The Happiness Project:

The past years have been very difficult for every individual across the globe due to the pandemic. While the pandemic took over the globe in its entirety, and people were forced to stay back at home, maintaining social distancing, Inara came up with a virtual project with the aim of maintaining balance in tough times, supporting the needy to get through the time, keeping them close enough to enjoy the time granted in disguise of a pandemic and making a positive difference in their lives.

Inara conducted The Happiness Project virtually for 10 days with participants performing 10 tasks each day. The project started with a positive task of writing a letter for their future selves. The next challenge was to create a combined playlist by sharing their two favourite songs. Participants then shared stories of something that brought them happiness through photos in “Love in a Photography”. The following challenge was to push their limits and face their fears with “Out of Comfort Zone”. “Connect & Reconnect” encouraged making new connections and reconnecting with old friends. Participants were then challenged to clean or redecorate their living space in “Clean Your Space”. “Exercise & Meditation” focused on physical and mental health. In “Let’s Cook Today”, participants cooked and shared a dish. “Day of Gratitude” encouraged acts of kindness. The project ended with “Let’s Get Crafty”, where participants created art or DIY projects. Due to the positive feedback, The Happiness Project 2.0 was conducted in 2022 with similar projects and twists.
