It is all about making happiness a habit and creating an Upward Spiral of positivity in our lives through the 6 Big Easy Bliss Commitments.

You’ve hit your stride with the Bliss Commitments and can feel yourself opening up more and more to the deep joy inside of you. Let’s carry these positive vibes forward into Day 6!

Meditation and Nature Appreciation

• Take yourself on a date to your favourite spot out in nature. Find a space to sit down and close your eyes. Allow your senses to take in the subtle sensations of the natural world all around you: the sound of birds, wind against the trees, water lapping against the shore.
