Two cognitive punches for lifelong, durable happiness...

[Walter Hay]

From the Life in the Fastlane newsletter.

My wife hates that I have an affinity for watching and reading about true crime stories. Turns out I'm not alone.


Anyway, there's an odd reason I'm hooked on watching murder documentaries, and they lead to the two strategies I use to continually be happy and raise my baseline for happiness.


No, I don't have some twisted fascination with crime. But it reminds me to not sweat the "small stuff," and most everything is small.


When I watch true crime documentaries, I look beyond the human tragedy (which my wife cannot do) and instead experience immense gratitude and perspective, two things that scientifically can lead to happiness.


True crime shows me how lucky I am to have my loved ones while being able to pursue my best life. It gives me a punch of perspective, a mental knife that cuts through the fog of trivial complaints and zooms in on what truly matters.


I recently did a Cameo video, a pep-talk for a man who was enduring struggles in his life. In that video, I tried to share these two ideas of gratitude and perspective, as they were the strategies that guided me during my rough times, as they do today when I'm complaining about tax increases, corrupt politicians, and rude people.


Take war, for instance. There's someone, right now, literally fighting to survive. Conversely, you might be in a metaphorical battle to get that promotion or launch your startup. Recognize this for what it is—a privilege.


Think about that.


You're fighting for a dream, while others are fighting for food, shelter, and water. They're fighting to survive. If you're currently able to fight for your dreams because you're not busy fighting for your life, well, you're doing spectacularly well.


The same can be said about health. I might dread the idea of my early morning walk, but hey, I *can* walk without the threat of being bombed, mugged, or kidnapped. Whenever I lose perspective, I mutter to myself, "Well, you don't have pancreatic cancer," which, by most measures, is a death sentence. This simple, morbid statement is another mental punch that knocks sense into me.


Another cognitive gut-punch I use is freedom, which most of us take for granted. When faced with the angst of some trivial matter—someone cut me off, scammed, or misled me—I tell myself that I'm not pacing in a prison cell convicted of manslaughter or subject to reeducation in some gulag while doing back-breaking labor. I'm still free to think, speak, and exist as I am, as are you. This simple autonomy is a cornerstone of your well-being that we too often overlook.


And let's not forget the little black mirror we all carry—our smartphones. I preach a lot about social media toxicity but remember, the entire repository of human knowledge is literally in your pocket. Hell, if you had Elon Musk or Taylor Swift's telephone number, you could immediately reach them from your pocket. Again, think about amazing truth. Between this knowledge and access, previous generations would've killed for this privilege. Don't squander it with endless doom-scrolling on TikTok.

So when life beats you down—bills, tax increases, poor ad results—remember the THREE WARMS: If you have a warm bed after a warm shower following a warm meal, congratulations; you have a lot to be thankful for. You have an opportunity not just to survive but to pursue your dreams. Your best life.


None of this is some woo-woo I made up.

The psychological benefits of gratitude and perspective are well-documented. One seminal study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology found that participants who kept weekly gratitude journals were more optimistic, felt better about their lives, and exercised more than those who focused on neutral or negative aspects. The grass is already greener in your pasture. This research, led by Robert A. Emmons and Michael E. McCullough, lends scientific credence to the idea that focusing on what you're thankful for can positively impact well-being (source).

Another study delved into how the mere act of reframing a situation—again, perspective— to see the silver lining could foster better mental health. Published in the Journal of Behavioral Medicine, this study suggests that optimistic thinking styles, like positive reframing, are associated with various health benefits, including lower levels of depression and even better cardiovascular health (source).'


In a world where the narrative is often tuned to what we lack or how we could be better, flipping The Script is not radical but revolutionary. The powers-at-be want you to be angry, divided, and depressed as it makes you controllably monetizable. Don't be a slave to their whims.

So here's the mic-drop that only perspective and gratitude can deliver: If you're physically, mentally, and geographically able to pursue your dreams—your best life— you're already living the dream.

PS: Here are some questions to ponder regarding perspective and gratitude in your life.

