Mindfully Happy: Seven Steps To Creating Your Inner Sanctuary

With Maria Baltazzi

Universally, everyone wants to be happy. However, most do not have a clue about how to achieve it. Many think it is when you find the right person, get the right job, move into the right home, and it is none of these. Everything I mentioned is an exterior, conditional circumstance when, in truth, happiness is what happens on the inside, which you then project outwardly. In this 10-day course, I will lead you through a seven-step process that will enable you to create your Inner Sanctuary. By the end of this course, you will have the essential tools to build a life that is mindfully lived on purpose. This course content is inspired by the NY Times bestselling book, “Happy For No Reason.” Maria Baltazzi is a PhD and certified Art + Science Happiness Teacher.

Lesson 1

Myths About Happiness, The Myth Of More & The Myth Of “I Will Be Happy When”

The path to creating your Inner Sanctuary begins with understanding a few myths about happiness, like the myth of more and the myth of “I will be happy when”. You will also learn about something we all have, which is a Happiness Set Point. The takeaway being, just because you have a set point that influences your outlook, does not mean you are stuck with it. There are intentional things you can do to change it. The guided meditation will open you to identifying your state of happiness now and where you would like it to be in the future.

Lesson 2

Happiness Set Point: Exploring The Happiness Continuum

We build on the previous conversation about one’s Happiness Set Point by exploring the Happiness Continuum we are all on. How your emotional state of contraction or expansion determines where you reside on this continuum. You can shift your current place by consciously creating an Inner Sanctuary. A guided body scan will enable you to explore where you are feeling contracted or expansive. This mindful awareness of felt senses in your body is where you begin to increase your level and awareness of happiness.

Step Two: Your Mind - Do Not Believe Everything You Think

Of the 60,000 thoughts you have on an average day, 80% of them are robbing you of your happiness. Why? Because we all have an evolutionary predisposition toward the negative. Though just because our earliest ancestors had a negative bias, it does not mean that we have to as well. Discover how to turn a negative thought into a positive one. Today’s meditation guides you toward nourishing positive thoughts.
