The Ritual Cure: Happier Hour® Method Foundational Lesson

The Ritual Cure: Happier Hour® Method Foundational Lesson

Before students dive into specific wellness practices, they need the foundation: learning how to design rituals that actually stick. This lesson introduces the Ritual Circuit—a simple, four-step framework (Intention → Cue → New Behavior → Intrinsic Reward) that makes positive actions automatic.

Instead of relying on willpower or motivation, students discover how their brains naturally form habits and how to harness that process for emotional well-being. Through the story Alex Builds a Reset and hands-on practice, they learn to start with “too small to fail” rituals, connect them to existing routines, and experience how consistent, intentional actions create powerful ripple effects in daily life.

By the end, students walk away with a personal ritual circuit—and the science-backed tools to make lasting change possible.
