Making Happiness

R E LA T I O N S H I P S | Happiness. Today, I spent lunch with the Stanford Women’s Club of the East Bay listening to Dr. Luskin, preeminent scholar on forgiveness, emotional intelligence and stress management @stanford talk about happiness.
•
What makes us happy? According to the Dr., it’s gratitude, humility & relationships.
•
Gratitude, noticing and feeling thankful for what’s around you— the tree, the feeling, the smile, etc.
•
Humility, feeling not so self- important, to have an ease about yourself that allows you to stay open to life.
•
Relationships, the connections you have to others who make life fun and worth living.
• 
It was a great talk, and I felt so grateful for his decades of research on how to live well. (I will be using some of it for the LYW guidelines and programming!)

P.S. He wore a t-shirt and sweat pants for his talk! 😊 Gotta love Stanford profs! And, I really wear a lot of beige. 😌 #liveyourwell
