan Focus on the presentDesignating time to plan for the future is essential, as is reflecting on and learning from the past. But walking around obsessed with yesterday leads to regret and a constant focus on the future breeds anxiety.We are happiest and most effective when our minds cease to be time travelers and stay focused on the here and now.From The Daily StoicDont let your reflection on the whole sweep of life crush you. Dont fill your mind with all the bad things that might still happen. Stay focused on the present situation and ask yourself why its so unbearable and cant be survived. - Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, 8.36From Mindfulness A Practical Guide to Awakening in our lives, how often are we living in anticipation of what comes next, as if that will finally bring us to some sort of completion or fulfillment? And modern research by Harvard happiness expert Daniel Gilbert shows that a wandering mind is not a happy mindPeople spend 46.9 percent of their waking hours thinking about something other than what theyre doing, and this mind-wandering typically makes them unhappy Mind-wandering is an excellent predictor of peoples happiness, Killingsworth says. In fact, how often our minds leave the present and where they tend to go is a better predictor of our happiness than the activities in which we are engaged.So what should we do? Catch yourself in the act. This is your new game to play. Check in with yourself. Is my attention focused on the here and now? Or is my mind wandering to the past or future?Mindfulness is meditation writ large. In meditation, you focus on your breath, your attention wanders, and you return your attention to the breath. Over and over. And in living a mindful life, youre focused on the present, your mind wanders, and you return it to the present. Over and over.And eve ntually this will happen without effort. And youll be happier.(To learn 5 secrets from neuroscience that will increase your attention span, click here.)Okay, all of this is very internal. What attitude should we, as newly ordained Monks of the Stoboo Order, take toward those around us?People are ridiculous. Love them anywayIf youre accepting what comes, altering your interpretations, training your mind other people might start to seem like a pack of insane monkeys, acting impulsively on every whim and complaining endlessly. So should you just regard them as poo-flinging lesser primates?No. Youre not perfect. Theyre not perfect. Be patient. Be compassionate. Dont judge. Help.From The Daily StoicWhen you first rise in the morning tell yourself I will encounter busybodies, ingrates, egomaniacs, liars, the jealous and cranks. They are all stricken with these afflictions because they dont know the difference between good and evil. Because I have understood the beauty of good and the ugl iness of evil, I know that these wrong-doers are still akin to me . . . and that none can do me harm, or implicate me in ugliness- nor can I be angry at my relatives or hate them. For we are made for cooperation. - Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, 2.1And Buddhism once again gives Stoicism a high-five.From Mindfulness A Practical Guide to AwakeningThe more we understand our own minds, the more we understand everyone else. We increasingly feel the commonality of our human condition, of what creates suffering and how we can be free. Our practice also benefits others through the transformation of how we are in the world. If were more accepting, more peaceful, less judgmental, less selfish, then the whole world is that much more loving and peaceful, that much less judgmental and selfish. Our mind-body is a vibrating, resonating energy system. Of necessity, how we are affects everyone around us. On a boat in the middle of a great storm, one wise, calm rolle can bring everyone to safety. The world is like that boat, tossed by the storms of greed and hatred and fear. Can we be one of those people who help to keep it safe?As for science, this one is a slam dunk. Outside of your genetics, relationships are 1 when it comes to happiness-makers.From The Happiness Advantage The Seven Principles of Positive Psychology That Fuel Success and Performance at WorkMy empirical study of well-being among 1,600 Harvard undergraduates found a similar result- social support was a far greater predictor of happiness than any other factor, more than GPA, family income, SAT scores, age, gender, or race.So how do we boost our empathy and compassion and improve our relationships? Stoboo to the rescue The great Stoic Hierocles said to treat everyone as family and you will come to see them as such. And, similarly, what attitude does the Dalai Lama take when dealing with others?Trying to treat whoever he meets as an old friend.