Sec 1: Exploring Happiness (Part 2)

After doing a recap on Exploring Happiness (Part 1), the Secondary 1 youths watched a video "Happiness" about the story of a rodent's unrelenting quest for happiness and fulfillment. From the video, we learned that while doing things to be happy, we sometimes end up hurting ourselves or others in the process. Additionally, sometimes we go through life quickly and things become part of a routine.

The youths then engaged in reflective practice on Padlet. They were asked to think and note down the following:

- Activities I Do that I Care About

- My Hopes and Dreams for this Year

- My Fears and Worries for this Year

Through this activity, we can see that our wish for happiness and to avoid distress plays a significant role in our lives.

Lastly, we watched "The Gratitude Experiment" to raise awareness about how being grateful helps our wellbeing. Studies say that showing gratitude makes a person happier and healthier. Consequently, the youths were asked to practise one act of showing gratitude within the week and share it with the rest next time.
