I?ve been looking for websites about happiness and self-improvement. Those who seek shall find. While I was sitting at Peet?s Coffee&Tea? in Santa Monica I noticed a man next to me creating an elaborated chart, looking like a fishbone in Corel which reminded me ?a cause ? effect?tool from my consulting life. I asked him what?it was. Charles told me that he is working? on the website Keys to self-motivation. He just started this website and the fishbone is one of his ideas to be posted soon. As Charles explained he has 20 years of experience in construction and he saw many men floating through life?like lost boats, living day by day without having concrete goals not only career-wise but in other aspects of their life. So the fishbone is to create more structure and direct people where they want to go. Charles? wife also has a website Detox Vortex, it is about living healthy.
We had a very interesting discussion and shared our knowledge on the topic. One of the websites Charles suggested is?Self-growth. The site has?numerous resources for those who have the time and interest to learn different techniques. We both appreciate Steve Pavlina blog, which has thousands of great posts (it?s been around since 2004).
I told Charles about his potential competitor?My life list?and about Daily feats, a site that suggests good deeds for you and gives you points for completing them.
A friend recommended to me a site about how to get over difficult time in one?s life Out of stress. Through?I?m happy project?I connected with Rachel,?who?has?a website Undercurrent coaching.?I mentioned before Ricky?s site Life long happiness.?Subscribe to blogs you like, find inspiring quotes about life, love?and helping others. Visit Quote Garden.
If you are very depressed and want help, try Depression Support Help?and Psychology Info. I recently found?National Empowerment Center?(NEC)?website. There are many depression and suicide prevention organizations? Just type the words ?depression help?? and there will be a list to choose from.
What I recommend the most is?? go and volunteer? You will learn everything in comparison: your pain, their pain, the world?s pain. You?ll see how making other people happy will make you feel. Don?t expect to get anything in return for your help to others. Just do it. Ad you will see the difference soon? ?One must really have suffered oneself to help others? ~Mother Teresa.
If you want to start your own project and need fundraising or want to invest into somebody?s project, check out Crowdrise, Kiva, Profounder, Kickstarter and?Donorchoose.
There are lots of interesting meet-ups about how to become happy.?One of them is run by Dr. Amy Coget?in San Francisco. I never met Amy but her positive attitude?is contagious. She runs?The San Francisco Happiness Club.
This year on the International happiness day, July 10, she created Smile Mob Event: ?We will be giving away free smiles and free hugs too!? If you wanted more happiness in your life and to celebrate your own and others happiness then join us at the SF Happiness Club.? After participating in a smile mob this past week, I guarantee you will gain a great happiness boost!?
And finally,?there will be?another group testing of the happiness formula in Cambridge, MA on Aug 10 at 7 PM in Algiers Caf? in Harvard Square. All participants will be able to try the latest version of the tool, ?create their own happiness formula, help others to increase their happiness and provide feedback. Everyone is welcome to attend!