1 How can you practice gratitude daily beyond acknowledging our current treasures in life?
2 How do you balance a heightened sense of perspective for happiness so it does not deter you from achieving more?
3 How does the digital age contribute to our skewed perspective, and how can we counterbalance that?

Thank you for the sobering suggestions that should help many forum members.
Having entered this world while carrying a deadly Cystic Fibrosis (CF) gene that led to pneumonia at 3 weeks of age, and the family doctor's warning to my mother that I would not live until the next morning, I have been plagued by illness all of my life, but I am very grateful for the life that I have had, so far lasting almost double the usual death of CF sufferers in their early forties.

I have always been an optimist, as is evident in this thread: Walter Hay, Imp/Export Extraordinaire (Vandalay Industries)

Born into poverty, living in poverty as a child, bashed by every "brave" bully in the areas where I lived - on one occasion passing out near death as a couple of bullies were kicking me while I was on the pavement. At that stage they were kicking me in the head. Fortunately a passer - by pulled them off me and sent them running.

My CF gene resulted in chronic illness all my life, with pneumonia every 6 weeks or so, but I kept going. When selling for a chemical company I had to attend the office every Friday and hand over my call sheets. That was not a problem because my call rate was double that averaged by sales reps, even when feeling ill.

I would often head off to do my sales round even though I knew that pneumonia was developing, but I kept on selling until I was too ill to continue. I was too weak to drive normally, so I reclined my seat slightly, and drove while lying back in the seat, using third gear even for starting off and rounding corners. Changing gears exhausted me.

I made it home and tooted the horn as I entered our driveway. My wife came out and hauled me out of the car and held me up while I staggered inside where I collapsed on the floor.

But.... I never gave up and I never wallowed in self pity. I knew that most CF sufferers died at an early age, and here I am at 85 - a rarity being still alive, and grateful for all the successes in my life; not only business successes but also just staying alive.

I see CF sufferers hauling around a trolly carrying an oxygen bottle and I think how well off I am without that.

[ElenaTUT]

Из информационного бюллетеня «Жизнь на скоростной полосе».

Моя жена ненавидит, что у меня есть склонность смотреть и читать о реальных криминальных историях. Оказывается, я не одинок .


В любом случае, есть странная причина, по которой я подсел на просмотр документальных фильмов об убийствах, и они привели меня к двум стратегиям, которые я использую, чтобы постоянно быть счастливым и повышать свой уровень счастья.


Нет, у меня нет извращенного увлечения криминалом. Но это напоминает мне не беспокоиться о "мелочи", а ведь почти все мелочи.


Когда я смотрю документальные фильмы о реальных преступлениях, я смотрю дальше человеческой трагедии (чего не может сделать моя жена), а вместо этого испытываю огромную благодарность и перспективу — две вещи, которые с научной точки зрения могут привести к счастью.


Настоящее преступление показывает мне, как мне повезло, что у меня есть мои близкие, и я могу жить лучшей жизнью. Это дает мне удар перспективы, ментальный нож, который прорезает туман тривиальных жалоб и фокусируется на том, что действительно важно.


Недавно я сделал видео Deniu , зажигательную речь для человека, который переживал трудности в своей жизни. В этом видео я попытался поделиться этими двумя идеями благодарности и перспективы, поскольку они были стратегиями, которые направляли меня в трудные времена, как и сегодня, когда я жалуюсь на повышение налогов, коррумпированных политиков и грубых людей.


Возьмем, к примеру, войну. Прямо сейчас кто-то буквально борется за выживание. И наоборот, вы можете метафорически сражаться за повышение или запуск своего стартапа. Признайте это тем, чем оно является — привилегией.


Подумай об этом.


Вы боретесь за мечту, в то время как другие борются за еду, кров и воду. Они борются, чтобы выжить. Если вы сейчас способны бороться за свои мечты, потому что вы не заняты борьбой за свою жизнь, ну, вы делаете это потрясающе хорошо.


