When its out of your control, trust the coping strategy of a master

When its out of your control, trust the coping strategy of a masterWhen its out of your control, trust the coping strategy of a masterIts human nature to look in the mirror and compare ourselves to the images our culture throws at us every day. Being young, successful, body beautiful and wealthy are what our society thrives on, reminding us of what we should aspire to be. And so, we invest in expensive products, clothes, gym memberships, degrees, makeup, youth enhancements and the like grasping to experience what ansicht images project happiness. Yet the U.S. remains the most depressed and overmedicated nation in the world.When we look outside ourselves for acceptance and dont find it we reach for control as a lever of hope. A plethora of industries are happy to take your money to feed your need to belong among the pretty people yet after you buy the Prada handbag, MBA, Rolex watch and Mercedes as a solution to the void you feel and the initial thrill subsides you are still left wit h the same feeling of elend being enough. More purchases of the same only leave the hole emptier. So, then we start trying to control things, people, and situations with expectations masquerading as healthy goals. This makes for more unhappiness and very poor leadership because while goals are strategic, expectations are emotional and if unmet leave us frustrated, angry and defeated.Next, you throw your energy even more intensely into your work because you are an achiever and working harder always paid off in the past. But the stress is affecting your peace, relationships, effectiveness and sleep. I call this cycle the treadmill to nowhere.Everything I read and study regarding how to break free of this cycle of exhaustion points profoundly to a Master who successfully dealt with oppression far greater than not having his dream job. The work of Viktor E. Frankl sheds poetic wisdom on the shadows of unmet expectations. Frankl welches a Viennese neurologist and psychiatrist as well as a Holocaust survivor.In 1942, Frankl, his wife, and his parents were deported to the Nazi Theresienstadt Ghetto. There Frankl worked as a general practitioner in a clinic. When his skills in psychiatry were noticed, he was assigned to the psychiatric care ward, establishing a unit to help camp newcomers to overcome shock and grief. Later he set up a suicide watch.Frankls concentration camp experience led him to discover the importance of finding meaning in all forms of existence, even the most brutal ones, and thus, a reason to continue living. Frankl became one of the key figures in existential therapy and a prominent source of inspiration for humanistic psychologists.Everything can be taken from a man but one thing the last of the human freedoms- to choose ones attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose ones own way, said Frankl.On October 19, 1944, close to the end of the War, Frankl and his wife Tilly were transported to the Auschwitz concentration camp. He was moved to a camp affiliated with Dachau, where he spent five months working as a slave laborer and then as a physician until April 27, 1945, when the camp was liberated by American soldiers. Frankls mother Elsa and brother Walter were murdered at Auschwitz. His wife was moved to Bergen-Belsen, where she, too, was murdered.Occasionally I looked at the sky, where the stars were fading and the pink light of the morning was beginning to spread behind a dark bank of clouds, wrote Frankl. But my mind clung to my wifes image, imagining it with an uncanny acuteness. I heard her answering me, saw her smile, her frank and encouraging look. Real or not, her look was then more luminous than the sun which was beginning to rise.A thought transfixed me for the first time in my life I saw the truth as it is set into song by so many poets, proclaimed as the final wisdom by so many thinkers. The truth that love is the ultimate and the highest goal to which Man can aspire. Then I grasped the meaning of the greatest secret that human poetry and human thought and belief have to impart The salvation of Man is through love and in love. I understood how a man who has nothing left in this world still may know bliss, be it only for a brief moment, in the contemplation of his beloved. In a standort of utter desolation, when Man cannot express himself in positive action, when his only achievement may consist in enduring his sufferings in the right way an honorable way in such a position Man can, through loving contemplation of the image he carries of his beloved, achieve fulfillment.A man who had lost everything found meaning in love and choice. Frankls most well-known quote is my favorite quote of all time and, for me, shows the value of vulnerability in even the most severe oppression.Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.Viktor Frankl had much time to contemplate how to transform d esolation into a will to thrive. His eloquent wisdom inspired this simple coach to create the PAUSE Caf Strategy to help clients move past self-doubt to innovation in the theme she learned from this Master. The next time a situation trips your emotions into a fight-or-flight response where you feel threatened, overwhelmed or angry try this practice to find the space Frankl references.The auszeit Caf strategyP Pause and take a deep breath.A Ask yourself, What am I feeling right now?U Untangle the difference between assumptions and the truth.S Step back and allow the pin-hole view of the world to be broader.E Extend empathy to yourself.

