Who’s ready for more happiness this year?

I know I am!

And I also know it’s easier to be happy than you think. However, hitting my 60 year milestone in December has been incredibly motivational for me. I feel amazing! This, I believe, is because I have had to always be mindful to ‘practice what you preach’ . Life of course throws up many curve balls, and although I’ve had my share, to make it this far is a gift.

I can say that I am happy :)

My dog is also very happy, and our joyful daily walks are a bonus - a heads up to the journey I’ve been dealt with and the life I’ve mapped out for myself for many years.

If we are mindful about WHAT IT IS THAT MAKES ME HAPPY, we already have a head start…

Happiness, for example, can be simplified by contemplating the core human needs.

These correlate to CORE VALUES:

1. Health (good food / clean water / functioning body)

2. Shelter (safe home / affordable living)

3. Belonging (community / family)

4. Faith (God / religion / belief)

For many, happiness becomes a more external goal - such as money and success.

Whilst these are great goals, they do not sustain us in having healthy relationships with our body or loved ones.

Therefore I’d like to set the focus of our year toward BEING MINDFUL OF LIFE VALUES, and ask that if you’re struggling with any part of your life (eg relationships / lost job / lack of purpose / illness) I recommend pondering your values, and contemplate more deeply the value of having faith. How do you relate to your inner world? And how does this resonate in the world around you - eg. who are the people you hang with? How do you treat yourself / your body?

Anyway, I know that this is my deeper focus this year - to be grateful for what I DO HAVE, and to ponder those areas in my life that need more fine tuning (I would like to spend more time with my friends across the country this year, after what was a huge year of change in 2024 for me)

And if you would like some guidance? Check out my coaching pages as I have been very busy supporting others in finding their purpose, and therefore finding true happiness.

Love and Blessings
