Happiness Tip 97

 
Welcome to tip 97

I have been reminded during this 'lock down' of what makes me happy..yes perhaps a bit indulgent for a Happiness Coach!...but anyway...I have, as I say, been reminded about me. And what makes me happy is a happy mix of friends and family, praying, doing something worthwhile such as my coaching and speaking engagements, enjoying my regular exercise session, shopping and lunch with girl friends, reading, walks, films and entertaining.

Having got over the original shock to my system, I began this weekend catching up with family in Ohio, I shared my prayers with those who know me well, enjoyed an initiative of the local Church of a service on the sofa offered up on youtube, we took our daily walk at 4pm, I arranged a couple of Skype calls for today, I joined a Zoom with school chums which was beyond fun, and watched a film.

Today I have booked into my diary 3 contacts with dear friends and family...2 skype and 1 facetime. We can all get through this, we just have to get used to our new normal for the next 6 months.

Wishing everyone a very safe week, a safe month of lighter evenings and a new way of individually finding your own happiness and helping others too.
