Women Are Less Happy Today Than They Were 35 Years Ago

Trend 1:

Page 6: REPORT: The 4 Most Disturbing Trends Facing All Mothers Today
Page 7: REPORT: The 4 Most Disturbing Trends Facing All Mothers Today

• According to a new study by the research team Stevenson and Wolfers, professors at Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, “The Paradox of Declining Female Happiness,” women report being a lot less happy then they used to be 35 years ago.

• The study states that this trend cannot be attributed to one single social phenomenon, but it does attempt to explore some of the possibilities such as expanded opportunities for women, higher divorce rates, wage gaps and financial challenges.

• But the one that was only briefly mentioned although seemed to have the most potential to explain this phenomenon is that of the modern moms almost constant state of busyness.

The Busy Mom

• According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics Research, 60.7% of women with children under 3 years old were in the labor force in 2010

• During the time period between 2000 and 2002, 79.4% of women who worked during pregnancy had returned to the workforce within a year of their first childbirth.

• In addition to work, Arlie Hochschild’s and Anne Machung state in their book, The Second Shift (1989), that women have maintained the emotional responsibility for home and family.

• According to recent statistics from the Working Mother Clean House Survey, only 20% of married working moms share housework equally with their spouses.

Alarming Results

Katrina Alcorn, journalist and blogger surveyed 600 working parents (96% of the respondents were women) in 2011 about stress and its effects on their health. She got some pretty alarming results:

• 80% catch up on work nights and weekends

• 81% worry they will burn out

• 88% said they suffer from at least one stress-related health problem since becoming a working parent.

• 59% have problems with anxiety

• 43% struggle with depression

“It is incredibly easy to get caught up in an activity trap, in the busy-ness of life, to work harder and harder at climbing the ladder of success only to discover it's leaning against the wrong wall. It is possible to be busy — very busy — without being very effective at building a life for yourself.”

Stephen Covey, 1987, “Seven Habits of Highly Effective People”

Perfectionism Can Kill YouTrend 2:

Page 16: REPORT: The 4 Most Disturbing Trends Facing All Mothers Today
Page 17: REPORT: The 4 Most Disturbing Trends Facing All Mothers Today

• The following study showed that the personality trait of perfectionism is linked to poor physical health and an increased risk of death.

• Dr. Prem Fry’s study found that those with high perfectionism scores, meaning they placed high expectations on themselves to be perfect, had a 51-percent increased risk of death compared to those with low scores.

• The researchers suspect high levels of stress and anxiety, which are known to be linked with perfectionism, might contribute to the decrease in lifespan.

• Another study found that at work, 38% of women did not feel they met the high standards they set themselves, compared with 24% of men.When it came to home and family life, 30% of women felt they were failing to meet the standards they wanted to compared with 17% of men.

Women Get Sadder With Age; Men Get Happier

Trend 3:

Page 22: REPORT: The 4 Most Disturbing Trends Facing All Mothers Today
Page 23: REPORT: The 4 Most Disturbing Trends Facing All Mothers Today

Love and Money• A study found that women are, on average, happier than men in early

adulthood – but the glow wears off with time. Specifically, after the age of 48, men's overall happiness exceeds women's happiness.

• These patterns of overall happiness correlate to patterns in two significant aspects of life satisfaction: family and finances.

• Early in adult life women are more likely than men to fulfill their material goods and family life aspirations and their satisfaction in these areas of life is higher than mens and so too is their overall happiness.

• In later life it is "men [who] come closer to fulfilling their aspirations, are more satisfied with their family lives and financial situations, and are the happier of the two."

• Some age milestones:41: Age at which men's financial satisfaction exceeds women's financial satisfaction48: Age at which men's overall happiness exceeds women's overall happiness64: Age at which men's satisfaction with family life exceeds women's.

Are you cutting yourself some slack?

• Another possible reason for the difference in happiness levels between men and women as we age is workload and depression.

• In a recent study, Katrina Leupp from the University of Washington found that career women are less likely to show symptoms of stress compared to housewives. But when they these career moms don’t cut themselves any slack and put unrealistic expectations to balance career and home, they become more prone to depression.

• Women who go into employment expecting it to be difficult -- 'I'm going to have to work full time and do the laundry at night,' but who are accepting of that are less likely to be frustrated than women who expect things to be more equal with their partners.

