Mental & Emotional Well-being

Optima EAP Thought of the Week

“The pursuit of happiness” is a phrase that runs contrary to how happiness is created. Achievements can certainly contribute to your sense of happiness, but you can also be happy while striving to meet your goals.
Happiness is not something to wish for or that you stumble upon with luck. Rather, it’s something you choose to experience in the present moment—it is created deliberately through your interpretation of yourself, your experiences, and the world.
