This week, Tim D drew my attention to a little gem that featured on the evening news. A recent study conducted by Travelodge has indicated that the pandemic has in fact increased levels of kindness! Could you imagine nicer news? (Perhaps, maybe an end to the pandemic I hear you cry!). The areas [...]
In September, I started something new: meditation. In fact, here at the Happynesshub HQ, we’ve all been into our meditation recently. Sally has started a new meditation class – every Tuesday morning she reports back on the delight of her Monday evening group. Ruth has been reading up on mindful birthing [...]

Day 1, well what can I say? I did the 5 minute audio mediation, which is something I've never done before, and felt quite emotional afterwards. It made me realize that it's been a very long time since I've actually made the decision to do something on my own. I'm always happy having [...]
