_ Get help:hiya

Don't try to 'do' life on your own without any help from others. Think about who you could be asking for more support. Be willing to receive help.

- Identify the next step
Imagine you have reached the point in your life where it's time to 'take the next step.' This might be in work, relationships or your life in general. Ask the five people closest to you what they think your next step should be and be open to the possibilities.

- Be grateful
Gratitude is a short cut to happiness. Write down moments you are truly grateful for. Think about relationships, people, experiences, places, books and songs. The more you will be truly grateful for.

- Take note of stress
Stress is an invitation to change something. It's not bad or wrong....just information. It's a memo in your brain that says....help...get support.
What is your stress trying to tell you and what positive change can you make?

- Nurture relationships
Relationships are at the heart of success in life and work, but busy lives can mean that our most important relationships don't get enough attention.
Ask yourself.....Who could i be spending more time with? And... Who could i be listening to more?...Once you know the answers, do something about it.

_ Don't wait to be happy
One of the biggest blocks to happiness is that we're waiting to be happy. We want life to get better so we can be happy. But life won't get better until we choose to be happy. Happiness is a way of travelling not a destination. Choose to be happy for no good reason. make a conscious decision to be happy and see how this affects the rest of your day.
