Use the MINDSET template to record how you behaved during a specific situation. Describe your appearance and behaviour in a simple descriptive fashion by writing sentences. Reflect on your observations and on whether your actions have been more conducive or not to your happiness.

We often use images as representations of how we feel. We also make images of memories and experiences that contribute to our current experiences—as well as images of what we think about ourselves or others. “Symbols” in IP could also be thought about as such representations.

A conducive state would promote feeling rested and comfortable, within the limits of any physical limitations or illnesses you may have. On the other hand, fatigue, lack of energy, lack of comfort and feeling considerable pain would be non-conducive to happiness.

Some words describe negative physical states, while others describe positive ones. It can be useful to divide these into 2 broad categories: 1 for physical experiences that would be more conducive to happiness, and the other for physical experiences that would be non-conducive.

These are the seven dimensions with which to observe, analyze and gain knowledge of yourself. Seven may seem to be many dimensions, but this multiplicity will guard against being too simplistic or reductionist in observing, analyzing, and knowing yourself.

Your definition of happiness might evolve with time. This may uncover some incompatibilities that hinder experiences of happiness, and some adjustments may be required to make your definition of happiness conducive to the actual experience of happiness. Keep this in mind!

#IP also allows you to reflect on what you enjoy & what brings you pleasure. When completing the PEACE template in Step 2, list what gives you the most pleasure in your daily life. List at least 5 people, ideas, things or activities, without judgement, just as they come to mind.

Yesterday, we asked you to think about your assets. This will encourage you to start defining who you are, focusing on your positive side. Using these assets in your daily life will then contribute to more positive experiences that are favorable to experiencing happiness.

Another way of exploring the question is by asking yourself what remains of you when you remove your specificity, that is, your body, history, identity etc. Is there anything left of you as a person? If yes, write down what it is.

To determine your general attributes, you begin by thinking about what these may be and also about what your beliefs about them may be. Do you believe universal, general attributes exist? If so, what do you think those might be? If not, what does that mean about you as a person?

What are specific attributes that characterize you uniquely as a human being? Of particular significance are positive attributes such as desirable traits, accomplishments, social and professional positions, etc. IP allows you to reflect on what makes you unique.

The PEACE template has a column titled “Role”. As you become adept at listing your elements of happiness, you may list them role by role, for ex., what do the 5 elements (purpose, ethic, attribute, care & enjoyment) mean to you in the context of being a person, relative, spouse?