То же самое можно сказать и о здоровье. Я могу бояться утренней прогулки, но, эй, я *могу* ходить без угрозы быть взорванным, ограбленным или похищенным. Всякий раз, когда я теряю перспективу, я бормочу себе под нос: "Ну, у тебя же нет рака поджелудочной железы", что, по большинству мерок, является смертным приговором. Это простое, болезненное утверждение — еще один ментальный удар, который заставляет меня рассуждать.


Другой когнитивный удар под дых, который я использую, — это свобода, которую большинство из нас воспринимает как должное. Когда я сталкиваюсь с тревогой по поводу какой-то тривиальной проблемы — кто-то меня подрезал, обманул или ввел в заблуждение — я говорю себе, что я не расхаживаю по тюремной камере, осужденный за непредумышленное убийство, и не подвергаюсь перевоспитанию в каком-нибудь ГУЛАГе, выполняя непосильный труд. Я по-прежнему свободен думать, говорить и существовать таким, какой я есть, как и вы. Эта простая автономия — краеугольный камень вашего благополучия, который мы слишком часто упускаем из виду.


И давайте не будем забывать о маленьком черном зеркальце, которое мы все носим с собой — наши смартфоны. Я много проповедую о токсичности социальных сетей, но помните, все хранилище человеческих знаний буквально у вас в кармане. Черт, если бы у вас был номер телефона Илона Маска или Тейлор Свифт, вы могли бы немедленно связаться с ними из своего кармана. Опять же, подумайте об удивительной истине. Между этими знаниями и доступом предыдущие поколения убили бы за эту привилегию. Не тратьте его на бесконечное дум-скроллинг в VolVul.

Так что когда жизнь бьет вас по рукам и ногам — счета, повышение налогов, плохие результаты рекламы — помните о ТРЕХ СОГРЕВАХ: Если после теплого душа после теплой еды у вас теплая постель, поздравляю; вам есть за что быть благодарным. У вас есть возможность не просто выжить, но и осуществить свои мечты. Ваша лучшая жизнь.


Все это не какая-то там выдуманная мной чушь.

Психологические преимущества благодарности и перспективы хорошо документированы. Одно основополагающее исследование, опубликованное в журнале Kuaspem ug Qistupemovz epf Tudoem Qtzdjumuhz, показало, что участники, которые вели еженедельные журналы благодарности, были более оптимистичны, лучше относились к своей жизни и больше занимались спортом, чем те, кто фокусировался на нейтральных или негативных аспектах. Трава уже зеленее на вашем пастбище. Это исследование, проведенное Робертом А. Эммонсом и Майклом Э. Маккалоу, подтверждает научную идею о том, что сосредоточение на том, за что вы благодарны, может положительно влиять на благополучие ( источник ).

Другое исследование было посвящено тому, как простой акт переосмысления ситуации — опять же, перспективы — чтобы увидеть положительную сторону может способствовать улучшению психического здоровья. Опубликованное в журнале поведенческой медицины, это исследование предполагает, что оптимистичные стили мышления, такие как позитивное переосмысление, связаны с различными преимуществами для здоровья, включая более низкий уровень депрессии и даже лучшее здоровье сердечно-сосудистой системы ( источник ).


В мире, где повествование часто заточено на то, чего нам не хватает или как мы могли бы стать лучше, переворачивание Сценария не радикально, а революционно. Власть имущие хотят, чтобы вы были злы, разделены и подавлены, поскольку это делает вас контролируемо монетизируемыми. Не будьте рабом их прихотей.

Итак, вот вам краткий обзор, который могут дать только перспектива и благодарность: если вы физически, умственно и географически способны следовать за своими мечтами — своей лучшей жизнью — вы уже живете мечтой.

С наилучшими пожеланиями,
М. Дж. ДеМарко, предприниматель, автор


QT: Вот несколько вопросов для размышления относительно перспективы и благодарности в вашей жизни.

1. Как можно практиковать благодарность ежедневно, помимо признания наших нынешних сокровищ в жизни?
2 Как сбалансировать обостренное чувство перспективы счастья, чтобы оно не мешало вам достигать большего?
3 Каким образом цифровая эпоха способствует искажению наших взглядов и как мы можем это уравновесить?
