A Noun Called ‘Happiness’

I’ve been working on something with a few clients lately – a way to ‘tune in’ to more happiness. The way it works is this:

‘Happiness’ is a noun, which means it could be a person, place or thing.

So, the exercise is in three-parts:

Part One - Identify a person who makes you happy. The person could be living or not, someone you’ve met, or just read/heard about, someone famous or not. Then spend some time being with, or even just thinking about, that person.

Part Two - Identify a place that makes you happy. Maybe it’s defined by its geography, like a town or city. Maybe it’s more of a type of place, like a bustling metropolis or a quiet community or a vacation spot. Regardless, spend some time there – even if it’s only in your imagination – so that you feel its rejuvenative powers.

Part Three - Identify a thing. A picture, a color, a time of day, a favorite old tree, the bright shiny sun, etc.

Give yourself permission to spend a few minutes with your favorite person, place, and thing – even if it’s just in your mind. See how relaxed, at peace, and happier it can make you.

Isn’t it great how you can’t help but smile about your favorite…nouns?!
