Creative Self Help - Can You Bottle Happiness?

Interactive happiness bottle

Happiness means different things to different people.  What lifts your spirits? What makes you laugh or smile? Create your own happiness bottle to lift your spirits on those grey days.


The following exercise retrains us to focus on the positive aspects of our day rather than the negative.


Scientific studies show that happier people are healthier, hard working, caring and more successful in their work and social lives. Positive emotions make people think faster and more creatively. But the same studies show that negative thoughts are deeply ingrained in the human psyche, and so we may have to make a conscious effort to change our thought habits for the better.


A feeling of happiness can be triggered by lots of different things – for instance a beautiful flower, sunshine on water, a fleeting moment of joy or contentment in a busy day, a laugh with friends, feeling valued, reflecting on something that has gone well – in fact anything that works for you.
