IT'S NEW YEAR... BE HAPPY!

Happiness appears to be connected to seven things: relationships, contentment, security and money, health, transcendence and fulfilment. 

BE HAPPY!

I always find it interesting to read that while personal income has more than doubled in the past 50 years happiness levels have remained the same. While this might be surprising, recent research has shown that only 10% of our happiness is due to our external circumstances: 50% of our happiness level comes from our genes and 40% comes from the things we do.

THE HOW OF HAPPINESS!

The University of California's professor of psychology Sonja Lyubomirsky has pioneered a detailed yet easy-to-follow plan to increase happiness in our day-to-day lives — in the short term and over the long term. Nothing new here but great that her research supports the approach I've been working on over the last twenty odd years.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT... REMEMBER TO LIVE FOR TODAY!

I wanted to share this with you at Christmas because it reminds us all that we should 'never save something for a special occasion. Every day in your life is a special occasion'. Remember that each day, each hour, each minute, is special. Live for today, for tomorrow is promised to no-one.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

I HOPE YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS!

CHRISTMAS MESSAGE!

Another Christmas! 2015 has been another interesting year full of wonderful people, successes and surprises, brilliant stories and shared adventures with of course, it's fair share of challenges, problems and tears along the way! Christmas is a time for people, families, love, kindness and giving and I have been lucky this year to have spent so much time with people I love and care about... you know who you are... thank you for spending some time with me during the year.

THIS CHRISTMAS REMEMBER TO LIVE FOR TODAY, BECAUSE TOMORROW IS PROMISED TO NO ONE!

I wanted to share this with you at Christmas because it reminds us all that we should 'never save something for a special occasion. Every day in your life is a special occasion'. Remember that each day, each hour, each minute, is special. Live for today, for tomorrow is promised to no-one.

LET YOUR OWN LIGHT SHINE!

Christmas is being celebrated everywhere... every high street and every shop has become full of magic and sparkle... but always remember that the magic is really in you!

THIS CHRISTMAS, REMEMBER...

WHATEVER YOU DO THIS CHRISTMAS, EAT CHOCOLATE!

Chocolate is made from the seeds of the tropical cacao tree. The Greek term means literally "food of the gods". Cacao beans were used by the Aztecs to prepare a hot, frothy drink with stimulant and restorative properties. Chocolate itself was reserved for warriors, nobility and priests because the Aztecs valued its ability to confer wisdom and vitality.

LET IT SNOW!

TIS THE SEASON TO BE JOLLY!
