happiness and balance framework

Why a Framework?

• Everyone loves happiness and balance
BUT

 Everyone achieves it differently
SO

 There are no magic solutions or a one-for-
all list to help someone be happy
ONLY

A Framework
 So that
YOU

 Can do all the hard work required for

YOUR OWN HAPPINESS
 After all, you know yourself best, right?

BUT
 My framework will make it incredibly easy
for you

Happy so far?
 If yes,
THEN

 Let us jump
INTO

The Framework Foundation
 Or the Background

I am human
 At the core I am made of
CORE

MY HEART
 It feels
HEART
CORE

MY BRAIN
 It thinks
HEART
BRAIN
CORE

MY BODY
 It acts
BODY
HEART
BRAIN
CORE

That means
 I talk many languages

Heart Talk?
 Emotions
Me
Happy
I
Love
You!

Brain talk?
 Thoughts
I think this guy
loves me ;)
I think she is
wrong!

Body Talk?
 Actions

Fact
 The heart, brain and body are constantly
talking to each other, along with talking
to the world
I am so
IRRITABLE
I guess I
am
EMOTION
HUNGRY
THOUGHT I will go EAT
something
ACTION

Fact
 A large part ofour happiness depends on
HOW we INTERNALIZE/TRANSLATE our
life experiences

With me still?

Okay, another picture -
EMOTIONS
THOUGHTS
ACTIONS

Another perspective -
 The heart, brain and body form our
internal “Governing Board”
HEART
GOVERNING
BOARD
BODY BRAIN

And
 How we respond to life events and
situations is a function of what the
members of the “governing body” are
saying to each other and to the world

You might disagree here but
 We, and only we are in control of
our own
happiness (considering our basic needs
of food and shelter have been met)

And
 Happiness and Balance start from within
– deep deep inside ourselves
AT THE

CORE where
 The heart, brain and body meet up to
talk.

An Example
I am so
IRRITABLE
I guess I
am
EMOTION
HUNGRY
THOUGHT I will go EAT
something
ACTION

Another Example
I am being such
I am so Sad
a loser – let me
just ignore my
EMOTION sadness
I will ACT
THOUGHT like
everything is
just fine
ACTION

And Another Example
But it is too
I hate my job
much work to
find another
EMOTION job
I will just
THOUGHT continue to
work this
bad job
ACTION

So
 Learning to be happy and balanced
means

 Learning to be aware of our own
governing bodies
AND

 Making sure they listen,
they speak the truth,
they collaborate,
make the right decisions
AND

Act as a WHOLE
Heart
Brain
Body

And how do we do that?
