#Tip33 – Cut it Out

#Tip32 – Mind Your Language
earning a new language could sound like another one of those time-consuming activities that just takes up too much time and energy especially when you could be doing something else.

#Tip23 – Time to Reframe it

#Tip21 – Hugs Matter
Now that we're allowed to (carefully) in the UK, we're looking at hugging, scruffy dogs and why physical connection is good for us
#Tip19 – Blink or you’ll miss it!
This week's top tip is that blinking, taking a moment to take a mental 'snap shot', can really help us remember the positive moments in our lives, so that we not only remember them but reflect and see more of these kind of events in the future.
