Whats your score?

• To know your BHI - Be Happy Index just add the points mentioned against your answer

• This number is your BHI according to this test by Dr Robert Holden.

• Check what your BHI signifies...

If you scored 84 to 100 points: Call to joy• Inside each of us is a call to

joy. The more you answer this call, the more you discover the truth of who you are, what is important and what your life is for. By following your joy, you experience the fullness of your being and you discover a depth of creativity and talent that inspires the world. It's time to answer the call!

If you scored 68 to 83 points: Getting there• This is a healthy score but you

need to recognize the difference between chasing happiness and choosing happiness. Happiness is not outside you; it's not a destination. When you stop chasing it, you allow yourself to be more present, more available and more open. This way you find happiness wherever you are.

If you scored 52 to 67 points: Semi-happy• So, how are you? Watch out

for answers like I'm fine, Not so bad. Yes, you are surviving, but now it's time to start thriving! Imagine if you were to raise your BHI by 10% what do you think you would you be doing more of, less of or differently? Being semi-happy is safe, but its unfulfilling. Maybe it's time to take a risk.

If you scored 36 to 51 points: Self-care• This score is a sign that you

could be looking after yourself better. Beware of unhealthy self-sacrifice and self-neglect. Recognize how you might be limiting your own happiness. Remind yourself that it is not someone else's job to make you happy. Remember also that your healing and your happiness is a gift to others.

If you scored 20 to 35 points: Shift happens!• You probably knew you were

going to score this low before you took the test. You need to take an honest look at why you feel the way you do. I also recommend you get help in putting together a program of personal recovery. The good news is a small change will make a big difference to your score.

How to increase our BHI• We can increase our

happiness levels by...

• Developing a sense of awareness and living in the present.

• Also acceptance and a sense of gratitude increases our BHI.

• However laughter and smile are considered to be the best options.
