Life is full, life is productive, life is busy, life can be hard, life can also be awesome. To a point it is what we make it and its quality dependent on our mindset.

But when life gets full and busy and we are prioritising work, family, friends, colleagues, even strangers, who is taking care of you?

In order to PERFORM at your best you need to bump yourself up to the top of the list and make sure you are extending the same level of care, kindness and compassion to yourself that you extend to other people.

I know this sounds like the last thing you want to do and maybe you don’t feel worthy of that priority – but I assure you that you are worthy.

Let’s start with a simple way to prioritise you and that’s with a happiness hour… no, not a happy hour down the pub (though in moderation…yay!) I mean a non-negotiable hour dedicated to you and your happiness.

I want you to literally schedule it in your diary as you would a meeting, appointment at the doctor or dentist or meeting with your kid’s school. A whole hour of ‘you time’.

Yes, it may sound pointless but it’s not. Those that prioritise self-compassion and kindness are less likely to slip into self-loathing and experience poor mental health because spending an hour on you and for you boosts your positive emotions, increases your sense of wellness, boosts emotional fitness and protects your mental health.

What will you do? With whom and where? Put it in your diary now and feel free to report back. You can even pop over and join my community at https://www.facebook.com/groups/thewaytoperform for some accountability.

Enjoy your happiness hour, schedule it in weekly to begin with and then think about upping it to daily!

Much Love
