Careers skills for the twenty-first century professional ~ from entry to exit
Welcome to the Concordia Happiness Challenge!
The volatility of the markets, combined with the outbreak of Covid-19 is causing sleepless nights, a compulsion to monitor financial portfolios and an incessant amount of hand washing!
That is why I am thrilled that you decided to join Concordia’s very own happiness project where we will delve into the science of happiness and take our minds off of all the fear and uncertainty.
Every week, for the next four weeks, we invite you to join our happiness lab, and together we will learn how to move along the happiness continuum.
You will be tasked with a series of challenges to increase your happiness and you will learn how to transform your life by developing positive habits.
Make sure to print out the participant handout or have it close by during the sessions so you can follow along.
If you have any questions drop me a line at gill@lifesillstolbox.ca & don't forget to join the life skills toolbox tribe.
Below you will find our weekly challenges and more great happiness resources categorized by week.
Week One Happiness Challenges
Assess your happiness!
This assessment measures your “happiness habits”. Once complete, you will receive a brief report and guidance as to which behaviours will increase your happiness.
Take the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire and get a snapshot of your current level of happiness. You can retake the assessment at another point in time to determine any change. This is helpful if you are intentionally working to move along the happiness continuum.
Shift the Spotlight
This week retrain your brain to spot positive patterns.
The Gratitude
Exercise
1. For the next week make a list of 3 things you're grateful for
2. Vary the things on your list
