What is happiness from a coaching point of view?

Happiness is based on the idea of that reinforcements (pleasant experiences) are greater than punishments, both in our actions and in our information processing.

That is, what we do leads us to have more income than expenses in the medium and long term due to our answers, but also that we perceive it in our brain, because if it is not as if it does not exist (fact that happens habitually).

What are the foundations of happiness training?

These are the main steps and requirements to apply coaching applied to the achievement of happiness.

1. Know where we are and what we want

The key is to have objective and true data on happiness. Normally, many of the content that we have about it is wrong, so when we use them believing they are true and we are not happy, we collapse and we fall prey to frustration because we do not know what is not working; it is simply that the data are wrong, and obviously the results cannot be good, since we are going against correct knowledge.

In this sense, it is important to use all our intelligence as accurately as possible, using to maximize Applied Real Intelligence, always guided by what should be the main goal in our hierarchy of vital priorities.

Intelligence is the ability to discern between main and accessory, and due to viruses they disturb our intelligence, produced by our genetic, cultural and pathological programs, it is difficult for us to be right, staying too often with what is secondary, losing what is primary, which is why external results and interpretations are usually bad, not creating good and new possibilities for the happiness.

2. Stability

We must also achieve the highest average happiness share in our lives in a stable way, without looking at any other consideration or excuse not to prioritize it, because otherwise, we will always have something to not feel good and be unhappy.

3. Use good attribution strategies

On the other hand, it is basic examine the attribution of the causes we do of what happens to us, in all areas, both positive and negative. That is, to be able to really know what causes the different situations that we live in.

Thus, if we misinterpret what is happening in and around us, it is impossible to obtain knowledge to generate valid conclusions and make accurate modifications, and we will not create useful rules that serve us.

Always keep in mind the need to promote with motivation and persistence the use of Intelligent Responses (IRS), which are those that lead us to Profitable Responses (RRRR) vitally; always looking at the medium and long term, because if we do not make this calculation with our important behaviors both in thought and in action, it will be really impossible for us to be happy.

4. Apply Global Intelligence (GI)

This consists of using our real intelligence in all areas of our life; work, relationships, hobbies, rest... without leaving any, since we have to get a passing score in all, as well What about physical matters: although we have very good sugar, if we have cholesterol through the roof we will not enjoy good Health.

5. Encourage the observation and care of our Smart Life Consumption (CVI)

In this way, we will tend to wonder how we are spending our time during the days, weeks, months and years. Time runs without us noticing, and we often forget that it is limited, that what we have spent will not return. Therefore, it is convenient to question learning to do it the best we can and as soon as possible.
