Sleeptember

You may not have known this, but the month of September has been coined ‘Sleeptember’ – an awareness month looking at how you can achieve better sleep and what benefits good sleep can bring. Personally, I find I excel at sleeping… it is something I love almost as much as food [...]

Finding a Way to Happy

For me, much of the past year was quite awful – I had given up on a lot of things and was down in a dark place by myself. However, things started to brighten up around May when I went to GAFX (the Games, Animation and Visual FX Conference that was [...]

Positivity Writing

“We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospect.” Anaïs Nin Studying Journalism at University I’ve found writing to be both a burden and a blessing. Endless essays and reams of references can take a toll on your soul, however for the most part I’ve found writing out [...]

Imagination and Creation

Last Monday was a big day here at the Happynesshub. As our telly and happiness worlds draw closer together, we embarked on an ‘away-day’ to really knuckle down and refine some new ideas. The day was filled with productivity and some surprisingly solid achievements that will act as a great foundation [...]

A Beginner’s Thoughts on Mindfulness

Last week on one of the hottest June days of the last 40 years, I found myself packed into a crowded hall as part of the 1000-strong crowd who were audience to Jon Kabat-Zinn, regarded by many as the father of mindfulness in the Western world. We heard about how in 1979 he [...]
