Action for Happiness helps people take action for a happier and Kinder world.
Let’s take action to look after ourselves and each other as we face this global crisis. We may be physically apart, but we can still be together.
Mindfulness films by Dr Mike Scanlan
The BOLD
This exercise aims to help people make better decisions. It is a way of mindfully stopping and recognising whether the way we have been living our lives is taking us towards a human being we want to be or dragging us away from that person.
Character Strength Film
This film uses the evidence base gleaned from positive psychology.
The film directs people to the VIA character strength survey.
The film then helps people understand how they can start using those character strengths to make life easier and ultimately happier.
The Anchor Meditation
This very short meditation gives people a very quick technique to ground themselves back in the present moment. It is particularly useful for people experiencing high levels of anxiety or panic. The film instructs people to use all five senses in order to return to the present moment.
Focus On Life While Noticing Pain
Whether you want to better manage the pain you experience, be less bothered by negative emotions, cope better with pain related anxiety and low mood or simply learn to feel calmer and more positive. This may be the course for you.
