Dear Reader, Over the last weeks, I’ve shared the six Pillars of Happiness — my framework to understand and nurture happiness in everyday life. Each pillar stands on its own, but together they form a solid foundation for a lighter, more joyful way of living. Here’s a reminder of each one, with links in case you missed any: Body – The science of feeling good Learn how your brain, hormones, and nervous system shape happiness — and how small everyday choices like breathing, sunlight, and movement make all the difference. Read the Body post: https://anjawendt.com/pillars-of-happiness-body Mind – Happiness beliefs, emotions, and mindfulness. Discover how your beliefs create your reality, how to rebalance emotions, and how to be more present in the now. Read the Mind post: https://anjawendt.com/pillars-of-happiness-mind Dreams & Desire – The power of wanting — without losing peace. Dreaming drives growth, but happiness lives in the balance between wanting more and appreciating what is. Read the Dreams & Desire post here: https://anjawendt.com/pillars-of-happiness-dreams-and-desire Resources – Time, money, skills, and energy. Learn to use what you already have mindfully — declutter, prioritise, and enjoy your resources instead of chasing more. Read the Resources post here: https://anjawendt.com/pillars-of-happiness-resources Connection – The secret sauce of happiness. Happiness grows through love, community, and shared positive moments. Even a smile or short chat can lift your day. But make sure to connect with yourself first through the previous pillars Mind, Dreams & Desire and Resources to really benefit from Connections. Read the Connections post here: https://anjawendt.com/pillars-of-happiness-connections Letting Go – The magic of happiness. Happiness isn’t about control — it’s about trust, forgiveness, fun, and creativity. When we release, life flows. Read the Letting Go post here: https://anjawendt.com/pillars-of-happiness-letting-go All videos are now available in one place on YouTube — a reminder that happiness is learnable.
If you’d like to explore these ideas more personally, my six-week coaching program, Happiness by Design, is open again. It’s a small, supportive space to help you apply the pillars to your own life — one week, one shift at a time. Find out at my page anjawendt.com/coaching-program Thank you for exploring happiness with me over these past weeks. I hope the pillars remind you that happiness isn’t a destination — it’s something we can build, moment by moment. Have a happy week, |

Talking about the Weather 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 the famously shallow talk about the weather finding that it might not be shallow after all and a great way to connect (and be happier).
