90 ways to improve your emotional wellbeing.....

It was World Mental Health Day on Saturday - I thought I'd share 90 ways to improve your emotional health.

1. Relax.
2. Trust the moment - stop projecting forward what may happen focus on what is happening.
3. Reserve judgement - if something is happening - you may not know if this is good or bad yet - you may not know for a while.
4. It's ok to be wrong.
5. It's ok to fail.
6. Bury the hatchet.
7. Let go of yesterday.
8. Let go of what just happened.
9. Forgive - people do bad things because they are afraid / insecure / ignorant - we all do bad things from time to time.
10. Be tolerant - if they get your meal wrong, be tolerant, it's ok.

12. Rest.
13. Stop giving yourself a hard time.
