7 steps to boost your happiness

Happiness is something we all desire. Creating a life that feels good on the inside is within everyone's reach. All it takes is one person to change your life - you!

Lets share some fantastic vibes with my favourite 7 steps to happiness:

1. Choose a career that reflects your natural talents.

We spend most of our lives working, so choosing a job aligned to our naturally talents doing doesn’t feel like work, more like a hobby we are getting paid for. Having a happy work environment creates amazing energy which everyone can thrive within. Discovering what your natural talents can be an exciting journey and well worth the effort.

2. Lighten up and have more fun.

All work and no play is plain boring, so add some laughter and smile more. Think of your funniest memory and hold that thought. Smile to everyone you meet. Make room for fun activities with fun people. Watch funny clips on you tube. Doing this will boost your levels of happiness big time. Positive energy is contagious, pass it on.

3. Tell yourself ‘I can and I will’

Having limitations dilutes our energy and wears us down. Instead, blast them to infinity and beyond by telling yourself ‘I can and I will’. Having inner strength raises self esteem and confidence, so consciously choose powerful words that unlock your willpower. Leading by example inspires others to do the same so be energy efficient.

4. Think of everything you are grateful for.

Being grateful for what we already have in our life opens the gates to self love. Instead of wishing our lives away, be present in the moment reflecting on the love within. Embracing the flow of gratitude delivers magical happenings into our life - a must experience. Start a daily routine that reflects on what you are presently grateful for, remembering all love begins with self love.

5. Take nothing personally.

Keep it real by remembering we all experience crappy days and can say things we didn’t mean. When we take nothing personally, our reaction is neutral leaving no room for arguments. It is worth while remembering if someone is being hard on themselves, they will be hard on you. Let it go and adopt the mantra ‘it is not my business what other people think of me’, after all you can’t please everyone all the time.

6. Listen to your intuition.

Intuition is the fast track way to create new opportunities. Trusting those gut feelings then making them happen, will open many a treasure chest. Connecting with our entrepreneurial energy, gives access to our deepest insight. Let intuition guide you, it won’t let you down.


7. Believe in yourself.
There is only one of you and there will never be another - you are perfect exactly as you are. Believe in yourself and all your infinite possibilities, always. You have the power to create whatever you desire, keep believing you can and you will. Think happy, believe in happy, be happy!

Thankful Thursday

What are you thankful for today? We all have many things to be thankful for but do we recognise what they are?

For me as I write this blog, I am extremely thankful to see the sun streaming in my window - I love the sun.

I asked my son what he was thankful for today and his reply was ‘you, having a good life and the skills you give me in life.’ I am now sitting with a big smile on my face and and bigger glow in my heart.

It can be a beautiful experience sharing what we are grateful for, as it brings us closer together giving insight into who we are. Gratitude lifts our energy and dissolves fear. Bringing our focus to everything we have in our life grounds us here and now in the present moment.

Here are some top tips:

  • Think of EVERYTHING you are thankful for and make a gratitude list.Ask others what they are truly thankful for.
  •  Smell the roses and connect in with the beauty of nature all around you.
  • Tell your loved ones you love them and are grateful to have them in your life.
  • Reflect on your favourite memories and let the energy surround you.
  • Wear your smile as it looks great on you.
  • Embrace your mistakes as your best life lessons.
  • Keep life simple.
  • Remember, hardships often prepare ordinary people for an extraordinary destiny.
  • Recognise the achievements in your life so far.
