Does your happiness depend on achieving certain goals or desires? Does your life or loved one need to be in certain ways for you to be happy?
That’s how I viewed happiness earlier in my life. I focused on striving for what I had thought would make me happy. Although I was quite good at performing and achieving my goals, I still felt something was missing in my life.
On the surface, everything seemed to be fine, but I felt like a zombie. It started with declining energy level, then my eyes were losing the spark. Different health issues later popped up, and I was getting upset easily and more frequently.
It has taken me over a decade to find my way back home. I have learned that happiness is an inside out job. There is nobody, not any kind of achievement, or escape that will make happiness last.
I now see happiness as an underlying state of peace and well-being. The ups and downs in life still affect me, but I trust that the Universe is on my side no matter what is happening. This allows me to relax.
Instead of focusing on doing, I’ve learned that my way of being brings more impactful changes to people and situations. In face of stressors, the underlying state helps me regain my footing faster.
A few years ago, I realized many studies were done on this inner happiness phenomenon. My mentor calls it Happy for No Reason. Even the Dalai Lama wrote about it in The Art of Happiness!
Cultivating happiness from the inside out is a game changer. We are in control of our happiness when external circumstances aren’t predictable. It is also a pathway to develop a stronger connection with our soul and life purpose.
That’s why I am offering Building an Inner Home of Happiness. In this 4-week course, you will learn simple but powerful practices to calm your mind, nourish your heart, energize your body, and enliven your spirit.
Here are the topics I will delve into:
- raising your happiness set-point despite circumstances and genetics
- retraining the mind that has a negativity bias
- transforming emotional turmoil and making peace with your past
- energizing your body with happy cells
- connecting with your soul and living your purpose
The course includes the following:
- A happiness self-assessment
- Four weekly classes, 75 minutes each
- A bonus group coaching session
This course will be in hybrid format, meaning you can attend the course in the City of Davis or join us via Zoom.
I am collaborating with Davis Community Church on this offer. The church is generously offering scholarships to anyone who wants to take the course. You pay based on your budget, and the church will cover the rest!
I encourage you to take advantage of this unique offer. We might not have the same arrangement in the future. Sign up for the course through the church here.
With Love and Blessings,
