On the Happy Life Habits Community Facebook Group we regularly share quotes, reflective / thought provoking questions, articles and events. The below we asked recently and have a good response to it.

May prove to be useful this month as students get their “A” Level and “GCSE” results.

My friend Deepa shared a whole series of useful ideas many of which resonate with the Self care ideas we have shared in the past:

Wow, so many strategies to help re-set:

1. Movement - walk, workout, trampoline, yogasanas, garba!

2. Sing - usually devotional music, raises my vibrational frequency!

3. Talk to friends, seek guidance, especially if it's new challenges.

4. Rest, give my nervous system a chance to feel, heal. Guided yoga nidra is great.

5. Go out into nature, tap into the natural healing components of the sun, the greenery, water, earth, air.

6. Listen to relevant podcasts/clips which help inform so can take the next steps with more awareness.

7. Just be, take time to pause, to just be. It's not as easy if the mind is on overdrive. But needs to be trained, cultivated so that you have access to do this.

8. Give myself a chance to process the heightened emotions. Often in times of stillness, usually first thing in the morning or last thing at night - poetry comes out! Sometimes in the middle of the night too, when I wake up! (Journalling and gratitude also effective)

9. Continuous practice of meditation and prayer. So much inner power there.

10. Connect - find what works best for you to connect back to your real truth/soul centre, any of the above may help.

11. Sometimes watching funny shows, just gives you a light-hearted needed distraction!

12. Pranic healing.

13. Reminding myself of certain quotes, eg 'life happens for us not to us'. For our growth and evolution.

Oh I should write, I do a lot of venting out too I find that helpful, rather than bottling up.

Oh and also crying if your system allows, so healthy and releasing.

2 Things you can help us with…

We are asking for your help on 2 activities for Happy Life Habits to grow and sustain positively impacting Happiness & Wellbeing Levels

(1) Help on renaming Happy Life Habits YoutTube channel

I'll be sharing some videos on YouTube which won't necessarily be immediately shared on Facebook, Instagram or LinkedIn.

Asking for a favour, if you subscribe to the Happy Life Habits YouTube Channel you will get the videos first and not miss any. Plus if we get 100 subscribers I can rename the channel from a random link name to Happy Life Habits. Really appreciate if you are able to subscribe to the YouTube channel and help us rename the link. After we have renamed, if the find the content not useful feel free to unsubscribe.
