Remaining positive is a mental skill that we can practise, and like with any other skill, we use it or lose it. Sometimes it’s more challenging than others and we need to consciously practice it daily to reap the benefits for our overall happiness and wellbeing.

Everything we do starts with a thought.

Everything we don’t do starts with a thought.

‘Change your thoughts and you change your world’ Norman Vincent Peale

Our brain controls our every function and everything we do starts with a thought.

Wellbeing is gradually taking its rightful place as a priority in our lives. For me, this means looking at ourselves in the round; whole people living whole lives.

Success is often linked with celebrity, academic grades, winning in sports, how far we get up the career ladder and money.

All of those are valid but in my view it’s vital that we define what success means for us in a holistic way, in all areas of our life.
