You are only one workout away from a good mood

• My daily walk allows me the space to put my day/week/life back into perspective and provides the transition from work to home. 
• I am proactive, if something is worrying me I stop, decide what I can do about it, put the steps in place, get them moving and then stop worrying.
• I live in the present – when I work I work, when I am talking to friends and family I am in the conversation, when I relax I relax.
• I am going to stop checking my emails on my smartphone when I am not working
• I am going to practice a ritual, meditation or other way to be by myself for 20 minutes a day (walking works)
• I am going to get a book and write everything down that comes into my mind every morning when I wake up
• I am going to practice deep breathing when I feel stressed or angry
• I am going to get enough sleep every night
• I am going to phone someone special or pay someone a genuine compliment everyday
• I am going to surround myself with people who have a positive influence on my life
• I am going to learn to say no when it’s appropriate
• I am going to find a charity/community project that can use my skills
• I am going to determine my short, medium and long term goals and write them down

Happiness is often a choice and choosing to be happy can positively impact on your health