5 Career Ruts Everyone Gets Into at Some Point - The Muse

5 Career Ruts Everyone Gets Into at Some Point - The Muse5 Career Ruts Everyone Gets Into at Some PointBeing stuck in a rut sucks. If theres one thing I could wish for you, its that you never have to deal with a situation that holds you back from being happy, successful, or fulfilled.That, unfortunately, is an unrealistic wish (even mora unrealistic than wishing I could turn everything I touch into chocolate). Because like failure, ruts are inevitable. And the good news about that not-so-fun fact is that they ultimately help make us stronger, smarter, and more successful individuals.Just look at a few people in your life who you admire- how many of them went through a struggle that forced them to reevaluate their goals or path? Since Im someone who doesnt love surprises (except the birthday kind), Im going to tell you right now exactly which ruts youll find yourself in throughout your career. 1. Being BoredNo matter how much you love your job, how many hours you work, or how large th e pile of to-dos is on your desk, there will come a time when you will find yourself suddenly underwhelmed, unmotivated, or unstimulated at your job for days on end. It could be for a number of reasons. Maybe your boss has stopped challenging you. Or, maybe youre making the mistake of not seeking out challenges, or looking for exciting projects. Or, maybe youve found yourself in a new role that isnt as exciting as you thought it would be.Whatever the reason, boredom is usually pretty fixable. You can ask your boss for better projects, or see if you can chip in on what other teams are working on, or find ways to keep learning, like taking online classes or attending conferences related to your industry. If that still leaves you no better than you were before, it may be time to move on and find a role thats more engaging.2. Feeling UnhappyUnhappiness is a more serious sign to keep an eye on. Why is it so much more common than we realize? Because for one, were fickle beings- were alway s changing our minds and shifting our priorities. Which means the things we want in our careers now may change one, two, five years from now. Thats OKThe other reason is because sometimes were really bad at recognizing when were miserable. Well place the blame on other things (woke up on the wrong side of the bed, had a bad commute, a crazy boss) rather than accept that something bigger is affecting us.Figure out what is making you unhappy and use that information to decide what your next steps will be.Maybe it means transferring roles internally, changing companies, or switching industries entirely. Or maybe its even more simple than that. Maybe its talking to your boss about an overwhelming workload. Or asking your co-worker to stop talking to you when youre working at your desk. Whatever the cause, take the time to identify it and start making moves to solve it.3. Doubting Your Career PathUnless youre very lucky, you wont find yourself satisfied in the same role in the same indus try throughout your entire career. Dont beat yourself up if youre unsure about what you want to do next- even if youve spent 10 years in your role and are now doubting everything. The good news is that its never too late to make a change, whatever that means for you. The even better news is that you dont have to have it all figured out when youre 30, 40, 50. As Benjamin Franklin said, When you are finished changing, youre finished. Dont be finished.4. Feeling Like Nothings Going RightEver have those months when nothings going right? You keep messing up basic tasks, your manager keeps sending your work back with heavy revisions, your co-workers keep shutting down your ideas?It could be your fault- if youre job searching, for example, and getting nowhere, it might be worth reconsidering youre approach. But it could also be due to external forces, like a company restructuring or a bad boss. If so, its worth figuring out whether these can be fixed, and if not, what steps you can take to better tischset yourself up for success.5. Having to Deal With a (Big) ChangeYour company just went through a huge merger, half your department got laid off, you got laid off, they brought in a new boss, or oyouve moved to an entirely new city for a job.One day, something major will happen that will shake up how you do things and think about your career. While its practically impossible to prepare for something like this, remember that its common. And, that its salvageable. And, that the feelings of loss and doubt and frustration and sadness wont last forever. And, that youll come out stronger and more equipped to handle anything that comes your way. If you dont believe me, read this.The last thing I want to emphasize is that its easy to feel alone when youre in these ruts, or that no one understands what youre going through. But I can confidently tell you that everyone experiences these. Why else would I write this article? So, dont be afraid to admit when youre in one- if you don t, youll regret not making a change sooner.

