Gratitude and Journal Habit Immersion Training Course Celebration Dinner at Little Resham

Review

At various points in the year I take a moment to a review of the preceding time period and what is forthcoming. This is often at the end of the year with the Looking Back, Looking Forward workshop, the middle of the year and sometimes ad hoc too. This year I have had the mid year review in mind, thought about it in my head, made notes but not been able to write up and share till now.

Like journaling, writing and sharing the review helps me celebrate the wins, learn from the challenges, see growth and gratefully acknowledge the opportunities.

Here is review from 2021 and 2022.

2023: 6 month review Highlights

The year started with a key note presentation for an HR conference in Athens.

We launched a new program Inner Compass and continued with the Master Mind Program.

Took part in 2 podcasts : People on Purpose and Estrella of Happiness - Within You.

Delivered two 3 hour workshops on Gratitude for Wellbeing for the charity Mind in Enfield and Barnet and supported Mental Health Awareness Week on the theme of anxiety sharing resources daily in a dedicated WhatsApp group and Master Class on Anxiety.

Our flag ship 30 Day Gratitude and Journaling Habit Immersion Training Course celebrated it’s 3rd year. We positively impacted trainees when we ran the course in March and a last minute decision for June. June was opened as free gifted refresher to previous attendees.

We celebrated completion of the June course and three year anniversary for the first time with an in person celebration dinner (which was open invite for all Happy Life Habits Community members) at the restaurant Little Resham. We shared delicious, vegan food, conversations and connected deeper with the use of the gratitude cards.

To start the day with a positive focus we have a HLH Daily Quote Group.
Daily Quote, Question or Reflection. Max 1 a day, 4-7 days a week. A regular dose of positivity, happiness and meaning to help counter the world's negative bias.


I became an author! The ebook is “Every Day Happiness”.

I joined SoulBrite as a Wellness Coach, part of a team delivering wellbeing workshops into companies.

I am a hero and so can you be

I completed the 300 Day Heroic Coach to be a certified Heroic Performance Coach and also an Ambassador. This is a great personal development program and platform. Something for everyone who wants to learn, grow, change and make a positive impact. I really like the theory and practice delivered in short videos. audio are written format along with live training calls. You can check out the impact of the Heroic materials here in this research done by the Happiness Researcher Sonja Lyubomirsky and get free access to book summaries and great content.

The Heroic training has helped me focus on three areas:

  1. Energy

  2. Work

  3. Love

With each of these areas I define 3 elements:

  1. Identity

  2. Virtues

  3. Targets

Who I am or want to be in each area, my Heroic best self. How I want to show up to be that Heroic best self and the daily things I need to do to show up as best Heroic self. These are reviewed and committed to daily as part of morning routine.

I have got immersed again in voluntary roles for Jain faith based community groups and projects.

looking forward

Some of the the future plans and activities are:

Supporting World Values Day with some workshops

Continuing Gratitude Wellbeing Workshops for Mind In Enfield and Barnet. They have asked me to design and deliver a 10 week course in the Autumn.

30 Day Gratitude and Journaling Habit Immersion Training Course and Thanksgiving Dinner.

Reading 1 book a month - inspired by the book Limitless by Jim Kwik

Keep focus on Energy, Work and Love.

Keep sharing what I learn and making a positive impact.
