Take A Moment
Sometimes we just need to take a moment to catch our breath, reset ourselves or get ready of the next challenge. Take a moment now to reflect on the last few months of this year and what you have experienced and learnt. Take a moment to reflect on what you want to experience in the next 3 months and also by the end of the year. I’ll take a moment here to share what Happy Life Habits has planned over the next 3 months. We are your partner on the happiness journey.

With that episode we have continuously served 12 weeks, each week of Inspiration Point Podcast through series 2 and series 3. The feedback from those who attended the live episodes is that majority:
Would recommend Inspiration Point Podcast to family and friends
Compared to start of episode, at the end of the episode their happiness levels were higher
I thank all the guests who have taken part in the 3 series we have had so far (18 episodes), the sponsors and all those who have attended the live episode or caught up on the recording. Each episode has been special, insightful, inspiring, positive and I have learnt much from it. There are patterns and differences. Please do share any feedback you may have.
If you would like to take part in a future episode or know someone who might please share this form. The more forms filled the sooner we can plan series 4 and 5 later this year.
Speaker Events
We continue to host and share events and also get invited to speak at those organised by various communities, groups, companies and organisations.

Also see further below about Mental Health Awareness Week.

Gratitude & Journal Habit Immersion Training Course
The Happy Life Habits Gratitude and Journal Habit Immersion Training Course will be one year old on 1st June. We just finished the March course and have June and November this year. For June we have option of morning sessions or evening sessions.
The course run over 30 days helps to develop habits in both Gratitude and Journaling and reap the benefits of these practices. The first session, a Journal Workshop has been extended to 90 mins from original 60 mins incorporating ideas on habits from various sources including: Atomic Habits - James Clear, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People - Stephen Covey and the ideas of B.J Fogg and Charles Duhigg.
If this year you want to deepen you Gratitude practice, develop it as a new one or add a journal practice then this is the course for you. The benefits delivered by the course are immense, far reaching and in excess of the investment price.
The course price will be going up on 17th May - after Mental Health Awareness Week. You can secure a place for June or Nov at the current price by registering before mid-May.
Really do not miss out on this opportunity to develop these skills during 2021, I currently have not idea if and what frequency will run the course in 2022.
Mental Health Awareness Week : 10-16 May
Last year we supported Mental Health Awareness Week (MHAW) in various ways on each day. This year we will support MHAW. If you are aware of any resources or events please do let us know by 25th April so we can include them in an article before MHAW.
We have a free 21 Day Simple Living Challenge that will start on 10th May. Each day you get an email in your inbox with a thought, reflection or action and you can go onto the kindspring platform for the challenge and share your experiences and read the other participants. I found these challenges a brilliant support during the pandemic and lockdown months.

STAR FISH STORY - WORLD HAPPINESS AWARD NOMINATION -SHAILEEN SHAH
Sometimes doubt and chatter (my friend Ashik has just sent me book called Chatter by Ethan Kross) creeps in making me wonder if I am making a difference, is there value? is it worth the time, energy, attention and financial investment? Then a conversation, testimonial or message comes through letting me know that it made a difference to them.

WORLD HAPPINESS AWARD NOMINATION
Sometimes doubt and chatter (my friend Ashik has just sent me book called Chatter by Ethan Kross) creeps in making me wonder if I am making a difference, is there value? is it worth the time, energy, attention and financial investment? Then a conversation, testimonial or message comes through letting me know that it made a difference to them. This reminds me of the classic star fish story shared here.
I am humbly excited and reassured when a Happy Life Habits Community member, client and now a friend, Mary, told me that she had nominated me for a World Happiness Award. Just the fact that she thought to nominate me is fantastic. It means so much to feel I have made a difference, had a positive impact and enthuses me to keep going.
I am not one for chasing awards, I consider myself to be more intrinsically motivated, however as I do my inner work, combat/understand the ego, be more internally validated, from time to time it is helpful to have some external validation.
From website, YouTube, Podcast stats I can see that what I am sharing is reaching people from around the world - all continents (except Antarctica - not yet!). The Facebook and LinkedIn platforms tell me that event though people may not have liked, commented or reacted to a post, the post has reached or be seen by a few hundred people. Please do like, comment, react and share - it helps the post to reach more people.
Previous articles on the website that share great value are being found from search queries. I am getting requests from people who want to write a guest article for the website.
You may have attended a talk, workshop, training course , book club, read an article, received an email or seen a post on Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, WhatsApp or just had a conversation. If it uplifted you then please do cast a vote.
If you have been positively impacted by the work I do through Happy Life Habits of positively impacting Happiness & Wellbeing levels please do cast your vote, takes 30 seconds.
