ABOUT ACTION FOR HAPPINESS
We all want to live happy and fulfilling lives and we want the people we love to be happy too. So happiness matters to all of us.
Happiness is about our lives as a whole: it includes the fluctuating feelings we experience everyday but also our overall satisfaction with life. It is influenced by our genes, upbringing and our external circumstances - such as our health, our work and our financial situation. But crucially it is also heavily influenced by our choices - our inner attitudes, how we approach our relationships, our personal values and our sense of purpose.
Action for Happiness works to support evidence based practices and theories that support well being. Local group website: www.actionforhappinessbrighton.org.uk .

See all- Ways to Celebrate your 2023 (Positive Psychology @ Latest Music Bar)Latest Music bar, Brighton BN2 1TF
This event is designed to help us remember and savour the good bits from our year, using simple positive psychology techniques.
Even in challenging times, we can put our attention on the small 'treasures' of life, such as moments of contentment, songs we've enjoyed, and connections that have felt meaningful to us. This can help us with our wellbeing and resilience as we moved forward to 2024.
It will be facilitated by Joshua French, an organiser of the Brighton group who also supports/trains Action for Happiness's global network of volunteers. He is a co-founder of Bailey & French, a Brighton-based consultancy that focuses on humanising the world of work.
This is our regular meeting in the Latest Bar, on the first Tuesday of each month. We provide ideas and information on the science of happiness and reflecting on these yourself and discussing . An opportunity to discover new ways of increasing the happiness of yourself and those around you. We will appreciate a donation of £5 in CASH if you can; if this is difficult for you, less is acceptable. Ground rules for this meeting. Doors open 6:30; get a drink and chat; event starts 7pm prompt.