Study Eating during certain windows may reduce risk for cancer

Study Eating during certain windows may reduce risk for cancerStudy Eating during certain windows may reduce risk for cancerThe Endocrine Societys Annual meeting yielded some fascinating finds this past Saturday. Two independent studies in particular present strong data regarding the hormonal impact our eating schedule has on overall wellness.Adnin Zaman and her colleagues showcased promising research exploring how eating later in the day effects BMI and weight gain. An analyst of 31 overweight and obese adults provided further insight into the way our bodys ability to convert calories into energy diminishes as the day grows old, seeing us pack on fat more readily.Unfortunately, over-eating past dinner time might additionally come with graver consequences than an expanding waistline.Follow Ladders on FlipboardFollow Ladders magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and moreAccording to the lead researcher behind a new study, Dr. Manasi D as, an adherence to a time-restricted diet can dramatically reduce your risk for breast cancer.Three studies, one astonishing conclusionIn the first study, mice were put on a 60% fat diet regiment in order to make them obese. After 10 weeks passed, they were split into two groups.One group was given access to food 24 hours a day while the other group was only permitted to eat in an eight-hour window period at nighttime (rodents are nocturnal thus the most active at night). Three weeks into their assigned diets, the mice were injected with breast cancer cells.The second study organized the genetically modified mice into two groups one group was given 24-hour access to food and the other was assigned time-restricted access to food.In the final study, mice that adhered to a low-fat diet were given either a saline control, or an insulin pump, and then examined against mice on a high-fat diet put on drugs meant to reduce insulin levels.An ultrasound scan of all the rodents involved in t he three studies revealed that the time-restricted diet drastically slowed the satz of tumor growth in mice on a high-fat diet and lean mice alike. Dr. Das explains The results suggest the anti-tumor effect of time-restricted eating is at least partially due to lowering levels of insulin, suggesting this intervention may be effective in breast cancer prevention and therapy.Lower insulin levels concurrently impede the speed of growth of cancer cells, in addition to slowing down the development of tumors.Its also important to note that the mice put on medication that decreased insulin levels (diazoxide), experienced a slower growth rate than mice fitted with an insulin pump.You might also enjoyNew neuroscience reveals 4 rituals that will make you happyStrangers know your social class in the first seven words you say, study finds10 lessons from Benjamin Franklins daily schedule that will ersatzdarsteller your productivityThe worst mistakes you can make in an interview, according to 12 CEOs10 habits of mentally strong people

Here are the 11 habits of supremely happy people

Here are the 11 habits of supremely happy peopleHere are the 11 habits of supremely happy peopleWere always chasing something- be it a promotion, a new car, or a significant other. This leads to the belief that, When (blank) happens, Ill finally be happy.While these major events do make us happy at first, research shows this happiness doesnt last. A study from Northwestern University measured the happiness levels of regular people against those who had won large lottery prizes the year prior. The researchers were surprised to discover that the happiness ratings of both groups were practicallyidentical.The mistaken elendion that major life events dictate your happiness and sadness is so prevalent that psychologists have a name for itimpactbias. The reality is, event-based happiness is fleeting.Follow Ladders on FlipboardFollow Ladders magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and moreHappiness is synthetic- you either create it, or you do nt. Happiness that lasts is earned through your habits. Supremely happy people have honed habits that maintain their happiness day in, day out. Try out their habits, and see what they do for youThey slow down to appreciate lifes little pleasures.By nature, we fall into routines. In some ways, this is a good thing. It saves precious brainpower and creates comfort. However, sometimes you get so caught up in your routine that you fail to appreciate the little things in life. Happy people know how important it is to savor the taste of their meal, revel in the amazing conversation they just had, or even just step outside to take a deep breath of fresh air.They exercise.Getting your body moving for as little as 10 minutes releases GABA, a neurotransmitter that makes your brain feel soothed and keeps you in control of your impulses. Happy people schedule regular exercise and follow through on it because they know it pays huge dividends for their mood.They spend money on other people.Resear ch shows that spending money on other people makes you much happier than spending it on yourself. This is especially true of small things that demonstrate effort, such as going out of your way to buy your friend a book that you know they will like.They surround themselves with the right people.Happiness spreads through people. Surrounding yourself with happy people builds confidence, stimulates creativity, and its flat-out fun. Hanging around negative people has the opposite effect. They want people to join their pity party so that they can feel better about themselves. Think of it this way If a person were smoking, would you sit there all afternoon inhaling the second-hand smoke? Youd distance yourself, and you should do the same with negative people.They stay positive.Bad things happen to everyone, including happy people. Instead of complaining about how things could have been or should have been, happy people reflect on everything theyre grateful for. Then they find the best solu tion available to the problem, tackle it, and move on. Nothing fuels unhappiness quite like pessimism. The problem with a pessimistic attitude, apart from the damage it does to your mood, is that it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy if you expect bad things, youre more likely to experience negative events. Pessimistic thoughts are hard to shake off until you recognize how illogical they are. Force yourself to look at the facts, and youll see that things are not nearly as bad as they seem.They get enough sleep.Ive beaten this one to death over the years and cant say enough about the importance of sleep to improving your mood, focus, and self-control. When you sleep, your brain literally recharges, removing toxic proteins that accumulate during the day as byproducts of normal neuronal activity. This ensures that you wake up alert and clear-headed. Your energy, attention, and memory are all reduced when you dont get enough quality sleep. Sleep deprivation also raises stress hormone le vels on its own, even without a stressor present. Happy people make sleep a priority, because it makes them feel great and they know how lousy they feel when theyre sleep deprived.They have deep conversations.Happy people know that happiness and substance go hand-in-hand. They avoid gossip, small talk, and judging others. Instead they focus on meaningful interactions. They engage with other people on a deeper level, because they know that doing so feels good, builds an emotional connection, and is an interesting way to learn.They help others.Taking the time to help people not only makes them happy, but it also makes you happy. Helping other people gives you a surge of oxytocin, serotonin, and dopamine, all of which create good feelings. In a Harvard study, employees who helped others were 10 times more likely to be focused at work and 40% more likely to get a promotion. The same study showed that people who consistently provided social support were the most likely to be happy during times of high stress. As long as you make certain that you arent overcommitting yourself, helping others is sure to have a positive influence on your mood.They make an effort to be happy.No one wakes up feeling happy every day and supremely happy people are no exception. They just work at it harder than everyone else. They know how easy it is to get sucked into a routine where you dont monitor your emotions or actively try to be happy and positive. Happy people constantly evaluate their moods and make decisions with their happiness in mind.They do things in-person.Happy people only let technology do their talking when absolutely necessary. The menschengerecht brain is wired for in-person interaction, so happy people will jump at the chance to drive across town to see a friend or meet face-to-face because it makes them feel good.They have a growth mindset.Peoples core attitudes fall into one of two categories a fixed mindset or a growth mindset. With a fixed mindset, you believe you are who you are and you cannot change. This creates problems when youre challenged, because anything that appears to be more than you can handle is bound to make you feel hopeless and overwhelmed. People with a growth mindset believe that they can improve with effort. This makes them happier because they are better at handling difficulties. They also outperform those with a fixed mindset because they embrace challenges, treating them as opportunities to learn something new.Bringing It All TogetherHappiness can be tough to maintain, but investing in the right habits pays off.

