HAPPIER RELATIONSHIPS
HAPPIER RELATIONSHIPS EVENT DEVELOPMENT
I’ve enjoyed the creative process to development the Happier Relationships Workshop content being initially delivered on 14th and 28th February.
I’ve drawn upon a variety of materials from Personal Development, Spirituality, The Science of Happiness, blog posts, articles and personal experience to connect ideas and develop the workshop on Happier Relationships. I am really looking forward to share these and help impact happier relationships.
The 2 sessions are part 1 and part 2 and will involve stories, science of happiness research, activities, video and slide presentation. Open to all, free, bring pen, notebook and friends.
Happier Relationships part 1 and 2
Action for Happiness have a February Calendar on Friendship/Relationships which help stimulate ideas for action for you to take.
There is a 21 Day Simple Living Challenge on 29th February. It’s free and online. You get an email each day with an idea or activity to reflect on and action if you so wish. The email has links to a video, article or further information if you want to explore more.
A great way to shift mindset, try something new and fun and observe the benefits that lead to happiness.

Day 1 Declutter Your Home. Give Away At Least One Thing You Don't Need.
Day 2 Make Time To Unplug. Reduce Screen Time Today.
Day 3 Spend Ten Minutes In Silence
