We believe happiness is defined by our capacity to live a full, conscious and meaningful life, with unfettered creative spirit, exhilaration and purpose, and with opportunities to share ourselves, and our love and generosity with others. When we act on what really matters in our heart of hearts, when we define the values that we hold dear, and when we are clear about what we stand for and act accordingly, then our lives become bountiful, meaningful and fulfilling, and we are Happy.
We suggest that you take this journal as an invitation, inspiration and encouragement to look at places, things and people that make your life meaningful, bountiful and fulfilling. You are the “expert” on your inner world and your own happiness, and the prompts in this diary are just gentle “nudges” in the direction that you have chosen.
This book-journal has its unique internal structure with the following central threads:
• 12 topics – each chapter begins with an introduction to the leading topic, which relates to happiness, that you can explore, let’s say, within a month;
• 4 therapeutic and creative prompts in each topic, which you will make happen step by step, at your own pace;
• A quote, a thought for inspiration and reflection, related to the topic;
The idea of “Every Day a Little More” is to support you and help you become more fulfilled in all aspects of life. The Journal includes elements of projects inspired by behaviour therapy, art therapy, working with the inner child, meditation and other psychological tools for change. The prompts are designed in a way that allows you to explore on your own and to achieve insight and gain trust in your own Understanding.
You will determine the time you spend on the journal depending on your needs and capabilities, and on your desire to commit to the process and to your own personal happiness. We hope that the ideas, guidance and insights we share will assist you in embarking on your wonderful new journey.
Find your path, mission or purpose, follow your dreams, be committed and persistent, be present and aware. It’s important to challenge yourself to step out of your comfort zone, so you can step into your courage zone more often. Take care of yourself – of your body and your mind. Meditate. Love. Invest time and energy in nurturing and developing your relationships. Tap into your resources – whatever recharges you – into art, into higher things, into life. And happiness will find you.
This is what we wish for you! Inspiration and passion along the way!
Anna and Elitsa
