We tend to think of happiness as a commodity, as something that we have or don’t have. But actually, happiness is not a commodity, it's something that comes from within. Every day go within to find inner happiness. Experience it and have the aim to stay happy every day.

What is an anagram of 'listen'? 'Silent'. Silence accentuates listening. Quiet the noise in your mind and listen. Listen with a quiet mind and you'll hear the words.

A little bit of self-consciousness is OK, isn't it? It keeps us on our toes and best behaviour. But when we're overly self-conscious, we often miss out on opportunities and having a good time. So loosen up and don't worry about making a fool of yourself. Be a little less self-conscious, embrace embarrassment or awkwardness and go for it.

Do you check in with your online self, more than your real self? How about, checking in with yourself before you check in with everything else. Check in and touch base with yourself: How am I feeling? Am I pushing myself too hard? Am I happy? How do I feel about where I’m at? Am I making progress?

Many of us have the tendency to postpone even the most important things to the last moment. But sometimes the unexpected intervenes and everything collapses under the added strain. When I remain focused I am able to prioritise. I understand that small tasks can be as important as the larger ones and I make sure I get them done at the right time. I make sure I leave time for the unexpected too. This lifts the pressure and allows me to give my best in every situation.

Are you able to express negative opinions positively? Even though it can be daunting because there’s the possibility of offending others, sometimes you need to say what needs to be said. Before you express your negative opinions, consider: 1) why the communication is needed, 2) how it will make the other person feel, and 3) when and where you say it. And remember, your opinions are not facts, so you may want to use expressions such as ‘I think… I feel… I believe....’ Express, Feelings, Person

Apparently, the grass really does look greener on the other side because we view it from a different angle. Next time you find yourself comparing yourself to someone, or thinking someone has it better than you, remind yourself that you might not be seeing the full picture. And if the grass really is greener on the other side, be inspired by their efforts and accomplishments. Also remind yourself to nurture, grow and enjoy what you have, because the grass is only as green as you keep it. Different Angles, Covent Garden, The Other Side, Nurturing, Grass, Enjoyment, Views

We often try to make impermanent things permanent. We often expect things to last forever. But no matter how tightly we hold onto things, we cannot change the fact that everything will eventually change.

Try it, and you may find that it helps you to avoid attaching happiness to things lasting forever, appreciate things while you have them and deal with change effectively.

As is your attitude, so is your experience. If you find that your attitude towards someone is negative, it'll influence how you communicate and behave towards that person, and as a result, the attitude will most likely reflect back to you.

Then, make it positive and you'll increase the possibility of a positive experience. Are You Experienced, Perception, Beliefs, Attitude, Reflection, Reality

It's always someone else's fault, isn't it? But the next time you find yourself finding fault and blaming others: "Pick up the mirror, not the magnifying glass." Instead of magnifying on someone else, pick up the mirror to look at yourself.

Do this, and you'll resolve the situation constructively and thoughtfully, even when it really is someone else’s fault. Blaming Others, Magnifying Glass, Conflicted, Someone Elses, Magnifier
