Dear Reader, Do you sometimes wonder if you are happy and how you would know if you are? I used to think, 'so, it's all going fairly well. Does that mean I'm happy? Is that it?'. Can you relate? If you can relate, you might want to take my Happiness Audit, which I created based on all my research. Ask yourself these questions:
I also created the PDF below to provide context for the questions and help you see what might be important for you to work on. The aim is to answer 'yes' to all of them. The questions look at your perception of life and happiness, including how much you feel in control. They also touch on health, relationships, and mindset. Questions looking at the same aspects are deliberately not grouped. Happiness Audit by Anja Wendt.pdf This leads me to my offer to have a chat with you if you feel there are a few too many 'no' answers.

Some people are born happy with personality traits (e.g. arousability, extraversion and negative affect) that support happiness. But if you are not born...
Anger Each Tuesday, I'm reflecting on how aspects of our lives and society relate to happiness and how we can increase our happiness. This week, I'm looking at our defence mechanism, anger. In this newsletter, I am exploring how to reduce anger in important relationships - in my case, with my kids. I have been taking a good look at anger recently. It's so energy-intensive. When I get angry, I spend a lot of time on it. I decided that I'd rather spend more time on other things. It's not that I...
