The Happiness Campaign

Which would we rather be... happy or rich?

Of course happy... then why do we spend so much time trying to be rich... and so little on identifying and proactively working on happiness?

Introducing the happiness campaign... ideas and simple excercises to build our happiness muscles.

The key to this campaign is understanding that happiness is "the pleasure of appreciating what I have".  

Imagine... if someone was blind for their whole life... and then, thanks to some new medical procedure, they got their sense of sight... we can just imagine them standing, smiling, and staring at, for example, a flower for hours noticing so many details, the colour, the shape, etc, etc.  Imagine how much money they would have paid to have that medical procedure done, millions of dollars!  Well, the unfortunate truth is that most of us do have the sense of sight (for free!) and just take it for granted... simply because we have never lost it (ironic isn't it!).

The happiness campaign seeks to increase our happiness through simple exercises to be able to better appreciate what we already have.

Level 1 Excercise - Happiness Top 50 List

Level 1 is 5 minutes a day for 5 days.  (or 25 minutes in 1 day)

On each of the 5 days please write down 10 items you are grateful for.
It can be your health, your family, even your fingers... whatever makes you happy.

The goal is to get to a list of 50 items you are grateful for.
