    4 Things you need to do to achieve your dream life

    What would it mean to you to have the life of your dreams? Would you even know if you were living it right now, or would you have missed the signs and kept your gaze fixed on the horizon?

    In today’s super-fast digital world, it is easy to have dreams sold to us by media and marketing businesses that tell us what to want. Big brands manipulate us into thinking about how we’ll never really be content until, or unless, we have their latest, biggest product in our hands, and the lifestyles of the rich and famous (as shown to us by carefully curated TV shows) expand and distort our sense of what the good life means.

    But have you ever really sat down and tried to articulate your own dream life, without letting the preoccupations and marketing slogans of others get in the way? Have you actually been taking steps towards the life you want to live, rather than just the one you’ve been told you should want?

    There’s nothing wrong with wanting a bit of material comfort in your life, but will that new phone or car fulfill you, personally, in the same way, that doing a first aid certification online might?

    Self-care resolutions for finding happiness in the new year

    Every single year, we celebrate the first day. January 1st is a day to be happy because right in front of you is a whole year stretched ahead and it’s totally blank. The pages in the calendar are fresh and untouched.
