Thank you Jill for this great list of questions for reflection!

This month we're talking about change in the Socialish community. Today we remember those who gave their lives so we may live ours. Let us not forget and be forever changed by their sacrifice.

Want to boost your happiness? This month in the Socialish Community we're focussing on the 5 character strengths that are most highly correlated with increased happiness. They are Love, Hope, Curiosity, Zest and Gratitude.

How satisfied are you with your current level of happiness?
Are you ready to take steps to create more happiness in your life today?

If you'd like to learn more about how to boost happiness or increase your life satisfaction stay tuned. In the weeks ahead I'll be rolling out new programming in Socialish where you can connect with others on a similar journey. The work we'll do together will support you in rebooting your life to become happier, mentally healthier and live a life of meaning.

Aristotle, one of the greatest philosophers, knew that the beginning of understanding others and the world around us starts with a deeper awareness of ourselves.

Thanks to Michelle Clarke for bringing this to my awareness during our conversation today. You are a wise and insightful woman.

This month in the Socialish community we're learning about the happiness strengths collection - those strengths that are most highly correlated with a boost in happiness.

Gratitude is at the top of the list and with it being Canadian Thanksgiving, it's a great time to stretch your gratitude muscles. One of my favourite ways to practice gratitude is to tell someone dear to me, how grateful I am for having them in my life.

Today I'm feeling grateful for this young lad, my husband Evan Kuz, who infuses his top strengths of kindness, humour, appreciation of beauty and excellence, and teamwork into my life every day.

I'm also forever grateful for James P***l who introduced us 19+ years ago because he thought we'd be perfect for each other. Turns out he was right.

Who are you grateful for you today?

This month we're taking a deep dive and exploring the topic of Focus in Social(ish). What does it mean to focus? How can we zero in on what is most important to us, so we don't spend our precious energy and time being distracted and getting side-tracked on other unimportant things?

FOCUS. If this intrigues you, become a member of Social(ish) and join the discussion. It's free.
