Be a Realistic Optimist. Realism helps us see things as they are. Optimism helps us make them better

You don’t need to worry so much about what others think of you. Most people are so caught up with their own stuff that they don’t even notice

Take time to switch off and rest. Most things work better when you unplug them for a while, including you

Encouraging others usually works much better than criticising. Same goes for how you speak to yourself

There’s a great freedom that comes from not taking things personally

Not everything that weighs you down is yours to carry. Focus on what you can do and let go of the rest

Take the next step. We don’t think our way into new ways of living, we live our way into new ways of thinking

Attitudes are contagious. Choose one worth spreading

You don’t need to wait for motivation before starting. Take the first step and you’ll feel more motivated

In years to come you’re likely to be nostalgic for how things are now. So take a moment to appreciate what’s good today

You can't change what happened, but you can choose the story you tell about it - and what happens next

Money doesn’t make people happy, but everyone wants to find out for themselves

Imperfect progress in the right direction is more valuable than perfect plans that don’t actually happen

Chuffed to see my book cover has been updated with the Sunday Times No. 1 strapline on the top! Also turns out Amazon is doing special 35% discount on it, so a good chance to get copies for friends and colleagues ☺️ amazon.co.uk/dp/1785124749?t…

Growth Mindset. When you find yourself saying “I can’t do this” remember to add the word “yet”

Whenever possible be an enthusiast rather than a critic

Give up hoping for a better past. Focus on what you can do today Most of life consists of everyday moments – like the one you’re experiencing right now. The more we learn to appreciate and enjoy moments like this one today, the more we will appreciate and enjoy our whole life. One thing we can never do is change what’s already happened. One thing we can always do is choose the way we respond right now. Over 90% of the 100 billion humans who have ever lived are no longer alive. You have something precious they would all give anything for: Today

Letting go of anger doesn’t mean we’re tolerating what happened, it means we’re moving on

Really enjoyed my conversation with @simonmundie about the journey from pain to happiness and practical ways to make life happier open.spotify.com/episode/4s1…
