Transcendence
Transcendence is one of the Big Six core happiness virtues. It's about understanding that the world is bigger than the individual and maintaining connections on a higher level.
Beauty
Enjoying beauty brings you closer to the higher levels of meaning in life. It appeals to one or more of your senses: to sight, hearing, touch, taste or smell. Beauty is all around, so look out for it and feel happier. Take time to enjoy the smell of cut grass, or the sound of someone laughing.
Gratitude
Be grateful for what you have. It brings you closer to the rest of the world and helps you feel content and at peace. Remember to thank your colleagues when they do you a good turn. You could make a list of things you are grateful for in your life. Aim to find five things - you're sure to think of many more once you start.
Playfulness
Bring a sense of humour and fun to your life, and to everyone else's. You'll feel that connection with the rest of the world that supports real happiness. Put on some music and dance to it. Play some games.
Spirituality
Believing that there is some sort of meaning in life connects you to the rest of the world, even if the details differ. What would you like to change in the world? Think about how you could make a difference yourself, and take the first step.
Zest
Do whatever you do with spirit, with enthusiasm and with energy. Feel more alive and connected. What would you really love to do? Go ahead and plan it!
