Learn to Be Happy
In my experience one of the biggest keys to achieving your goals is breaking them down into baby steps. “Faith is taking the first step, even when you don’t see the whole staircase” – Martin Luther King, Jr (paraphrased). The King Center. I am experiencing this myself right now.
Wellbeing in the workplace is essential to the success of your business. If your employees are unhappy they will be less productive, less engaged, take more time off sick and ultimately cost you money. In the U.S. unhappy workers cost up to $550 billion every year. It is estimated that 137.3 million days were lost in the UK in 2016 due to sickness or injury.
On the flipside, happy employees are more engaged, more productive, take less time off work and will make you more money. They will give your customers a better service, which means those customers will keep coming back and recommend you to others. Having a wellbeing in the workplace policy will contribute to the happiness of your employees and will also help you achieve corporate social responsibility (CSR). At the Happiness Club we offer daily morning motivation sessions and weekly Happiness workshops to help ensure your employees are happy. In this blog post we share our tips for wellbeing in the workplace.
As you may know I’ve been weaning off my anti-depressants since the latter part of 2017. I’ve been on them for 26 years – since I was 17! I’ve tried to come off them many times before and each time I had a relapse. I had a relapse this time as I mentioned in my previous post Coming off the meds (again!). The difference is I was able to work through my feelings using my toolbox of Happiness techniques. I continued to cut down the meds and I took my final dose a couple of weeks ago. I must admit I’m feeling pretty chuffed and proud of myself. Continue reading “Life after anti-depressants”
Sometimes we all have off days and it’s important to give yourself a break. I had a bad day on Saturday. As you may know I’m in training to run a half marathon in September. I was planning to go to the local park run on Saturday but a few things went wrong and I couldn’t make it. Continue reading “Give yourself a break”
A great way to get what you want is to set and achieve goals. To achieve your goals, they should be CSMART.
Holding a fire ceremony is a great way to move forward with your life and get what you want. Although this can be done at any time of year, it’s particularly powerful at certain times such as Summer Solstice and New Year. Continue reading “Simple Summer Solstice Fire Ceremony”
Please note that Learning to Love Myself has evolved and is now part of my new business ‘The Happiness Club‘.
I’ve been on anti-depressants for over 25 years! I’m currently weaning myself off them. Every time I’ve tried to come off them before I’ve had a relapse, as you may know from my previous posts. This time I was, and am, determined to stick with it and work through any feelings that come up. I know that negativity is bound to come up as the medication has been suppressing my feelings for such a long time. Continue reading “Coming off the meds (again!)”

Technically it was awarded to the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN), although I played my part…For a few years now I’ve wanted to donate some of my time to charity and I have volunteered in various roles. In June 2016 I started volunteering for the Soka Gakkai International (SGI). I’ve often wondered if this is a worthy cause and then I remind myself that the purpose of the Soka Gakkai is to achieve Kosen Rufu (world peace) in the world and that’s probably the best cause there is.
