If you know me, you'll probably know that l'm OBSESSED with all things self-development and because of my crappy formative years, l made the decision some time back that happiness is key for me!
And people often say to me things like 'so, are you just happy now?!' to which l always respond with words to the effect of No, 'it's something l purposefully focus on every day'. Because it is! You can't just go to the gym for two weeks in your twenties and then be fit for life (might be nice though right?!) You've gotta go, then go again, then like hit repeat for the rest of your days!!!!

When l work with children l will often ask them how they would feel about going to school if they were to think about all the things they don’t like about school and all of the things that might go wrong there. And l then ask them how they might feel about going to school if they were to focus upon the bits of it they like, the fact that they will see their friends and so on?

l’ll give you a clue to the answer here, and it’s one word: focus. Think about it, when you are saying ‘hello’ to something or someone wanted, it might be a new job, a holiday destination or someone you love, then as a rule you are focused in a positive way upon it or them and what you expect to enjoy.
