Happiful Online Magazine
Dear Happiful Reader,
As one year draws to a close, and the next hovers on the horizon, it’s natural to contemplate our lives, and if we’re living them to the fullest. Have we achieved what we set out to? Do we actually know what we’re aiming for? Is it even possible to be satisfied with life, when all the responsibilities and pressures can leave us feeling stretched thin, like butter scraped over too much bread?
Between the socially constructed expectations putting your milestones on a deadline, and comparison a mere click away, it’s easy to feel like you’re falling behind. And, in response, exhaust yourself further, trying to attain a true ‘purpose’ you can be proud of.
But the answer here could involve far less work than you tell yourself; in reality, passion and purpose are closely intertwined.
Rather than focusing solely on the end result, or thinking you have to work yourself to the bone to achieve something profound, it’s miraculous what can happen when you let yourself catch your breath (p57). Pursuing your passions, or homing in on how you enjoy spending your time, might be the secret to recharging your soul. And, from there, your potential is unlimited.
In real terms, slowing things down could actually be the key to making monumental progress. This issue encompasses that sentiment, showcasing countless ways you can reconnect with what fuels your fire, and nourishes your wellbeing.
From a life coach revealing how (and why) you can release the guilt of taking time for your hobbies (p30), to the surprising and sociable activity that could give your wellbeing a 180 (p42), and the natural remedy being prescribed by doctors (p65), turn a page with our inspiring articles.
