We all get pleasure from different things whether it be our sense of humour, activities we enjoy or experiences that shape our world. Yet despite these differences, there are many consistencies to what makes us all happy. If you struggle to find the brighter side of life, happiness could be within reach after all.

Reach Out
Enjoying fulfilling relationships based on mutual respect has an enormous influence on our happiness and wellbeing. Knowing you can rely on others to support you through life will provide a great deal of pleasure and having as few as three people with whom you can share your personal feelings or partake in various activities brings a strong sense of contentment. If you often feel alone, try to identify a handful of people with whom you can connect regularly. Remember solid relationships only work with give and take: it is good to be there when your friends and family members need you too.

Take Care
We all know the importance of a healthy lifestyle but it isn’t always easy to eat well and exercise often when you’re busy taking care of everyone else’s needs. However, identifying ways to improve your diet and finding time to increase your activity levels will have a significant impact on your energy levels and overall satisfaction. Making small but beneficial changes to your shopping list, such as swapping crisps for nuts and choosing sparkling water over lemonade, will help you on your way to a healthier lifestyle.

Get Involved
Satisfaction, contentment and happiness can all be gained by helping others. Volunteering your skills and time to support the community can bring a great sense of wellbeing. Yet you might not think this possible given all the other tasks you have to do as a busy mum. Remember you help your children every day by supporting them in fun, creative and educational ways: playing in the garden, painting a picture or reading a book. Your input helps their development enormously and you reap the rewards instantly. If you do want to do more within your community, you could volunteer at a playgroup or football club, enabling you to combine your time with your children with helping others.

Be Motivated
Looking forward to a bright future motivates us to work hard today. Challenging yourself with new goals motivates and excites you to learn more things and achieve your deepest ambitions. Choosing realistic goals that help you realise the life you really want brings direction to your life and an overwhelming sense of happiness.

Love Yourself
No matter what, you must learn to accept and love the woman you are. True happiness comes when you are comfortable with your decisions and actions, as this will increase your overall enjoyment of life experiences. Embracing the real you makes you more resilient, confident and in control of your life and its direction.
