It seems that happiness is a very trendy topic these days. I would say it has come into the forefront of our consciousness. The most recent Maclean’s magazine (March 14, 2016 has the following cover story:

“Why You’re Never Happy — We’re safer, richer, healthier — and more miserable — than ever.”

A friend recently sent me a Ted talk video on this topic and I wanted to share it with you. It might surprise you to find out what really makes us live longer, live healthier and happier.

[I’ll let you in on something: I’ve given you a hint in the quote.] But don’t let that stop you, watch this short video to find out what happened when they tracked people over a 70-year period.

Enjoy and remember, happiness is a state of mind and therefore, must come from within. If you or someone you love is in need of addiction counselling, trauma counselling or relationship counselling, don’t hesitate to reach out. We are here for you.

All the best,

Sue