Technical Recruiter (East Coast US or Canada - Remote) One of the biggest challenges in almost all industries today is achieving gender parity. Gender diversity provides huge benefits in the workplace. pWhile some industries have made significant advancements in gender diversity, some industries lag further behind... and the construction industry is well-known for being in the latter category. If someone says, construction workers, youll likely picture a group of men in yellow hard hats analyzing an architects plans or laying bricks on top of a scaffold. And men at work signs only help to reinforce this image.pThis stereotype is rooted in reality. When was the last time you actually spotted a woman on a construction site? Or hired a female plumber or carpenter? Your answer is most likely never. In fact, the Bureau of Labor Statisticsreports that only 3.4% of the total of 8.3 1000000 construction emp loyees are women.pBut the construction industry has a lot more to offer than steel-toed boots and hard hats, and it needs women to help advance the industry in this era of rapid change. Here are 5 reasons why women joining the workforce or looking to make a pivot should consider a career in construction.h21. Fuel Innovation/h2pNot only is diversity the socially and morally right thing to do, but it is also actually an excellent business strategy. pResearch presented in the Harvard Business Reviewshows that diverse teams develop more innovative ideas. This is further supported by a study conducted by Gallupon the performance of gender-diverse teams versus single-gender teams, which found that the difference in backgrounds and perspectives led to better business performance and problem-solving. h22. Capitalize on Demand/h2pThe construction industry is currently experiencing a labor shortage. The industry itself is booming and projected to be one of the fastest-growing industries, with total spending projected to exceed $1.45 trillion in 2023/a. However, most construction companies are unable to meet the rising demand. pAccording to the Associated General Contractors of America/a, more than 80% of contractors are experiencing difficulties filling hourly craft positions that represent the bulk of the construction workforce.pAnd demand isnt limited to individual contributor roles. Given the industry boom, there are a number of open stable and high-paying roles (any project managers out there?) waiting for the right candidateh23. Leadership Opportunities/h2pAccording to the Bureau of Labor Statistics/a, women compose only 7.7% of the total 1 million managerial positions in construction.br/pBut given the highly collaborative nature of construction work, more women in leadership roles would help drive innovation and enhance productivity.Furthermore, as a woman in construction in a leadership position, youd have the unique opportunity to drive change for the industry a nd make it a more attractive option for other women.h24. High-Income Potential/h2pSalaries for many skilled positions in construction are on the rise, making a construction career a prime choice for women looking for a high-paying job,pThe 2018 Construction Craft Salary Surveyconducted by the National Center for Construction Education and Research revealed that salaries for many skilled craft areas are increasing. Project managers and project supervisors topped the list at $92,523 and $88,355, respectively. The next set of highest-paying jobs include those of combo welders ($71,067), instrumentation technicians ($70,080), pipe welders ($69,222), power line workers ($68,262) and industrial electricians ($67,269). Of the 32 categories of workers in the survey, 19 positions earned an average salary of $60,000 or higher.h25. Sense of accomplishment/h2p The construction industry can give employees a unique sense of achievement. Yes, the job is stressful and the work can be demanding, but nothing beats the feeling of being able to build something from the ground up. pHow many professionals in other industries can point at a school, a hospital, or a skyscraper and say I helped build that?pThe construction industry has a long way to go in combating gender bias and supporting women in the workforce, but given the current demand for workers, theres no better time to pick up a sledgehammer (figurative or literal) and smash the gender stereotypes plaguing the construction industry.