Trend 4:

Page 31: REPORT: The 4 Most Disturbing Trends Facing All Mothers Today

Rather shop for groceries...• Dan Gilbert, author of Stumbling on Happiness has found that

marital satisfaction decreases dramatically after the birth of the first child—and increases only when the last child has left home. He also ascertains that parents are happier grocery shopping and even sleeping than spending time with their kids.

• Dr. Gilbert’s premise in the book is that people have the inability to predict what will make them happy or sad.

• In 2004, psychologist Daniel Kahneman, and his colleagues published a paper tracking the experience of 909 women going about their daily lives.

• The women were asked to give a general happiness assessment of their previous day and to reconstruct a diary of their activities.They were then questioned in detail about each event.

• “Intimate relations” brought women the most pleasure, followed by socializing. All the way down at number twelve of sixteen in the rankings was “taking care of my children.” Childcare was only slightly more pleasurable than “computer / internet / email.”

What are we focusing on?• Robin Simon, professor of sociology at Wake Forest

University says that “No group of parents, whether married, single, step or empty nesters, reported significantly greater emotional wellbeing than non-parents. Of the three major components of adult life — employment, friendship and parenthood — raising children is the only one that doesn’t promote wellbeing.”

• Research that found a significant increase in life satisfaction for both men and women one year before the birth of their child and during the birth year, but then noted a sharp drop within one year after the birth. Four years later, parents were no happier than they were at pre-child levels.

• The research presumed that parents are more likely to focus on mundane duties such as the school run or mealtimes, rather than the less frequent but more happiness-inducing moments such as a first smile, first step, or even just a goodnight cuddle.

If I had my child to raise all over again,I'd build self-esteem first, and the house later.I'd finger-paint more, and point the finger less.I would do less correcting and more connecting.

I'd take my eyes off my watch, and watch with my eyes.I'd take more hikes and fly more kites.

I'd stop playing serious, and seriously play.I would run through more fields and gaze at more stars.

I'd do more hugging and less tugging.

-Diane Loomans, from "If I Had My Child To Raise Over Again"

Secret Sauce to HappinessWould more clothes make you happier? How about a bigger house, more stuff, more money, a better job, cooler friends?

Yeah, maybe it would...for like a week or two, maybe a few months. But then what? More stuff, more friends, more money to fill that craving?

What about freedom, self-defined freedom? Freedom to determine your own actions, behavior and thoughts? What about the feeling of self- reliance, self-sufficiency? That YOU are in charge of your life. How would THAT make you feel?

The ability to define and direct who we are and what our life looks and feels like is the root of all happiness...really, it is!

Page 39: REPORT: The 4 Most Disturbing Trends Facing All Mothers Today
Page 40: REPORT: The 4 Most Disturbing Trends Facing All Mothers Today

• Psychologists Ronald Fischer, PhD, and Diana Boer, PhD. state in their report in the The Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, the thing that makes us most happy, beyond money, perfection, success and popularity is "autonomy" - defined as "the feeling that your life - its activities and habits -- are self-chosen and self-endorsed."

• Researcher Angus Campbell emphatically endorses the perks of autonomy. "Having a strong sense of controlling one's life is a more dependable predictor of positive feelings of well-being than any of the objective conditions of life we have considered," says Campbell.

• A University of Michigan nationwide survey also sings the praises of autonomy - reporting how the 15% of Americans who claimed they felt "in control of their lives" also raved about having "extraordinarily positive feelings of happiness."

Learned Helplessness

• The concept of autonomy or lack there of reminds me of the series of studies Seligman researched in the 60s, that looked at the concept of Learned Helplessness.

• After research was done on dogs, Seilgman extended the theory of learned helpless to humans. He however, began to find exceptions to the theory, people who did not get depressed, even after many bad life experiences. Seligman discovered that a depressed person thought about the bad event in more pessimistic ways than a non-depressed person. He called this thinking, "explanatory style” and said that there were two types - optimistic and pessimistic.

• So what does that have to do with autonomy you may ask?

Well, a person with a high level of autonomy tends to be naturally resilient and optimistic - anything but helpless. She will bounce back more easily from setbacks and will have clear beliefs in her capabilities to find solutions and craft her life in a way that feels good.

Life can feel amazing!

• Looking back on our trends, life could look a tad dim on the happiness front. However, the life skill of autonomy and optimism can be learned.

• Life Coaching has emerged on the scene in the last decade as a powerful and effective way for people to both achieve their goals and improve their quality of life.

• A study done recently by Dr. Anthony Grant from Sydney University explored the impact of life coaching on goal attainment, metacognition and mental health.

