How do you measure happiness at work? Many of us follow this simple equation:

         work hard + work harder = success; success = happiness!

The only problem with that is it's pretty difficult to remain or obtain happiness when our work goals are consistently changing. For example, let's say you've been performing so well that you are promoted to a new position. Once in that position, you now have to prove that you can perform the responsibilities of that position. Based on the way we measure happiness, if you felt happy about the promotion at one point, odds are it lasted only as long as it took you to dive into the new, more daunting workload.

Shawn Achor, CEO of Good Think, Inc. and professor at Harvard University, lectures on this thing called 'positive psychology'. According to Achor we can improve happiness at work by simply changing the way we think.

In his studies, Achor found that 75% of job success is predicted by optimism levels, social support and your ability to see success as a challenge instead of a threat. Having a positive mindset will actually lead to improved intelligence, creativity and energy.

So how do we foster this positivity? Achor encourages us to perform positive acts each day including:

• Random acts of kindness
• Keeping Gratitude journal
• Exercising regularly
• and Meditating

Take twelve minutes out of your day to watch Achor's hilarious and informative TedTalk on H3Daily.com. It may just put a little (or a big) smile on your face.

Wine & Weight Loss

We know "resolve dissolves with alcohol;" so how do you manage the real world? Should you give up a beautiful glass of wine with dinner? Will you ever have a glass of wine again? Of course you will; the question is how will you manage it? With a few tricks from a restaurant insider and a little focus you can have your wine and drink it too.  

• Know your salesman - Find a local shop you like, frequent them often, let them know what you like to drink. A good wine salesperson will send you into new and exciting directions; ones you didn't even know existed.
• Plan- As you plan your meals for the week, also plan the nights you will have some vino. Stop by your local wine merchant they can help you pair your meals with a great wine.
• Measure - Get a measuring cup; use your measuring cup; learn what 3 ounces look like. Pouring 3 ounces at a time it slows down your drinking.
• Going out - A little secret from a restaurant professional - you can order half a glass of wine! All you have to do is ask.
