Is the 7 Days to Happiness Challenge really free?

Yes. The 7-day challenge, the daily live sessions, and the meditation collection you receive when you register — all free. No credit card required.

How much time will the Happiness Challenge take each day?

Each live session is one hour. As for the daily practices, most of them don't require carving out extra time, because happiness isn't a ritual you perform. It's a feeling. A perception. A new way of moving through the day you're already having.

What if I miss a session during the 7 Days to Happiness Challenge?

Replays are shared with all registered participants. Life happens — you won't lose access just because one day gets away from you.

What happens after the 7 days?

That's up to you. Most people find that one week of this work gives them both a new perspective and a clearer sense of what they want to do next. There will be options for going deeper, but there's no obligation.

Is the Happiness Challenge connected to the Mindvalley Membership?

The challenge itself is completely standalone and free. If you'd like to continue your growth with Kristina and the wider Mindvalley community beyond the 7 days, you can — but that's entirely your choice.

Mindvalley 5 Days to Happiness Challenge

Q: Do I need prior experience with meditation or personal development?

None at all. This challenge was built for real people with real lives — not for people who already have a two-hour morning ritual. Whether you're new to this kind of work or deeply experienced, you'll find something valuable here.

The Hidden Problem With Happiness

Nobody ever taught us about happiness.

Think about it. At school, nobody sat you down to explain what happiness actually is, or how it works, or what to do when you can't seem to find it. What you got instead were lessons about success - how to study, how to perform, how to set goals and hit them. And somewhere along the way, without anyone spelling it out, you absorbed a very reasonable assumption: that if you did those things well enough, happiness would follow.

It's not a crazy idea. It's actually a pretty logical conclusion given everything you were shown.

The problem is that for most people - myself included - it just doesn't quite work out that way. The goals get met. The milestones land. And the happiness shows up, briefly, and then quietly relocates itself to the next thing on the list.

I spent a long time thinking that was a personal failure. That I was doing life slightly wrong, or wanting slightly too much, or not appreciating what I had. It took me longer than I'd like to admit to consider a different possibility:

What if it isn't success that drives happiness - but happiness that drives your success?

Not a consolation prize. Not a softer ambition. A completely different starting point.

Your life looks fine. That's almost the problem.

You're not in crisis. Things are, by most measures, going well. And yet there's this low hum that doesn't quite go away - a gap between what your life looks like from the outside and what it feels like from the inside.

You know the feeling. You work toward something, you get there, the satisfaction lasts a few days. Then you're already onto the next thing, and the good feeling went with it. You tell yourself you'll slow down and enjoy things once this phase is over. Once the project wraps. Once the kids are older. Once you've sorted out the next thing. And the next thing always arrives right on cue.

This isn't a flaw. It's a gap in what you were taught. Because happiness isn't something that eventually catches up to you. It's something you build. And most of us were never shown how.

THIS ISN'T FOR YOU IF…

You’re looking for a quick fix rather than skills you’ll keep using

You’re hoping someone will hand you happiness without having to show up for it

THIS IS FOR YOU IF…

Your life looks good on paper, and you want it to feel that way too

You’re tired of waiting for the next milestone to make you happy

You want something practical you can use today, in the life you already have

Five Days on the Path to Happiness

Attend Live via Zoom

Each day, I’ll teach you practical happiness skills, simple enough to practise the same day you learn them. We meet live for 60 minutes. You have 24 hours to try what you’ve learned. Then we meet again.

Mon, Nov 2:

Day 1 | Awareness + Presence

10:00 AM - 11:00 AM LA

Do you sometimes feel like a lab rat in a maze? As if your entire existence is predetermined by someone else: the rules of success, social comparison, media, fads and algorithms.

We start the challenge with the fundamental skill of personal growth. Awareness. You cannot change what you do not know. Break out of the lab, and notice what is actually happening in your life.

You'll leave with: a way to notice what is really happening in your life, while it is happening.

Tue, Nov 3:

Day 2 | Gratitude + No Comparison

10:00 AM - 11:00 AM LA

Social comparison is a natural human tendency. And it can work to your advantage, if you have the right framework.

But do you know whether you tend to compare up or down? Does it inspire you, or make you feel inadequate? In this session, we'll replace destructive social comparison with gratitude for, and appreciation of, you.

You'll leave with: a clear sense of how you compare, and a gratitude practice to replace the comparison that drains you.

Wed, Nov 4:

Day 3 | Meaningful Connections

10:00 AM - 11:00 AM LA

"Don't give anyone the power to determine your mood. Your happiness is in your own hands." Turns out this advice is neither true, nor really helpful.

Do you know the most reliable predictor of your wellbeing and happiness? The strength of your meaningful connections.

In this session, we bring in the other important actors on your path to happiness.

You'll leave with: a new way of connecting the people who matter most to your happiness.

Thu, Nov 5:

Day 4 | Dealing with Pain + Forgiveness

10:00 AM - 11:00 AM LA

Another unhelpful (and honestly, damaging) adage about happiness is that you cannot chase it. Is it supposed to just happen? That idea comes from a fundamentally mistaken definition of happiness.

Did you know that the diversity and spectrum of your emotions, both pleasurable and painful, is one of the best determinants of personal wellbeing? That's right. You are more likely to feel happy if you feel both joy and sadness, gratitude and disappointment, love and anger. Not just one side.

You’ll leave with: practical tools to work through difficult emotions, and a way to start letting go of grudges and disappointments.

Fri, Nov 6:

Day 5 | Self-Love

10:00 AM - 11:00 AM LA

Imagine the life of your dreams. You've achieved your most audacious goals. You're a success by every social definition, and by your own honest opinion. You love everything in your life… except one character. Yourself.

The work of this week culminates in the most important ingredient of happiness and wellbeing. Self-love.

You’ll leave with: practical ways to stop being your own bully and start being your most loyal cheerleader.

The Transformation:

By Friday, you’ll have a set of skills that build on each other, and a new relationship with your own happiness.

Sign up today and receive this before we even begin.

Kristina's Meditation Bundle: Free on Sign-Up

The moment you register, I'll send you a curated collection of guided meditations from my personal practice library. These aren't add-ons.

Becoming Authentic

Self-Reflection

Flawesomeness

Forgiveness

Taking the journey

A leap of faith

This week could change the way you relate to your own life.

The Question Is Simple:

How much longer will you stay at war with yourself?

You've tried fixing the symptoms. The 100 problems. What if it's time to fix the ONE problem?
