Happiness isn't just about feeling good – it's about living in alignment with your values and purpose while managing inevitable stress more effectively.
• Stress is the primary barrier to happiness, hijacking your brain and making good decisions difficult
• Toning your vagus nerve through humming, breath work, movement, connection and nature helps reset your nervous system
• Self-care doesn't just take time – it expands time by improving decision-making and clarity
• Colour-code tasks as red (urgent), yellow (needs attention), green (ongoing) or grey (time-wasters) to manage overwhelm
• Create space between receiving feedback and responding to avoid reactive decisions
• When confused or uncertain, ask for clarification rather than guessing
• Focus on enjoying the learning process rather than fixating solely on grades
