HAPPY LIFE LEARNING

Overview
“On Our Journey” cards is an accompaniment to live a happy life, helping us to reflect, make healthy choices, validate our values/principles and calibrate our life compass.
Experiencing the process of the cards will help individuals in their character formation and build meaningful relationships with themselves, families, and friends on both human and spiritual dimensions. As you work your way through them, the direction you were meant to follow will become clear, guiding you towards peace and joy. When we know the difference between needs and wants and what truly brings us joy, we can live our happiest and most fulfilling moments.
The cards can be used in any stage of life. The content and the image of each card is meticulously designed to help the user reflect, analyse, and critically evaluate their entire life including their identity, behaviour
The Illustrations of the cards and the different phases are meant to facilitate the externalization of experiences on external images with the hope that the individual experiences new and deeper insights.
The stages in the process
“On Our Journey” may be used for your own personal reflection and by people in the helping professions as a toolbox to coach & help others.
The cards can be used at any stage on our life journey. They can help to create a safe space where one can reflect, share feelings, make choices,
understand the consequences and give meaning to the experiences that we are going through.
The images on the front of the cards can help with processing, while the questions at the back serve to reflect, analyse and critically evaluate feelings,
behaviours and outcomes.
People in the helping professions need to use their competencies to facilitate the introduction of the cards, help clients connect with the cards and use
them according to their needs. This exploration process can help clients become more in touch with their feelings and choose alternative behaviours that have meaning.
Each card is designed to facilitate reflection, analyses and critically evaluate feelings, behaviours and outcomes.
Here is an example from “Friendship Cards”.The cards are colour coded to reflect the phase.
Each card has a key text and picture to help visualise the message. The back of the cards contains a list of questions intended to make you think and talk about, the last point on the card is a reflection on a possible way forward
