Take the advice in the photo thought for the week. To “B” happy, set yourself a realistic New Year’s Resolution. Have you already fallen down on your resolution to make it a “dry” January? No problem; the chances are almost everyone else has. It’s hard to change the habits of a lifetime. If the previous 12 months have been “wet”. Then, you are trying to kick the habits of a lifetime! The solution just start again. This time, be realistic and resolve to go just one day longer than your original attempt. Repeat the process as often as necessary. It’s the only way to make this or any other “resolution” stick.

Take the advice in the photo thought for the week. To “B” happy, set yourself a realistic New Year’s Resolution. Then, you can give yourself a boost by sticking to it and an even bigger boost by building on it. If you want to “work out more” and are just starting out. Resolve to begin with a brisk walk for a mile or two each day. This can then develop into jogging before you are ready to splash out on an annual gym membership.
Statistics show that just under 50% of people make a New Year’s Resolution, and just over 50% claim to have achieved it.
Don’t worry if you fall down on the first day. Trying to change a long-time habit will inevitably result in setbacks. You need time to adapt and make changes to your life, which means being prepared to begin again repeatedly.

Good things will follow from that.

Take the advice in the photo thought for the week. To “B” happy, always have hope. Hope is a belief that should things go wrong now. They will not go wrong forever. I might be unsuccessful now, but I will not fail forevermore. Hope is knowing that if I am wounded, then I will be restored.

Take the advice in the photo thought for the week. To “B” happy, accept that unhappiness is a part of life. This way, you will better cope with sadness when it arises. When your life is full of sunshine and smiles, be aware that life will not always be like this. When the clouds come to block out the sun, know that this will always be the way.

Over just getting by.

Take the advice in the photo thought for the week. To “B” happy, live for each day as if it is the beginning of a new life. Don’t spend your day regretting past days. Or seeking to experience future days in anticipation of what they might or might not be. Peace and happiness lie in living each day as a fresh start to a new life.

Take the advice in the photo thought for the week. To “B” happy, be conscious of living in the moment. Do not fret over what has gone. Do not worry over what might or might not be.

Irrespective of what has past and what might be to come.

Take the advice in the photo thought for the week. To “B” happy, take the time to………watch the birds in your garden - enjoy the warmth of the sunshine on a sunny day – marvel at the autumn colours – touch the cold of the frost on your windscreen – lean with your back to a tree and rest in its strength – let the distant stars in the night sky draw you into eternity - absorb the calmness of the splendour of nature. Let the world of nature be your haven of peace and your rainbow of beauty.

Take the advice in the photo thought for the week. To “B” happy, feel positive vibes. When what you are doing refreshes your spirit, warms your soul and touches your heart. Then, you are having a positive day. Ensure that at least one activity in your day makes you feel these positive vibes.

Take the advice in the photo thought for the week. To “B” happy, make the grass greener wherever you are now. Don’t accept that the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. This phrase should be modified to state that the grass is always greener where it has been watered the most. Carrying water to green the grass takes effort and a non-leaky bucket. Are you pulling your weight and watering the grass where you are now? Are you making the right effort to enhance your family and social group? Are you pulling your weight at work? Put the work into watering the grass where you are now and watch it turn greener. You don’t always need the upheaval of a fresh start.

Take the advice in the photo thought for the week. To “B” happy, sing your own song. Evolution has hard-wired us to follow leaders and seek to imitate them. This is why “influencers” or “opinion leaders” or media stars or famous people are so attractive to advertisers to help sell their products. Don’t follow others. Sing your own song. Only you have been equipped to sing it. Fulfil your destiny amongst your family and friends. Maybe you could influence the wider world and society.

It keeps disappointment out of your life. Even if everything does not quite work out as you expected, you now know how to modify the experience for better results next time. Always see your future as one of promise and possibilities, enhanced by worthwhile experiences gained today. On the other hand, however valuable, things collected today remain inert, lifeless material objects in the future. Choose a holiday rather than a diamond ring.

Take the advice in the photo thought for the week. To “B” happy, in the future, practice acceptance. Accept the past. Accept your successes. Accept your mistakes. Accept your regrets. Acceptance is your best defence to keep your thoughts positive. Acceptance means you have a firm foundation to meet any difficult times that may come along in the future. It enables you to embrace new dreams and fresh hopes with a forgiving heart.

Take the advice in the photo thought for the week. To “B” happy, think thoughts of love. We can change our lives by altering our thoughts. Think thoughts of love, and you will find that you demonstrate that love in your life and that those around you love you. Think of doing good deeds, and your life will abound in being helpful.

If that impact is bad remember a mistake is also a lesson.

Take the advice in the photo thought for the week. To “B” happy, enjoy making changes in the puzzle of your life. Life is like a giant jigsaw. Each day, a new piece arrives.

Look for the right piece to fit in any gap in your life. Once all the pieces of life’s puzzle are in the right places. Your happiness will be complete.

Take the advice in the photo thought for the week. To “B” happy, be in control. Life will make choices for us. Some will seem fair, some unfair; some will make us happy, some unhappy. Life’s choices are endless, but we can control how they affect us. Do you dream dreams with no chance of fruition or dreams that can come true? Do you give up when things become tough or keep going knowing the sunshine will return? Do you choose to walk on the sunny side of the street or in the shadows? Is your natural reaction to respond with a smile or a scowl? Life’s possibilities are endless, and the chance of happiness comes with each choice.

In your turn, you can offer your specialness to their lives. In this way, you are making the most of the potential of each new day.

Take the advice in the photo thought for the week. To “B” happy, be realistic and admit you are less than perfect. That is what being human is. Allow those who love you to help you.

Heed the voice inside of you telling you to be your own best self. Take the roads in your life you wish to follow. They will be the ones that fill you with enthusiasm and where your abilities and interests will thrive. Don’t follow the roads others advise because they are popular.

Take the advice in the photo thought for the week. To “B” happy, always look forward to the next hour of your life. You are privileged to live it once.

Every morning you are given the irreplaceable present of twenty-four golden hours.

Take the advice in the photo thought for the week. To “B” happy, follow the Chinese proverb, “The glory is not in never failing, but in rising every time you fail”.

Take the advice in the photo thought for the week. To “B” happy, forgive yourself and others. This way, you will not be troubled by old mistakes.

Take the advice in the photo thought for the week. To “B” happy, let go of past heartaches. No amount of crying or agonising can remake one event that has passed. But a little careful planning and thoughtful working out can make for many glorious times in the future.
