We believe happiness is a habit

Small shifts and dozens of pint-sized ‘right actions’ – have made a massive difference to our lives.

We believe in using simple tools to overcome those pesky excuses that separate you and a happier life.

Why tools? You have to use tools to get a result. It is no good having a tool belt full of shiny tools and not doing anything with them.

How to use this site: Start with which excuses below get in your way and discover over 100 tools that may help shift those excuses.

But first lets us introduce our two most famous tools and why they work:

Writing a Top Five List

Every day, write down five positive things. I’m not talking about the roof over your head or the nourishing meal on your plate. I’m talking about the people, experiences, things, happenings and tools that you’re grateful for each day.

This little habit not only has enormous benefits for individuals but has become a movement
of generosity and happiness. We believe it can change the world.

We’ve even shared it on the TEDx stage, at universities, in publications and more.

Did you know we have 65,000 thoughts a day?READ MORE

It depends who* you ask but there is evidence to say we think up to 65,000 thoughts a day. Some of our thoughts are helpful, some are neutral and some are, well, downright damaging. Many of our thoughts (up to 95%*) are old thoughts on repeat each day. Many of them are negative and get this…some of them in the mix aren’t even ours (eg. someone told you you were too slow/too tall/too busy to follow your goals)!

The best news is we have the opportunity to add in new thoughts every day. So why not feed your mind positively when you can?

A positive thought or reflection today can go on to repeat consciously or unconsciously and take the place of more unhelpful thoughts in our minds.

More positive thoughts can lead to more positive action in our lives, less excuses and a happier life.

So how do you shift your thinking? Our two most famous tools can help and both reveal what makes you happiest and help prime yourself for positivity. They help you: 1 / Tune in to your happiest moments. 2 / Unleash positivity and spark conversations. 3 / Cultivate gratitude and presence so you can become happier, healthier and more positive!

*Move over Bunsen burners and periodic tables, there are many clever scientists with enormous brains debating this actual number. Either way we know we think a crazy amount of ideas, opinions, plans and notions everyday and they can create a lot of strain on our minds and bodies, especially when they are negative.
