Workbook
What Makes You Happy After the Move
The Happiness Foundation for People Who Left Everything They Knew
This workbook builds a documented happiness foundation for the life you actually have now — not the one you left.
For the person who relocated and is surviving but not thriving. For the person who left their community, their routines, their language, their identity context — and needs to rebuild happiness from the ground up in a place that does not yet feel like home.
The Name It First Experience
What made you happy there is somewhere else now — this workbook builds happiness from what is actually here. What Makes You Happy Here walks you through the specific inputs that created happiness in your previous life — community, routine, language, belonging, purpose — and helps you build the new versions of each in the place you actually live now. It is for the person who relocated and is surviving but not thriving — who has been waiting to feel at home and needs to understand that home has to be built, not found. You finish with a documented happiness foundation — the specific inputs your life here needs, and a plan for building each one.
You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.
Sample questions
- What made you happy in the place you came from that you have not yet rebuilt here?
- What do you already have here that makes this place feel like it could be home?
- What would you build if you stopped waiting for it to happen on its own?
