Joy and Happiness Project Plan

As an international student at the school, the learning content and environment we are exposed to are very different from our actual experiences. So when we integrated into the life of all English, it made me feel very stressed, and it was challenging to find a way to release the stress, especially during the epidemic. Due to the epidemic outbreak, no one could go out at will, and the method of communication between my friends and I became constrained. Such inability to meet and go out often led to an estrangement between friends. During this period, I often felt lonely, the pressure became great, and I could not release my emotions properly. Therefore, I want to learn how to manage and control myself and learn skills to improve my happiness and happiness through this course.

When I finished the first activity in the project map, I was a little lost, and I could not concentrate well; because I had never tried these activities, such as meditation, it took me a lot of time to relax. I often give up when I am doing my work; others easily influence me, so doing exercises And activities is a big challenge. My first plan is to set an alarm clock at 10 in the morning and make a schedule to remind me to do exercises in a place without any disturbance after class every day; I will record it until it becomes my habit of life. The second plan is based on my major of "drawing and Design" because I need to finish my work in my studio at six o 'clock every night. After I finish my career, I can let myself do the activities in the project map because these activities can be very effective for me to relax, and it is easy to let me insist. The third plan is to record my daily activities by video at 10 pm and put them on social software such as Tik Tok; this plan is the most interesting. It can supervise me and also let me see the changes in the process. Even after the course, I can continue to record my life on social software.

How to communicate effectively with my partner，I have reached an agreement with my partner this week. We made adequate planning and reasonable time allocation. In standard times,

we use WeChat every weekend around 7 am, but it depends on when we finish dinner; If something happens over the weekend that prevents us from meeting online, we move it up to 7 pm Friday. It is also an excellent way to supervise and encourage each other.

Regarding the "Authentic Happiness Inventory," my score is 1.96 out of 5, which is indeed a bit low for me. On the "Via character'' website, I measured results that I didn't expect. On “Via charter“, The results I measured were unexpected; In terms of the proportion of my personality, my seven advantages are Honesty, Airness, Kindness, Humor, Appreciation of Beauty & Excellence, and Gratitude. The last one is Teamwork; When the test result came out, I was a little happy and saw that I needed to improve my love and learning. This website is beneficial for me because it enables me to understand my personality better. In the end, I hope that the grades I can achieve in this course are as high as possible. "A+" is my ideal, and I will also try my best to match my ideals.
