I recently went on a health retreat and one of the topics we talked about was "Happiness".
I have found that one of the many reasons clients come to a kinesiologist might be to figure out what is stopping them from being happy or how to bring more happiness into their life.
When asked sometimes what is happiness, it can be hard to describe or many people say " I will just know when I am happier, I will just feel it"
The wikipedia describes happiness as the following :
Happiness is a state of mind or feeling characterized by contentment, love, satisfaction, pleasure, or joy.
While direct measurement of happiness presents challenges, tools such as The Oxford Happiness Questionnaire is available to check you happiness ratings.
Give it a Try!

These are 10 points that you may wish to take on board in your pursuit to happiness ..
1/- Communication and community = connection
We need relationships in our life to help us feel a level of connection to each other
2/- Creativity
We are all creators, life becomes opportunities
3/- Reflection and time out
Pray , meditate, journal. This all helps us find ourselves and therefore a connection with self.