• His results indicate that life coaching increased goal attainment as well as significantly reducing 'the participants' reported levels of depression, anxiety and stress, with most reporting a significantly enhanced quality of life'.

Do something different!

• “Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” - Albert Einstein

• All habits can be changed with practice and repetition. But it takes work. Recent research found that it can take anywhere from 18 to 254 days to change a habit!

• The way we think is habitual too...and can be changed!

• Remember Dr. Seligman, our learned helplessness guy? Well, he believes that our explanatory style, the way we think and make sense of the world, can be changed.

• In a recent study of depressed patients he found that by using a technique that identifies and corrects erroneous habits of thought*, he was able to change the styles of the patients from pessimistic to optimistic and that the change persisted one year after.

• Dr. Edward E. Jones, a psychologist at Princeton University expands on this and says: “Our expectancies not only affect how we see reality but also affect reality itself.”

What people are saying...• “After completing the Mommy Meltdown Cure, I now feel that I have the keys to be the kind of mother and wife

I've admired for so long.  Kind, patient, loving, funny, and most of all ... happy & joyful.  Thank you so much, Sigrid.  I am sharing my learnings with other Moms in my life who I'm close to.  You are changing the world, one Mommy at a time. - E.H

• Working with Sigrid has opened a whole new world to me. She gave me the tools to change my constant negative thinking and asked the right questions to bring out new awarenesses in me. I am really grateful for contacting her. Meeting with Sigrid has definitely changed the way I deal with the things that life throws at me. Sigrid has taught me I can bounce back much more easily from stress. That has made a huge impact on my everyday life and my happiness. Sigrid herself is the living example of what she is teaching. I think I have never met another person with so much positive energy. - B.G

• I could fill her entire blog up with all of the insights that I have acquired thanks to her guidance and wise words. I no longer fight my day. I accept what the universe is putting before me and do my best to learn from the lessons sent to me. I am a happier, more fulfilled and joyful person because the universe loved me enough to put her in my path. She is a light and guides others with the glow she emanates. She has guided me to a place filled with trust, acceptance, joy and love. And I am so glad that she is in the world helping others find the answers that they need in order to live a more fulfilled, joyful life. - A.B

• Sigrid asked the essential questions that made me reevaluate my conventional wisdom. I was able to look at my situation with fresh eyes. Thanks to her, I feel more like I can trust this exciting process called life! - B.S

• I have had a meditation practice for years and I am active with a local zen center. You bring it all full circle for me in my life and as a parent. You are helping me to become the mommy I have always wanted to be. I am manifesting my mommyhood!!!! - L.N

Page 59: REPORT: The 4 Most Disturbing Trends Facing All Mothers Today
Page 60: REPORT: The 4 Most Disturbing Trends Facing All Mothers Today

• You are a huge inspiration and a real role-model. Everyday you shower golden stars of wisdom and love down on the entire planet. Something you said in one of your videos really inspired me! I had a huge a-ha moment when you said you just decided to be happy, even though everything in your life was not as you wished it to be. So simple, so deep, so genius. Thank you! -A.H

• Thank you for helping me change my life around. I can control my thoughts!! Who knew?!;-) Keep up the beautiful, heartfelt work. I am a better mommy (and person) because of you!!!!!! Bless your sweet heart. -M.C

• With the lessons I have learned through the Mommy Meltdown Cure, I see that my priorities are becoming aligned and I have found direction where I was lost and feeling hopeless.  But in addition to that, I am taking even more opportunities for quality time with my daughter and I am diffusing my husband's meltdowns and seeing more smiles from him after a stressful day at work instead of both of us winding up to a shouting match and both of our days ending on a bad note.  I still have work to do - some of it is going to be hard work, but when it comes to happiness the extra effort that I put into it will only mean that I see things get better and better. Thank you so much! - S.K

• Since starting the MMC program with Sigrid my whole perspective on mothering has dramatically changed.  I used to view everything I did as a demand, chore or task.  Everything felt like I “had to” do it, not I wanted to do it.  The demands of mothering were taking over my identity and sucking out every last bit of joy.  In my short time with Sigrid, I have discovered that I didn’t want to be “that mother” anymore. I have found a new way to be with my children on a whole new level, a very conscious level.  And although it takes effort and constant reminders, it feels so much better and more natural.  My children are so easy to enjoy now and they respond much more positively to me.  Thank you Sigrid for everything you have taught me and for giving me the joy back that my family was longing for. - H.E
