I want to inspire you to discover the kind of happiness that forms a strong foundation for life success and sustains you when challenges come your way.It’s an inside job, as you change your focus to what happiness truly is for you, and reach more often for all that creates happiness in your world.
It’s also a habit. As the philosopher said, we are what we repeatedly do, and I believe that by building habits of happiness, you can move yourself forward from wherever you are right now. I don’t know exactly how happy you feel at this moment. I do know that in being open to this Adventure you are committed to becoming even happier, and to experiencing more happiness in your life.
Your Happiness Adventure begins today. Like all adventures, it is a journey of exploration. I’m honoured to act as your guide and I am also excited that I don’t know exactly how our joint Adventure will evolve. That will depend upon what we all discover.
One thing I do know for certain - we will be increasing the sum total of personal and collective happiness as we journey together.
So what happens now?
Subscribe to the Happiness Adventure and, starting on Monday 13th July, you will receive two inspiring and challenging emails a week from me based on my seven themes of happiness:
Week One: Be Positive
Week Two: Only Connect
Week Three: Write Yourself Happy
Week Four: Appreciate Your Nature
Week Five: Have Fun
Week Six: Be Inspired
Week Seven: Make a Difference
This is to help you build habits of happiness. Each day I’ll be offering you some wisdom from the treasure trove of current research and thinking on what creates happiness, together with a simple suggestion for action.
These actions will all be little things that you can do quickly and easily, and whilst everything is optional in this Adventure of yours, you’ll get more out of it if you fully participate. By joining the Adventure as a Founder Member you’ll get free access for the next 8 weeks to all the resources, and can go back over anything that you miss.
At the end of the seven weeks you will be ready to choose the personal Happiness Habits that you are going to work with going forward. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves just yet!
All that’s needed right now is for you to subscribe to the Happiness Adventure blog by clicking on the link "create new account" on the left hand menu.
Oh,and whilst you are looking forward to your first helping of happiness, here is a happiness action for you - go out and discover a really nice notebook to record your insights and reflections along your way. Every adventure needs a travel journal and you'll enjoy looking back on yours in the months to come.
I am delighted that you are joining me in reaching for happiness and I wish you all the best in your world as you take your first steps in this adventure.
It's fantastic to see more and more people logging onto happiness. Can't wait to get going properly on 1st June. In the meantime...spread the word and give people the link www.reachforhappiness.co.uk
Tell them it's where all the cool happy people hang out.
Are you looking forward to getting clear on what happiness is for you?
What an adventure! Who knows what delights will be discovered?
A beautiful sunshiny day.
Walking by the river in York.
Remembering a few weeks ago when we released butterflies into the local park.
Sometimes there are no words for happiness.
Just the memory of the butterfly's wings, cradled before inevitable solo flight...
You are welcome to the Adventure, all who have now joined.
It has already started for you.
The Happiness Adventure was born yesterday and Jeni celebrated it in a big tent in a park with Fatboy beanbags and 12 special people who are all, in their unique ways, making the world a happier place. Thank you all of you - you make me very happy!
Invitations to the first Starfish Happiness Adventurers will be issued in very short order. It's going to be a magical carpet ride, so get ready to hold on tight...
