How many times have we heard that? How many times have we wondered why is it that we are going through rough patches in life instead of being happy?
Well, those of you who have watched "The Pursuit of Happiness" will know that life throws you challenges at any point in time but trying to find happiness in little things is what matters! As we celebrate Happiness month (August), let's all take one minute and reflect on all those things in life that we might take for granted but brings us immense happiness: a supporting family, a caring spouse/ partner, happy children, our pets, nature, reading a book or playing football.... and the list goes onnnnn....
Today, let's take a pledge to being happy...after all, happiness starts with you!

Make it a point to have your ME-time! It's important to prioritize self-care and make time for activities that make you happy. This may mean waking up a little earlier, taking a break from work, or cutting back on some of your responsibilities. Start by setting aside a small amount of time each day for self-care, and gradually increase as you feel more comfortable. Remember, taking care of yourself should always be a priority!
Stay away from things and people who do not add to your happiness. At times, this one can be a hard one but as much as possible, stay away from things and people who drain you of your positive vibes. It's not being selfish, it's just choosing to set your boundaries and protecting what's important for you.
