Since last writing I took a week off and went down to stay on the coast by the New Forest, it's so beautiful down there. Luckily the rain abated and I got to go to the beach every day. Taking a few days off was a reminder how important it is to make time for yourself to relax, I now schedule in a day a week to do what ever I want to do!

One exercise that is great to do is plan to do something that makes you happy once a week, more if you have the time! Start off by writing a list of all the things that make you smile, at least 50, and then pop them into your diary. Some of my favourites are baking, walking along the river/beach, going to Portobello Market, catching up with a friend and having a massage.

Also trick to start each day off fantastically is to do something you love for ten minutes as soon as you get up, so you could use some of the things on your list for that too!

Lastly, I just want to leave you with this quote, it's one of my favourites:

Be Content

Wherever I am is wherever I am meant to be, whatever I am doing is whatever I am meant to be doing and whatever everyone else is doing is exactly what they are meant to be doing - this is contentment. If you do want to change where you are, or what you are doing, the first thing is to be content with wherever you are and whatever you are doing right now!

Paradoxically that's what attracts opportunities and invitations to be somewhere else! Why? Because you are a living magnet, and contentment is one of your most attractive qualities. And the law of attraction says that according to your dominant thoughts so you will attract the people and circumstances into your life. Being content right now attracts the best possible future.
