Finding Your Groove

08/26/2015

The habits of a vigorous mind are formed in contending with difficulties. Great necessities call out great virtues.
Abigail Adams

In The Sweet Spot: How to Find Your Groove at Home and Work (Ballantine Books), Christine Carter offers these suggestions on achieving happiness and productivity:

Start a new happy habit. The brain starts to wire itself for greater automaticity the first time we repeat a behavior.... Select a new habit that would make you happy if you did it every day.

Show compassion for strangers. Acts of compassion can help you shift from self-preoccupation to true connection and community.

Gain mastery. When you master an activity, you have great power with little strain. Gaining mastery often means facing difficulty, persisting and practicing.
