Longing for some additional happiness in your life? Working waaaayyy to hard and needing some additional tools and community to feel supported?
This group began September 24th, and will continue on November 5th, in The Pearl, Downtown Portland (819 NW Glisan), 6:00pm – 8:00pm.
Loosely based on the best selling book, The Happiness Project, by Gretchen Rubin, this group will, “…swap ideas, build enthusiasm, give encouragement, and perhaps–most importantly–hold each other accountable. (Think AA and Weight Watchers.)”
This is more than leaning in–this is leaning WAY out. Let’s get this group rocking, so we can create more happiness in the world. There’s evidence to suggest that happy people live longer, earn more and have a better quality of life. Who doesn’t want that, right?
Benefits of a Happiness Project group include:
1. Structure and Accountability. Having an appointment to focus on something makes it more likely you’ll do it and it won’t slip to the bottom of the list. Also, once you’ve told someone else, you’ll have someone asking whether you’re keeping it!
2. New perspectives and ideas. When we think by ourselves for too long, our thoughts become lop-sided. A group reveals new insight into old issues by providing opinions, asking good questions and listening and repeating back what they hear.
3. Support. People often feel isolated. Just hearing that other people may experience the same difficulties can be very reassuring. Also, while it’s helpful to receive support providing support to others is also a powerful source of happiness.
4. Something fun and different. It’s fun to do something new and to meet new people—and it’s especially rewarding when you’re talking about a topics important and intimate as happiness.
If you ever wanted to start doing more for YOU and create a vibrant and fulfilled life, this is an opportunity to gather with others who want the same exact thing!
Next meeting date is Tuesday, November 5, 2013, 6:00pm – 8:00pm, at Cargill Communications, 819 NW Glisan, Portland.
