A big thank you to The HappySelf® Journal who kindly gifted some copies of the The Happy Self Junior Journals to some of our children and young people, ahead of their visit to Clarence House last week ✨

Even though I took my 4 year old to the theatre today, the most noteworthy thing she decided to record in her The HappySelf® Journal journal at bedtime was that Hamza Yassin won BBC Strictly ✨.

Please can you point me in the direction of lesser known children’s charities? 👍🏻

6 Morning Rules: 1. Get up early 2. No phone for the first hour 3. Take a walk 4. Sit with a journal 5. Do the important things first 6. Be happy…you woke up alive.

My general advice for life: 1.What are you feeling? 2.Work out from that what you want. 3.Ask for it/work for it/go for it. There! I’ve saved you a fortune in therapy.
