Social Well being

Sustainability has 4 facets:
  • Environmental Well-being
  • Cultural Well-being
  • Economic Well-being
  • Social Well-being
Today I thought we might focus on our own personal well-being (part of Social well being) as part of thinking sustainably. 

Happiness is a big part of your own personal well being so, with a long weekend coming up and hopefully some time to really think about this, today is a challenge:
  • Write down a list of things that genuinely make you happy
  • Write down a list of things that genuinely make you unhappy
For everything that makes you happy - Make sure you ensure you do at least one of the things that make you happy everyday – more if you can!  Happiness most or all of the time is the goal!!

For everything that makes you unhappy set a goal to reverse that – depending on what it is it could be something that can be resolved very quickly or it might be a longer term project.

Remember written goals are more likely to be achieved

In the words of Oscar Wilde - “Be yourself. Everyone else is already taken"

 In my words - "Life is short – live it to the max!  There is no point being unhappy"

Have a great and sustainable weekend
