How do teachers pursue professional happiness?
Pursuing happiness education is the essence and goal of education. It originates from the name of the school district in Happy Village, from the development of education, and reflects the concern and care for the value of life. As early as 2007, our unit put forward the concept of "developing happiness education and enjoying education happiness". Once this concept was put forward, it was highly recognized by experts and scholars. Because it tells the essence of education, it is also full of characteristics of the times and conforms to the trend of the times. So how should happiness education be carried out? How to make teachers feel the joy of education is a problem worthy of our in-depth consideration in practice.

To carry out happiness education in schools, we should first pay attention to teachers' happiness, because only teachers' happiness can lead to students' happiness, and only students' happiness can lead to strong development momentum in schools. Happy teachers cultivate happy students, and happy students build a happy campus.

Whether teachers can feel the happiness of education depends to a great extent on whether teachers can experience the happiness brought by their careers, that is to say, having a sense of professional happiness is the source for teachers to feel the happiness of education.

Sonia lyubomirsky put forward the formula of happiness in her book Happiness is 40% More:

Happiness =50% heredity+10% environment +40% personal behavior.

It can be seen from this formula that the key to personal happiness lies in our subjective consciousness and behavior. Our happiness level has 40% room for improvement, that is, 40% is something we can control and change, and this 40% can be improved or reduced through our daily behavior and thinking.

According to positive psychology, subjective well-being is a person's lasting sense of satisfaction, pleasure and health. Happiness is a subjective feeling, and there is no absolute external standard, because it is influenced by many factors. In fact, environmental factors only play a role of 10%. Therefore, thinking about teachers' professional happiness from the happiness formula should focus on these 40%.

First of all, teachers should understand the significance of their profession, that is, to implement the importance of their profession from concept to behavior, which is also the basis for teachers to have a sense of professional happiness. Martin, the father of positive psychology. Seyrig Mann pointed out in his book True Happiness that happiness has three components: happiness, meaning and dedication. In the workplace, people often love because of happiness and devote themselves to love. A happy life is based on positive emotions and emotional experiences.

Dominant tone Happiness is the most important positive emotional experience. A happy life is happy, but this does not mean that people will be happy as long as they are happy. Teachers should upgrade their careers to careers and find their own life value in education and teaching. A person's happiness always comes after the success of a meaningful career. Only a sense of accomplishment can produce happiness. Happiness is one of the important dimensions of teachers' professional development. A truly happy teacher, a teacher

Occupation is not a means of making a living, but life itself. They regard work not as repetition and creation, but as sacrifice and enjoyment.

Professor Zhang Meiling from the Institute of Psychology, Chinese Academy of Sciences put forward three good suggestions. She believes that if teachers want to get professional happiness, they must first form a virtuous circle of "loving teaching" in teaching practice. This is an important factor for teachers to build happiness; Secondly, teachers should strive to build a three-dimensional life. Three-dimensional life is composed of length, width, height and moderation. Finally, teachers should use the concept of positive psychology to learn the correct, optimistic and positive way of thinking about people and things, learn how to treat unhappiness, reflect on today truthfully, face today confidently and look forward to tomorrow rationally. Find my ideal self, my true self and others' idea of me.

I sincerely hope that each of our teachers can carefully plan themselves, love what I love, do what I do, and use our wisdom to create beautiful poems belonging to each of us.
