beat unhappiness by focusing on what’s in their control and not what’s beyond it. There’s little more common for any generation than fretting over things we can’t change. We’re happiest when we take responsibility for our “controllables.” Remember—the Declaration of Independence only gives people the right to pursue happiness. We have to catch it ourselves.

Three Reasons for Teen Unhappiness and What To Do About It 2145 1119 Not long ago, I read the results of a study on happiness, which focused on children under 18 years old. I was immediately enraptured with this global report because I assumed with all the resources and technology we have at our fingertips, American kids would likely be the happiest kids in the world. Ugh. No. Our students are not the happiest. They’re not even number two. Or three. Or even four. Some of the statistics were surprising as they revealed counter intuitive insights about what our students are going through and how they feel about it. Surprising Numbers on American Children’s and Teen’s Happiness worried-girl-413690_1280-1 Check out three results from this report from the “Global Kids Happiness Index.” 1. Compared to the world, American kids are not the happiest by far. While most define themselves as relatively “happy,” kids in countries like Mexico, Spain, Brazil and Germany are happier than U.S. kids. So while today’s parents work harder at it than past generations, our kids just aren’t as happy as they used to be. 2. White, affluent kids are less happy than minorities. Of the four largest ethnic populations in America, the happiest are African-Americans followed by Asians and Hispanics. Coming in fourth are Caucasians. So, while the majority of American wealth is enjoyed by whites, it doesn’t equate to happiness. 3. Kids are far more worried about recession and global problems than school. Thanks to ubiquitous technology and information, today’s teens are more stressed and distressed than past teen generations. Awareness of global problems results in students feeling more angst about global conflict than their own homework. Wow. As a teen, my biggest worries were math and making the baseball team. Three of the Greatest Sources of Happiness Like me, you might be wondering—what did students say was their greatest source of happiness? In other words, what actually made them happy? To this question, there was a wide array of responses, but topping the list were these three: Family – Time with family (extended and immediate) was the top answer. Friends – Time with peers they enjoy, at school, evenings or on-line. Free Time – Time to play, make up games, relax, and laugh. Three of the Greatest Reasons for Student’s Unhappiness Beyond this report on student happiness, I consulted the results from our 2016 Focus Groups with Generation Z. We met with four communities of middle school and high school students and made discoveries about their habits, attitudes and interests. Below are my conclusions on the biggest sources of unhappiness: 1. Anxiety I have written much on the angst today’s teens and twenty-somethings feel. Despite their random posts on Instagram, many worry over world problems because they’re exposed to them on social media. They have a higher rate of depression and anxiety than generations who were unexposed. 2. Entitlement A second source of unhappiness is obvious. Our generation (young and old) feels more “entitled” to possessions and perks than we did in the past. When we feel entitled to something, it’s easy to feel unhappy when things don’t go our way. Today, we have more “stuff”—but we have more expectations too. 3. FOMO Finally, our young feel the tangible “fear of missing out.” Because they can see on their screens all that’s going on among friends, the social media posts can create unhappiness because they’re not in the middle of all the fun, all the time. This gives new meaning to the old phrase—“ignorance is bliss.” Steps We Can Take with Students If you spend time with teens who appear unhappy, why not talk to them about it. Get them to acknowledge why they are unhappy. Then, try suggesting three simple tasks. These are pretty timeless. I’ve seen them work as recently as last month. 1. Make a Gratitude List The quickest way out of feeling down is to recall what’s going right in our life. Have students actually make a list of the people and realities they’re grateful for. Then, discuss them. Gratitude is closely related to happiness and smiling. 2. Mono-Task and Solve One Problem Our unhappiness is often due to being overwhelmed. What if we suggest our students set aside most of what worries them, and focus on just one problem to solve. Then, mono-task—instead of multi-task. Achievement feels good. 3. Focus on “Controllables” Lastly, students can beat unhappiness by focusing on what’s in their control and not what’s beyond it. There’s little more common for any generation than fretting over things we can’t change. We’re happiest when we take responsibility for our “controllables.” Remember—the Declaration of Independence only gives people the right to pursue happiness. We have to catch it ourselves.

Evercoach Sponsored · What is the number one thing that stops coaches from developing a thriving business? Fear. Fear that they’re not good enough Fear that they will be judged Fear of charging their worth Fear to create products and premium offers. A fear to be rich, happy and successful (yup, you read that right), and so they unknowingly self-sabotage their own success. If you have any of these fears, you’re not alone. But, here’s the thing... When you started your coaching practice, most people probably told you to focus on getting clients or maximizing productivity. That’s not the best advice. Here’s why. Truth is, if you don’t prioritise eliminating all subconscious fears before doing anything else, then you are heading straight for a burn-out… if you haven’t burned out already. Because no matter what clever marketing strategy you use, or how many hours of hard work you put in, or how much networking you throw yourself into to attract clients… If any of these fears are still bubbling inside of you — even by a tiny bit — you’ll struggle to achieve the income, impact and freedom you desire. Is it your time to become an abundant coach? With Evercoach’s free 5-part video training series, “Abundant Coach”, you’ll have an exact roadmap to create a coaching business with high-paying, committed, dream clients that give you freedom, income and fulfillment.
