Areas

Closely connected to the roles we occupy are the key areas of life that the roles fit into. Again they are different and personal to each of us, some more or less
applicable to the individual. Here are a few of the more obvious areas of life to consider :-

Family Life Friendships Home Life Love Life Leisure & Social Life
Personal Growth & Attitude Health Career Finances Spiritual

There are many other areas that consume the human existence. There may be others that occupy your life not connected with those above. As the ten above
affect the majority of us to a greater of lesser extent, it is worth considering how each area has it’s own effect on the happiness present in your life.

Family Life

Most of us would agree that happiness within the family unit is important and we tend to accept that family life should contain a healthy emphasis on loving,
caring, nurturing and supporting. For most people, family life is where major challenges are faced. Family life can be a source of major stress and you can be
certain that any challenges faced in this area will have a knock-on effect in other areas.

Friendships

Without doubt, our human relationships with others contribute the majority of happiness and unhappiness we experience in our lives. For every happy or
unhappy experience you will have, there will usually be another person involved, or the lack of another person or persons in a significant area of your life to
influence the degree of happiness you enjoy.

Home Life

What makes a home happy is the people that are in it, the attitudes we come in the door with, and the simpler things that we can do to the space we call home
each time we’re in it that don’t cost a thing.

Love Life

Overlapping with the family life section, this may apply to your spouse, partner, lover, boyfriend, girlfriend, children, relatives, friends – in fact any person or
circumstances where you experience love on any level. For example, recognition and acknowledgement for a job well done, or support and assistance provided,
is in itself a form of love. Do not restrict yourself to the person you wake up next to!
