How do we visualise happiness?

Last week saw the launch of Action for Happiness, a movement of people committed to building a happier society. The event was hosted in the beautiful St Luke’s near Old Street and was co-organised with All we Need. Liane and Hege from All we Need invited me to come and capture some images at the event.

There were a lot of interesting folk at the event including Mindapples, Headspace, The Strive, Life Clubs, The Young Foundation and many others. Personally I was inspired by the inclusion of the concept of mindfulness in these conversations. Andy Puddicombe from Headspace led a couple of meditation sessions which was the most powerful part of the day for me as being ‘mindful’ illustrates an important connection; that happiness isn’t all about blue skies and fluffy clouds, but an awareness that we have a choice of how consciously we live our lives which includes how we feel, experience and see the world.

The question I went to the event with, and am still holding is ‘how do we visualise happiness’? Any thoughts?