(To learn 3 secrets from neuroscience that will help you quit bad habi ts without willpower, click here.)Okay, weve covered a few thousand years worth of material. Lets round it all up and learn one extra ritual the two titans of philosophy agree on that can make you - and others - very happySum upHeres how Stoboo can make you happyLife isnt the problem. Your interpretations are You might think This post is long. It sucks that I have to read all this. Or This post is long. So much to look forward to Post is the same. Your interpretation created those feelings.Step back Be more impulsive isnt advice you hear a lot.Accept Nor do you hear you should live in denial.The mind requires training Yes, that means work. We know being impulsive and denying reality arent good but we do them anyway. Bad habits are hard to break. Meditate on that. Literally.Feeling is the only way through Youll never eliminate your personal basket of neuroses - but you dont have to act on them either. Make room for them on the couch, feel them, and they will dissipate.Focus on the present Regret might be back there. Anxiety might be up ahead. But what is really bothering you right now? So spend more time in the now.People are ridiculous. Love them anyway The only people who are perfect and always make sense are people you dont know very well. We all take our turn as the crazy uncle at Thanksgiving dinner. Treat people as old friends and often they will become just that.So whats the final step on The Great Way of the Stoboo? Gratitude.Gratitude toward others and gratitude for this life with all its ups and downs. Because the ups and downs are your interpretations, remember? So accept it all, love it all, be grateful for it all.From The Daily StoicIt is easy to praise providence for anything that may happen if you have two qualities a complete view of what has actually happened in each instance and a sense of gratitude. Without gratitude what is the point of seeing, and without seeing what is the object of gratitude? - Epictetus, Discourses, 1.6.1 2From Mindfu lness A Practical Guide to AwakeningThe Buddha called gratitude one of the most beautiful and rare qualities in the world.You might choose to read all the research papers on the epic happiness-promoting effects of gratitude and you might choose not to, but for gods sake dont drop them on your foot.

3 in 4 parents believe robots will deny their kids a future at work

3 in 4 parents believe robots will deny their kids a future at work3 in 4 parents believe robots will deny their kids a future at workThe robot takeover is on the horizon and were not prepared to face it. Two-thirds of U.S. adults believe that robots will be doing our jobs in the next 50 years, but in an interesting twist of hubris, 80% of those adults also think that their own personal jobs at least are safe in the upcoming robot purge. So todays adults are aware of the danger but think they will be passed over.But what does Americas future think about automation?3 in 4 parents concerned about childs future with automated worldIf you believe that children are our future, these future leaders are less optimistic about their fates.This past June and July, ORC International conducted a survey of over a 1,000 parents of school-aged children and teenagers for Junior Achievement USA about what they thought about robots and the global economy.Parents are overwhelmingly worried. Around 77% of parents said they were concerned about their childs ability to have a successful job when they grew up because of global competition and automation. The teenagers who would be facing this future felt the same and 77% of them also said they were concerned about automation hampering their job prospects.Junior Achievement thinks that the solution to this anxiety is more school.Many of the entry-level jobs we know today wont be around in the next decade, and many of the jobs oftomorrowhavent even been conceived of yet, Jack Kosakowski, CEO of Junior Achievement USA, said. Its important we encourage our young people to explore post-secondary education, whether that be a university, community college, or a technical or trade school. Having some level of technical training is going to be critical for future career success.It doesnt take a particularly sophisticated robot to replace youEducation and degrees may help some of us avoid an artificially-intelligent takeover, but automation is a global problem. It turns out nobodys safe. In an open letter to the United Nations, top business leaders, including Teslas Elon Musk, sounded the alarm on killer robots that would cause the third revolution in warfare. And as computational science researcherTaha Yesseri noted, it doesnt take a sophisticated killer robot to cause alarm. The dumb ones should worry us too.The bigger the ordnungsprinzip becomes and the more autonomous each bot is, the more complex and hence unpredictable the future behavior of the system will be, Yesseri said about simple Wikipedia bots. Those unpredictable rogue Wikipedia bots are just causing problems with editing content online.But Yesseri uses them as an example of whats to come self-driving cars and killer robots.In a future system with a large number of very sophisticated robots, the unexpected behavior could go beyond our imagination, he said. The individual concern for parents, kids, and researchers is that they could take our jobs and render us useless. But a larger concern for us all is that bots autonomous unpredictable nature could prove lethal.

