We do it by making a mindful decision that we want to be happy.  We have the power to select our thoughts – so why not select thoughs that make us feel good?  We can make these mindful options in every single moment – by selecting to focus on what is working in our lives rather than complaining about what isn’t, by selecting books as well as television programs that make us feel great rather than depressed or upset, by selecting to be with people who uplift us rather than drag us down into negativity.

Thanks for your comment, Laurel. like the term bounce-back-ability!

I do believe there’s value in acknowledging as well as feeling “bad” emotions, however only if the person is able to release the unfavorable emotion without wallowing in it. I believe that there is a tipping point where somebody can get stuck in the negativity, which will only result in bringing much more of the exact same into their life.

I so agree with you, Ingrid! We always have the power to select even when it may seem like we don’t. The one caution I always provide myself, though, is to acknowledge as well as really feel my other emotions, enabling them to “tell” me what I requirement to understand as well as then make the option to relocation on toward feeling pleased again.

I believe the risk with the recent interest to happiness is that some people are forcing themselves into a false sense of optimism, ignoring the authentic pain or unhappiness they may feel about a situation. I believe true happiness comes from understanding as well as feeling a broad variety of emotions however being able to rapidly recuperate as well as get back to a pleased center. It’s resilience…bounce-back-ability!

Loved the picture of the pleased cat! fantastic post!

Well said. daily we make a option to let negativity or positivity into our lives – well we can make it a mindful option as well as select to integrate the positive.

We may not always be able to manage outside factors, however we have far much more manage over our inner lives than I believe many people realize. If we are miserable we have to take obligation for that emotion – nobody can force it on you. just so, we can select to be happy.

Clicker Training: What’s everything About?

By Gary Wilkes
February 28, 2018
From a dog’s point of view, obeying a command boils down to two easy problems; “What do you want me to do?” as well as “What do I get, if I do it?” To put this in human terms, the canine needs info about what to do as well as a motivation why he ought to do it.

Why?

Before you can instruct your canine anything, you have to satisfy the “why” part of the equation. discovering can be trying, tedious as well as difficult. Without adequate motivation, the canine is likely to get tired as well as trot off in browse of a wayward cat. When you find the things that will inspire your canine to work, you can begin linking them to “what” you want the canine to do.

What?

In the early stages of discovering a behavior, a canine needs remove info signals that mark which part of the habits “caused” success or failure. Each successful repetition links a bit much more info to the appropriate behavior—like putting one more piece in a photo puzzle. If the info is sloppy or ambiguous, it will take much more repetitions for the canine to kind out the “Big Picture.” If your info signal is sluggish or poorly timed, the wrong info is connected to the behavior—like trying to insert a piece from a different puzzle. With an efficient info signal, the portion of properly used pieces increases, as well as the puzzle is resolved faster.

Praise as an info Signal

Historically, the info signal of option for canine fitness instructors has been verbal praise. While it is natural for humans to utilize words to determine great behavior, dogs depend much more on the timing of the signal than the conceptual implying behind the words. because the canine doesn’t truly comprehend English, the signal you select to imply “good boy” is arbitrary. The results you get, however, are dictated by the dog’s capability to tie a provided signal to a behavior.

To get an concept of exactly how this works, phone call your canine as well as begin a bit game of fetch. pick an arbitrary point about half method across the room, as well as put a hand towel on the spot. Now, toss the sphere to ensure that it will go beyond, however directly over, the towel. As your canine runs toward the ball, he will necessarily pass over the towel. As your dog’s nose passes over the towel, state “good boy”. Don’t concern if your canine doesn’t respond to the words, yet. just pay close interest to precisely exactly how far the canine travels between the time you begin to state “good” as well as the time you surface “boy”.

Now let’s try it again. This time, instead of utilizing praise, clap your hands together just when to mark the behavior. If you view closely, you may see the most significant advantage to an instant clap—and the most significant drawback to utilizing praise. When you utilized praise to mark the behavior, the canine traveled a full body length while you stated “good boy”. By contrast, the clap marked the accurate immediate the dog’s nose crossed the towel. When you are utilizing verbal praise, you can only approximate the immediate the canine performs the appropriate part of the behavior.

So, in our rug exercise, praise will enable you to tell the canine that there is a truly essential patch of rug in your house, about two to three feet in diameter. The exact same dog, sensing an instant signal, can determine that there was something essential about a patch of rug about six inches in diameter. Within a few repetitions, the private claps might determine a specific location as well as a specific posture, while the praise would still be working on the location. The point is that a quicker info signal can improve your dog’s speed in seeing the “big picture.”

“INFO”

While it is apparent that an info signal should be quick, its speed is not the only criterion you should consider. even clicker fitness instructors sometimes fail to remember that no single signal can work in every situation. rather than being written in stone, the listing of acceptable info signals is dependent on the physical capabilities of the animal, the training task as well as environment.

For instance, clickers as well as praise won’t work if the canine can’t hear them, which makes a whistle a much better tool for distance work. Likewise, hand signals are quite useless if the canine is visually impaired or the habits needs the canine to be looking away from the handler. rather than believing of particular signals, it is much more helpful to look at the requirements that dictate which signal works finest at any type of provided time. right here are four guidelines that can assist you assess an “INFO” signal.

I–Immediate: You should be able to present the signal in connection with the appropriate behavior. It is the timing of the signal that tells the animal WHICH habits to remember.

N–Noticeable: Whether you utilize a sight, noise or odor as your info signal, it should be quickly acknowledgednull
