Still Living Happy And Guilt Free

As promised, some more tips ...
  • Be present in the moment. The past is to learn from, the future is to keep you inspired but its what you’re doing right now that counts.
  • Have some direction – set yourself realistic and timely goals for your big ambitions and then break them down into smaller goals and actions
  • Don’t just move straight on to the next thing - celebrate your achievements, even if it is with something small – a coffee, a massage, a new bag or pair of shoes
  • Manage your time effectively and efficiently – eg. embrace a brunch or afternoon coffee to catch up with friends rather than dinner and drinks
  • Make an appointment in your diary to see or speak to your mum at least once a week – and stick to it!
  • Get smart with your time and combine different needs (do something fun that you’ve never done before that you’ve always wanted to do … and then ask a friend to come along – a community college course, cooking class, sporting team?)
  • After a break up, treat yourself to something you didn’t do, but wanted to, when you were in the relationship
  • Grab a buddy and commit to sending each other one text/email each day, starting with “today I am grateful for … – think of it as a “warm and fuzzy” for yourself!?!
