‘H’ is FOR happiness

What does ‘happiness’ mean to you? The answer might come to you straight away. If it doesn’t, you might like to spend some time reflecting. The Happiness Timeline can help.

Draw a line that represents a period of time that makes sense to you - it could be the last week, month, year or decade! Think about periods within that time where you felt at your happiest, plot them on the timeline. For each point, reflect on the following:

• What were you doing? / Who were you with?

• Specifically, what was it about the situation that made you feel happy?

• You might also like to reflect on the degree to which your personal values were being fulfilled at that time

Once complete, step back and observe any patterns or themes. What actions could you take to bring more of that happiness into your life right now?
