One of my biggest takeaways from this unit was understanding how happiness can not be seen as a destination we strive to achieve but a constant state of being in which we enjoy the journey. I have also had the mindset that if I finish ‘x’ number of things, then I will be happy. But I realised I need to enjoy the process more. One technique that worked really well for me, was going down and using the circus equipment. I understood that when I am stressed I like to stay active and distracted, rather than sitting down on my phone – ‘resting’. While I don’t think there was a noticeable difference in my stress levels throughout the unit, I do think that I have gained very important skills on how to handle my stress, including gratitude and being thankful to others to improve my own spirits.