Learn About the Airspeed Indicator

Learn About the Airspeed IndicatorLearn About the Airspeed IndicatorAn airplanes speed is measured in knots or miles per hour on an airspeed indicator inside the cockpit of the aircraft. The airspeed indicator is one of the basic aircraft arbeitsgerts and is of importance to pilots because adherence to safe operating speeds is imperative. Each airplane has its own specified airspeeds that the pilot needs to be aware of. Pilots need to know the speeds at which an airplane will take off, land, stall, and otherwise operate safely during different phases of flight.? The airspeed indicator works by comparing dynamic pressure (ram air pressure) and static pressure. This article pertains to conventional airspeed instruments as opposed to newer computerized systems found on technologically advanced aircraft. Airspeed indications on modern, computerized primary flight displays depict airspeed differently than described in this articleand are computed using modern sensor technology. Airspeed c an also be obtained from a GPS unit in equipped aircraft. How it Works The airspeed indicator is part of the pitot-static system, a differential pressure system that measures both dynamic air pressure from the pitot tube and static pressure from a static port. Inside the casing of the instrument is a sealed diaphragm that receives both static and dynamic pressure from the pitot tube. Static pressure is also measured from inside the casing but outside of the diaphragm. The static pressures from both inside and outside of the diaphragm cancel each other out, leaving a measurement of total dynamic pressure, or ram air pressure. As the airplane accelerates, the dynamic pressure from the pitot tube increases, causing the diaphragm to expand. Through mechanical linkage, this measurement of increased airspeed is shown in the airspeed indicator needle. Types of Airspeeds Indicated Airspeed IAS is the airspeed read directly from the airspeed indicator.Calibrated Airspeed CAS is the a ctual speed of the aircraft through the air, after being adjusted for position and instrument errors. The calibrated airspeed (as it compares to indicated airspeed) can be found in the aircrafts operating handbook.True Airspeed TAS is calibrated (or equivalent) airspeed adjusted for nonstandard pressure and temperature.Equivalent Airspeed EAS is calibrated airspeed adjusted for compressibility errors. Groundspeed The actual speed of the airplane over the ground, measured in knots or miles per hour. Groundspeed is true airspeed corrected for the effects of wind and is useful when flight planning.Mach Number The Mach number is the true airspeed of an aircraft as it is compared to the speed of sound. The speed of sound is known as Mach 1.0. High-speed aircraft have Mach meters instead of airspeed indicators. Markings and Limitations Small, single-engine airplanes use color-coded airspeed markings to help the pilot operate safely and efficiently. These markings are helpful because t hey depict crucial aircraft speeds, known as V-speeds. White Arc The white arc on airspeed indicators depicts the normal flap operating range. Inside of the white arc, full flaps can be used. The top of the white arc indicates the highest speed at which flaps can be extended during flight, and operating at speeds outside of the white arc with flaps down can be unsafe.Green Arc The green arc on an airspeed indicator represents the normal operating range of the airplane.Yellow Arc The yellow arc is a cautionary range of airspeeds. It is advised that pilots only operate in the yellow arc in calm air. Flying at speeds in the caution range during turbulence can be unsafe. Red Line At the top of the yellow arc is a red line, which represents the maximum allowable airspeed for the airplane. Airspeed Indicator Errors An airspeed indicator will be ineffective if there is a blockage of the pitot tube or static port or both. A blockage is most commonly the result of insects, water, or ice. If the pitot tube and its drain hole become blocked, the airspeed indicator acts like an altimeter, showing an increase in airspeed when the airplane climbs to a higher altitude and a decrease in airspeed during a descent. If the pitot tube becomes blocked and the drain hole remains open, the ram air pressure will bleed out through the drain hole, leaving only static pressure in the pitot tube. The new static pressure in the pitot tube would be equivalent to the static pressure from the static port, and the airspeed indicator would read 0. If the static port becomes blocked (but not the pitot tube), the airspeed indicator will work, but it will be inaccurate. Since the static air becomes trapped inside the casing at the altitude where the instrument stopped working, a climb will cause a lower than normal airspeed. When flying below the altitude at which the blockage occurred, the airspeed indicator will read higher than normal. Emergency Operation Some airplanes are equipped wi th pitot tube heating elements. Pitot heat is used as a preventative measure to stop ice from forming over the pitot tube and is activated when flying in cold weather. Many small aircraft are equipped with an alternate static source that can be activated by pulling a lever in the cockpit in the event that a static port becomes blocked. The new alternate static pressure is a lower pressure than outside new age pressure during flight, which results in slightly inaccurate instrument indications, but it provides a good enough indication to maintain positive aircraft control.
