Description
Contentment Commitment Origin
In my late 20s and early 30s, I was perceived by others to be achieving success in my professional life, but was struggling to manage increasing demands in my personal life and felt like I was failing as a husband, a father, and a friend while neglecting myself as well.
In response, I leveraged existing tools used to gain insights into happiness at work (Engagement) and evolved them to create a simple framework focused on improving happiness in life (Contentment). At first I just did it for myself, but it was such a life-changing experience that I began sharing it with select friends and colleagues struggling with similar issues. Based on their feedback, I have been sharing it ever since.
Contentment Commitment Framework
What makes the Contentment Commitment unique is how it breaks Contentment down into 6 dimensions and their sub-dimensions, asks difficult questions to help you understand what really drives your happiness in each, and then applies a proven analytical methodology to help you identify and prioritize the actions which will have the most positive effect on your life overall. It then pushes you to commit to taking those actions by formally creating accountability to yourself and others. This provides a simple and structured way to focus your efforts on achieving meaningful outcomes and takes much of the emotion out of something that is inherently deeply emotional.
The Contentment Commitment framework tends to resonate most with people who have been heavily focused on their professional lives, have new and greater responsibilities in their personal lives, and are struggling with how to make it all work. But it looks well beyond the narrow lens of work-life balance and is relevant for adults of any age regardless of what is happening in their personal and professional lives. And it works equally well for any gender, ethnicity, religion, or nationality.
