Wow feeling a mix of tired, relieved and proud of myself after getting through the first audiobook recording session for ‘Make Life Happier’. Years of hard work finally seem to be coming together now geni.us/MakeLifeHapp... @actionhappiness.bsky.social
Care deeply about people, while not caring too much what they think of you
Your behaviour helps to change the world more than your opinions
Rest isn’t the enemy of getting stuff done. It turns out to be the foundation for it
Difficult feelings are a bit like the weather. We can't simply wish away dark skies or rain. But we can adapt our plans and remember that the sun will be out again soon
You can’t change what happened yesterday, but you can change what happens today. And that can help make tomorrow better too
Let go of the need to do things perfectly, especially with hobbies or friendships. Showing up and being there is what matters most
Don’t ignore what’s wrong. But choose to appreciate the good things too
If you expect people to be against you or doing bad things, you’ll probably find some examples. But if you look for people who are helping and doing good, you’ll likely find a lot more
Optimism isn’t saying things are fine. It’s taking a pragmatic approach to life’s problems - and seeing them as temporary setbacks rather than permanent
☕️ Waking up? Take a deep breath
🙏 Anxious? Take a deep breath
📚 Busy day? Take a deep breath
🏠 Indoors? Take a deep breath
🌳 Outside? Take a deep breath
😴 Bedtime? Take a deep breath
If you’re rushing up a ladder of expectations and achievements, check you’re climbing the right ladder
Confidence isn’t about knowing people will say good things about you. It’s about being at peace with yourself even if they don’t
Listening is vital, especially when we disagree. When someone says something you find difficult, pause your natural reaction and really listen. Then calmly reflect back their message with: “So what you’re saying is…”
If you spend too much time trying to keep life under control, you miss out on actually living it. Enjoy the little things

Appreciate joyful moments and learn from difficult ones. It’s either good, or good practice
To cheer yourself up, try cheering someone else up #RandomActsOfKindnessDay
Do something your future self will thank you for. And let go of something your future self won’t really care about
Worrying may help us take action for a better tomorrow. But it can also stop us enjoying today. Aim to be a realistic optimist
Focus more on trying to help others than on trying to impress others
Asking for help can be an act of kindness too. When we reach out for support, we give others an opportunity to make a difference and experience the joy of helping
Don’t ignore what’s wrong. But choose to notice and appreciate the good things too
Give it a try. Every big achievement starts with that first small attempt
Really enjoyed hosting the brilliant Dr Jessamy Hibberd to talk about Overthinking. It turned out to be one of our most popular event themes ever, as it seems to be something lots of us struggle with! Please help to spread the word youtu.be/npx1bn3V4f0
Whatever age you are today, your future self would love to be it. Try to make the most of how things are
Being willing to change your mind is a strength not a weakness. Be firm with your values but flexible with your opinions - and let others be too
