Hi, I'm aliénor

Your guide on the path to Redefine your Happiness. 

Seven years ago I was living my dream life working as a happiness researcher at the UN, until I found myself in a long period of sadness and personal loss. 

Heartbroken, grieving and burnt out, I had lost my own sense of happiness and searched for what could possibly spark joy and light up that little flame inside of me. 

As I closed my eyes and listened to my heart, I found my answer, and decided to leave everything behind to dance around the world.

Now you may think I had a head start. After all, my work was all about researching happiness. 

But along the way, I had gotten caught up in chasing traditional notions of success that somebody else had defined for me.

As I embarked on my own happiness journey, I discovered that true success in life doesn’t come from how much we have or what we achieve… 

It comes from knowing who you are, what you want, and living a life free of regret based on your own unique definition of happiness. 

being happy is the most successful life you an aim for

3 Obstacles most of us encounter when searching for happiness:

1: We perceive success based on scarcity and lack

A scarcity mindset leads us to overvaluing material possessions and the apparent happiness they bring. It keeps our focus on what we don’t have rather than on feeling grateful for what is already ours. Yes, living comfortably is one of life’s joys. But we easily get used to “stuff” – whether it’s a new purchase, a pay rise or promotion – and then return to our happiness baseline. What does this mean? That these things might bring you joy for a little while, but they won’t bring you lifelong fulfilment as you go back to your baseline. This baseline is what we’re looking to improve in this course.

2: Our self-worth and value are centered around our job title, status and salary

You are not what you do or what you have, but who you ARE. Most often when we meet people for the first time we ask: “So what do you do?” But would the answer to that question (e.g. mother, millionaire or manicurist) really be a deserving summary of a person? According to happiness science, we all have 24 character strengths – each to varying degrees. These strengths, along with our values, our passions and the beliefs that we stand for will always tell us more about ourselves than any form of validation from others. This course takes the approach to uncover your strengths, values and passions in building your self-worth around your very own happiness blueprint.

3: We don’t accept ourselves where we are, circumstances and all

It’s a lot harder to fight for where we want to be when we don’t accept where we are now. Whether that means accepting we’re stuck in a rut, funk or the monotony of daily life. Whether it’s the lack of impact our work has, or our time and energy being ‘managed’ by people with unempathetic leadership skills, we tend to avoid awareness and acceptance of what drains and frustrates us. But once you accept yourself where you are, and your circumstances, you will give yourself a solid foundation to start building your happiest reality. This course empowers you to make the choice to be the architect of your own happiness, so that YOU can design your happiest life.

I’ve met these, and many other obstacles in my life and work. And observing them made me realise that something needed to change.
