In this conversation, Carrie covers some of the key tenets behind achieving happiness and productivity in work and in life. Carrie and I chatted about:
Why our brains can get stuck in negative mode, and how to reorient our thinking towards the positive
How to build confidence when we’re feeling low
Why criticism can sting so much and leave more of a lasting impact than positive feedback
Why we can end up feeling stuck in our jobs, and what we can do to start to feel unstuck
How we can bring more joy into our careers and our lives by exploring new strengths and passions
How we can make work feel more fun and playful, and
How we can ultimately live a more happy and fulfilling life
My favorite thing about this interview was the list of techniques that Carrie suggested to help us get unstuck. They are:
List of 100 accomplishments: list 100 things that you did well, accomplished, or that turned out well for you whenever you’re needing a boost in confidence or productivity
Curiosity journal: spend a few days noticing everything you’re curious about and capturing it in a journal. Then reflect back and see what pops out to you, and get curious about how you can pursue it or learn more about it
‘What-if’ exercise: if you’re on the fence about something or feeling stuck, list out 10+ potential solutions that start with ‘what-if?’ Don’t filter out any ideas! Just list everything that comes to mind
Physical, mental, emotional, spiritual: On a sheet of paper, draw four quadrants for each category, and list the things in that category that make you feel happy and fulfilled. Make sure you’re doing at least a few of those things every day or week
The Unicorn hat: find an unconventional way to make a boring task more fun
