Find Your Happy

Product Information

Thanks to its brevity, this scale can easily be administered multiple times a day. Therefore, it has been applied in diary studies assessing fluctuations in mindfulness throughout a day.

Children can include anything that brings them happiness on a worksheet all about what makes them happy, such as:

How do we know what our happy place is if we keep doing the same things? It’s time to explore and indulge in curiosity. Oh love, been there. The awareness and honesty of the above statement set the tone for rest of Shannon’s wonderfully written and truly helpful book, Find Your Happy: An Inspirational Guide to Loving Life to Its Fullest.

When he's feeling blue and things aren't going quite right, he finds his mummy for a big snuggly hug to cheer him up. This suggestion is limiting and damaging to a large section of society. Yes, some people find happiness in these places, but others do not. Two versions of this scale are available. The first is the original 42-item measure (Ryff, 1989a; 1989b), and there is also a shortened 18-item version (Ryff & Keyes, 1995). In an interview, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, the researcher credited with having popularized the concept of flow, explained that those in a state of flow are: October might be spooky season, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get in the holiday spirit.
