"Sebagaimana biasa, ketika kita mengenali suatu Tendensi, kita dapat berkomunikasi secara lebih efektif dengan orang tertentu." (Hal. 267). . . Selama ini saya mengetahui beberapa karakter semacam introvert, dkk lalu teori DISC yang sering dibahas di banyak buku, artikel dan berbagai platform. Lalu menemukan buku ini sungguh mengusik rasa ingin tahu saya. Apa lagi sih ini? Saya jatuh cinta dengan Gretchen Rubin setelah membaca karyanya 'The Happiness Project'. Buku ini menawarkan pengalaman baru dalam teori kepribadian. . . Teori 4 Tendensi membagi karakter manusia dalam Upholder, Questioner, Obliger, dan Rebel. Masing-masing punya ciri khas, kelebihan, kekurangan yang kadang saling bersinggungan dan terkadang sangat mencolok. Lewat buku ini saya jadi tahu kalau termasuk dalam Questioner. Sejak kecil saya hobi bertanya jika dihadapkan dalam perintah atau fakta baru. Saya suka melakukan riset hanya untuk hal sekelas bagaimana menentukan olahraga yang cocok dengan diri. Kenapa dulu waktu kecil saya dianggap sebagai anak menjengkelkan sementara ortu bisa meladeni sikap ceriwis saya yang juga beririsan dengan tendensi Rebel 😂 . . Tidak ada tendensi yang lebih baik. Dengan membaca buku ini, kita belajar mengenali kelebihan dan berdamai dengan kelemahan. Buku ini juga mengulas bagaimana cara berkomunikasi antar tendensi dalam hubungan romansa, orang tua dengan anak, pendidik hingga kantor. Buku yang layak dibaca oleh segala lapisan profesi untuk meningkatkan empati serta mengenali diri sendiri. . .

“The Happiness Project” by Gretchen Rubin

December - Boot camp perfect: Happiness

           This is the last blog post and it will not be that long because for December, it is about trying to put all that we learned into one month. Of course, I did this within one and a half months, so I sort of did the same thing. I tried my best to keep all the tasks that I can throughout the project. Because I was pressed for time and some personal inconveniences came up, I was not able to do utilize all of them within a day or even a week.

            I honestly really liked this project, so even though I did what I could within the time limit, I plan to re-read this book and actually try it again for the year, just like she did. I might also try another type of happiness project type book or one of the other readings that was suggested. I like how even with the short time; I actually do feel a bit happier than I already was. I was not exactly happy, nor was I depressed. I felt more in the middle, still trying to figure things out but feeling happy about what I am doing now. I realized that some of the activities and tasks that I put for myself to be happy, was some of the same ones that she suggested for her happiness project, and I am happy to read that I started out already trying to be happy. It made this project a bit easier to do, seeing as I already did some of the activities that I did to be happy. I hope to post more on this blog but in my own time, with my own experiences.

           And with that, this is the end of the book but not the end of my happiness project.

“The Happiness Project” by Gretchen Rubin

November - Attitude

          We are almost to the end with attitude in November. A positive attitude is what we had to have throughout this whole happiness project, but now we are going to focus on it. Positive thoughts lead to positive feelings, that lead to positive actions, back to positive thoughts, and so on in that cycle. It is what they teach you when you are a kid and it is true and it makes you happier.

          Laughing is the best medicine and what better way to feel happier than to just laugh out loud. We are not talking about the pity laugh kind of thing when you do not want to be rude, but the kind that hurt your sides because you just let go of your inhibitions and laugh your head off. Laughter is about feeling good and when you laugh, other people laugh, and everyone just feels better and happier in the moment.

          Using good manners is a good way to feel happy. Why should you find a way to make an argument of everything, even in a topic that you are not well versed in? It is better just to let people have their own opinions. It is also about common courtesy and kindness, knowing that it is a good thing to let others take your seat in a crowded bus or subway, or offering help, even if it looks like they are not struggling with anything.

          Next, we should give positive reviews. This is practically saying to say good things to people and yourself about what they or you do. Do not be hard on yourself or others. People respond well to positive feedback.

          Lastly, find an area of refuge. When you are feeling down or just need a break, a mental area of refuge is great place to think about. This is sort of like a safe space where you just think of good things that make you happy, so that you may continue forward. Rubin indicated that when we drift into our thoughts, we tend to think of things that make us feel anxious or angry. And area of refuge lets us think of other thoughts, so we do not need to feel anxious or angry from thoughts we can not control. Like I mentioned earlier, positive thoughts, to positive feelings, to positive actions, back to positive thoughts, and so on.
