learning to live a happier life

21th January 2016
    Every day that I wake up, I wake up happier than the last well at least I think I do, perhaps it just seems that way, but none the less, I feel it and even on those days where I might not have got the full 40 winks. It’s important for me to feel happy every day because the moment I let go of that feeling is the moment I fall out of love with life. The old me didn’t understand that you had to consciously live a happy life, it doesn’t just happen. You learn to live happier and you learn how to love life. So if you have ever wondered how I evolved from a mixed up little teenager into the happy-go-lucky twenty something year old that I am today, then I’m about to tell you my secrets. [lem_title]Forgiveness[/lem_title] We have all experienced times in our lives where we feel that we may have been wronged and it’s even harder to take when its from someone you like, cared about or even aspired to be. But holding on to those feelings of animosity will inevitably consume you and any happiness that you may have once felt. But learning to let go, accept what has happened and move the hell on from it, perhaps even learning a little and growing as a person along the way really is a satisfying and liberating process.

Every day that I wake up, I wake up happier than the last well at least I think I do, perhaps it just seems that way, but none the less, I feel it and even on those days where I might not have got the full 40 winks. It’s important for me to feel happy every day because the moment I let go of that feeling is the moment I fall out of love with life. The old me didn’t understand that you had to consciously live a happy life, it doesn’t just happen. You learn to live happier and you learn how to love life. So if you have ever wondered how I evolved from a mixed up little teenager into the happy-go-lucky twenty something year old that I am today, then I’m about to tell you my secrets.

[lem_title]Forgiveness[/lem_title]

We have all experienced times in our lives where we feel that we may have been wronged and it’s even harder to take when its from someone you like, cared about or even aspired to be. But holding on to those feelings of animosity will inevitably consume you and any happiness that you may have once felt.

But learning to let go, accept what has happened and move the hell on from it, perhaps even learning a little and growing as a person along the way really is a satisfying and liberating process. All you have to do is let it go.

 

[lem_title]Exercise[/lem_title]

You know all those people who moan about people who post status’ and pictures about going to the gym? Well that is exactly the kind of person you do not want to be. That person hasn’t experienced or embraced the feeling of taking care of themselves and doesn’t quite understand how exhilarating it is. I’m sure one day they will but until then simply ignore them and embrace the endorphins.

Exercise absolutely changed my world it enabled me to fall in love with my body, learn just how disciplined I am and also push myself through nothing but motivation. It really did mould me into a better person.

 

[lem_title]Be Thankful[/lem_title]

Being thankful is something I practise daily as outlined in previous posts. I’m thankful to simply wake up in the morning so everything else just blows my mind. I’m thankful for the amazing people I have in my life, like seriously there’s billions of us out there and I got blessed with a bunch of the best, what are the odds. I’m thankful that I am able to sit and snuggle with Lumi whilst sipping on a velvety coffee in the morning for just a few minutes extra, I’m thankful for the frost I had to scrape off my windscreen this morning and I’m thankful for all of these little moments throughout every day.

 

[lem_title]Surround Yourself with goodness[/lem_title]

As I mentioned, somehow I ended up with a great bunch of humans surrounding me. But when I say somehow what I really mean is I selected them intrinsically. From the best friend who selflessly helps me in day to day life or picks me up when I need it most to the Grandma who was there when I needed her the most. Those are the people who I choose to keep around me, who enrich my world every day and make it as happy as it is.

 

How do you live the happy life?

Ad Embarking on a journey of timeless treasures, my passion for antiquing began in the warmth of late summer 2019. When I discovered my father’s old boarding school tuck trunk nestled in the attic of their home. Since then, my weekends have unfolded like chapters in a novel, meandering through antiques emporiums and brocantes across the country.

Each trip unveils a tapestry of tales from bygone eras - from weathered pickling jars and vases to opulent French chandeliers and steamer trunks, and with each trip, I was captivated by the hidden secrets and untold histories woven into each artefact.

Introducing ‘Scented Mementos’ - an enchanting limited edition collection by @jomalonelondon Each fragrance, a symphony of memories, encapsulates the essence of cherished moments. Immerse yourself in the zesty allure of Emerald Thyme, or indulge in the spicy nostalgia of Ginger Beer, where notes of ginger, roasted oak, and cinnamon intertwine to evoke memories of British antiques markets.
where every scent is a love letter to the past, a fragrant homage to the beauty of antiquity. #ScentsOfBritain #JoMaloneLondon Paid partnership

Everything feels a little more optimistic as March begins don’t you think?
It’s the start of spring in my book Evergreen shortly followed by the spring equinox so there’s ample time to prepare, nest and refresh. 
The light returns, hello March 🌱
There’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad weather attire 💧
A little indulgence from my comfort of my own home thanks to INCREDIBLE @kmp_skin and @freshbeauty Ad 
for the launch of the new Lotus Youth Preserve Resurfacing dream serum which is a gentle AHA serum with prickly pear flower extract said to boost radiance and it was so lovely to be treated to a first trial to get a very first impression of the serum thanks to KMP and her magic hands. I’ve literally never had a facial like it!
