§  Större och mindre saker
–  Self-awareness = nyckeln till allt. Lära dig förstå och lyssna på dig själv. Veta vad
som ger dig energi, tar energi, när du är som bäst, hur du kan använda dina styrkor. •  Bra -> bättre på att förstå varandra – emotionell intelligens
–  Mindfulness
•  “enhanced attention to and awareness of current experiences or present reality”
•  Att kunna vara närvarande I stunden, gdkänna det som sker
–  Job crafting/työtuunaus
•  Omdefiniera ens jobb/liv så det ger en en positiv identitet och meningsfullhet: vad jag gör,
hur jag ser på det jag gör, med vem jag gör det
–  Jobba med dina vanor
•  Skapa positiva vanor – göra mer av det vi är bra på och som får oss att må bra
•  Fokusera på det som är bra – förstärka det, istället för att fixa det som är fel. Öva oss att
se det som är bra. •  Lära oss att bromsa negativa vanor
–  Men också riktigt små saker: •  Glass och godis, skratt, att man ser varandra I ögonen
–  Två saker över de övriga
•  Sociala relationer
•  Sköta om din fysik: hjärnan är en muskel: den behlver glukos, syre och vila
