So as I head into the Karteros Gorge on my Green Journey for my Goddess Project, I need to step things up. I have all of my strategies and supports, from Britomartis and Athena to the Hyades, now I need to DO something.
I think that (H) will be the Happiness Project. This book explores ways to discover more about yourself and ideas on how to make the most of your strengths. It is a year-long plan, which is good for this part of the journey. It gives me something to focus on that is not the overwhelm of the moment and the out-of-control feelings, but something positive in the future. It is very much a 'doing' program which is something that I need.
The Ancient Greeks used a compass with 12 winds. This green design will be my 12-point compass. Doing the Happiness Project means choosing 12 new habits, 1 for each month, and then continuing on with them. For example, one month might be all about Making Connections. The new habits I learned in this month would be continued on as I add new skills from the next months.
Aparctias (meaning 'from the bear' or Ursa Major) is Boreas, the North Wind. At summer solstice, the sun rises at Caecias and sets at Argestes, during the Equinos, the sun rises at Apeliotes and sets at Zephyrus (the West Wind). At the winter solstice, the sun rises at Eurus (the East Wind) and sets at Lips (the wind that brings rain).
If I can use the Happiness Project to ground me and give me something to focus on, then I have a much better chance of making my way through the crazy to the other side.
