Living a value-based life is the key to happiness. We stay true to ourselves when we make decision based on our values instead of what others think we should do

Stories provide a much-needed respite in a world that is often filled with conflict and sadness. They remind us of the beauty and the potential for good in the world, and they give us hope that, despite the challenges, there may always be a happy ending.

Learning to forgive can be crucial for our mental health. It’s not about letting people off the hook for their wrongdoings but rather about forgiving whatever has happened in the past and learning how to move on with positivity and acceptance.

Changing the way we think does not happen overnight but can be made with effort and as a conscious choice. Be aware each time you think negatively or talk to yourself in an unkind way to change that habit and replace that thought with a more appropriate one, a thought that’s uplifting, encouraging, and cheerful.

It’s no secret that having fun and laughing can reduce mental health struggles and improve your overall sense of well-being, create satisfying relationships, and uplifts your outlook in life, becoming more optimistic and positive.

Setting intentions, change your life, give you a purpose, clarify your values and set you up for happiness. Improve your wellbeing for a successful new year.

The future is not yet here, and it may be hopeful if we think about it in a positive way or fearful if we think about it negatively. However, both do not exist.

Slow living is a lifestyle movement that proposes simple living, focusing on the essentials and doing what truly matters.
