How to be happier through positive psychology

Is it possible to use science to become happier? While joy often feels like a spur of the moment emotion, you have the power to be a happy person. Positive psychology is a branch of psychology that explores happiness and fulfillment. Like traditional psychology, positive psychology takes a scientific approach to understanding the inner workings of the mind and the factors that influence your state of mental well-being. By using positive psychology in various areas of your life, you can feel happier and more fulfilled.

Four ways to increase happiness on and off the job  

According to the Canadian Mental Health Association, 20 per cent of Canadians will experience mental illness in their lifetime and all Canadians can expect to be indirectly affected by mental illness through a friend, family member or colleague. At the same time, studies based on Statistics Canada's community health survey suggest that 90 per cent of Canadians are either satisfied or very satisfied with their lives. These statistics reflect the resiliency of the nation and can serve as inspiration to increase happiness in all areas of your life.

Building resiliency in your life      


Being passed over for a promotion, failing a professional exam, breaking up with the person you were certain was the one. Just when you think you're on track to achieving your goals, life can throw you for a loop and turn your dreams upside down.

These loops can come in many forms: rejection, change and yes, even success, can leave you questioning the meaning of it all and wondering if you'll ever recover.

While some people are naturally inclined to be more resilient than others, the good news is that resiliency, or the ability to bounce back from life's hurdles, can be learned.
