Happiness Challenge


Happiness - something we could all do with more of at this time of year. Todays sunshine and walk on the beach to see the cygnets, certainly gave me a dose of happiness. Just watching them in the afternoon glow was a tonic. I have just received the latest update on the "Action for Happiness movement." Seems to be going from strength to strength, and now given some TV coverage by the BBC. It included some short videos showing that there are steps we can all take to make ourselves happier.
Introduction to the Happiness Challenge
Video 1: Can we learn to be happier?
Video 2: Being grateful for the good things
Video 3: Importance of kindness and relationships
Video 4: Can mindfulness help us deal with stress?
If a walk on the beach and the Swans dont do it for you, maybe you could try this. I was impressed by the 10 minute meditation video by former Buddhist monk Andy Puddicombe.
