Take the next step. We don’t think our way into new ways of living, we live our way into new ways of thinking

Attitudes are contagious. Choose one worth spreading

You don’t need to wait for motivation before starting. Take the first step and you’ll feel more motivated

In years to come you’re likely to be nostalgic for how things are now. So take a moment to appreciate what’s good today

You can't change what happened, but you can choose the story you tell about it - and what happens next

Money doesn’t make people happy, but everyone wants to find out for themselves

Imperfect progress in the right direction is more valuable than perfect plans that don’t actually happen

Chuffed to see my book cover has been updated with the Sunday Times No. 1 strapline on the top! Also turns out Amazon is doing special 35% discount on it, so a good chance to get copies for friends and colleagues ☺️ www.amazon.co.uk/dp/178512474...

Growth Mindset. When you find yourself saying “I can’t do this” remember to add the word “yet”

Whenever possible be an enthusiast rather than a critic

Give up hoping for a better past. Focus on today. Most of life consists of everyday moments – like this one right now. The more we learn to appreciate moments like this, the more we appreciate and enjoy our whole life. We can’t change what already happened but we can choose the way we respond today

Letting go of anger doesn’t mean we’re tolerating what happened, it means we’re moving on

Really enjoyed this conversation with Simon Mundie about my journey from pain to happiness and practical ways to make life happier open.spotify.com/episode/4s1L...

If you want someone to really hear what you’re saying, start by acknowledging how they’re feeling

Julia Samuel is a brilliant therapist, author and podcast host and I was really delighted to join her for this conversation about the insights from my book open.spotify.com/episode/3zIz...

What’s the 5-minute version of an important task you keep putting off? Start by taking that first small step today and see what happens

Other people are dealing with things we can’t see. If we all threw our problems into a pile and saw everyone else's, we might grab ours back

If it’s important, make time for it. There is no “perfect time” - there’s just time and what we choose to do with it

Had a wonderful time speaking at the World Happiness Summit and meeting up with lots of inspiring people. Such a great blend of science, insights, discussion, warmth & social connection - and in a beautiful setting too ☀️

How things feel now is not how they will feel forever. So if today is hard, stay hopeful. And if today feels good, remember to really appreciate it

Mental health is just as important as physical health - in fact they go hand in hand. It’s been great supporting Mental Health Awareness Week and I really like this “top 10” actions list which links so closely to everything we’ve spent 15 years promoting @actionhappiness.bsky.social

Let it go. Don’t let yesterday take up too much of today

Give it a go. Humans are great at learning and adapting, but the most important thing is being willing to try in the first place

Let's look for the good in each other and encourage kindness - not as a soft 'nice to have' but as a strong, brave, purposeful way of approaching life. I enjoyed this inspiring conversation with Dr Lee David about how to Make Life Happier for ourselves and each other www.youtube.com/watch?v=44ub...
