Life Coaching Happiness: Ten hints to put a smile on your face

Steve Brown from Hibiscus Life Coaching

• Buy an alarm clock and leave your phone elsewhere when you’re in bed. Less temptation for late-night scrolling!
• Caring for yourself - make homemade soup to eat at work.
• Take a two-minute cold shower each morning to dispel the blues.
• Set your alarm 30 minutes early to give yourself time for a quiet cuppa.
• Do a 10-minute tidy-up with your partner each day rather than letting the household chores pile up.
• If life’s too stimulating ‘reset your brain’ by putting your head under the bedcovers for 15 minutes to shut out the world.
• Brush your teeth standing on one foot and alternate the foot each night. Great to develop better balance!
• Unsubscribe from retailers' email lists you follow but don’t usually read.
• Start each day by acknowledging three things (big or small) you’re thankful for.
• Have one day a week set aside as ‘social media free’.

Share your New Zealand music memories...

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

It's NZ Music Month and New Zealand really has some beautiful songs from artists that we call our own.

Whether it's April Sun in Cuba, Don't Forget your Roots, or How Bizarre or Bic Runga's 'Sway' - songs have a way of unlocking memories and evoking old feelings.

In honour of NZ Music Month, share a New Zealand song or artist that is special to you and explain why.

Type 'Not For Print' if you wish your comments to be excluded from the Conversations column of your local paper.
