As May is Mental Health Awareness Month, I've decided to focus on happiness .... and why should I choose this as my key topic?

It's a hot topic!!

Happiness isn't something you can pluck from a takeaway list of essential and desirable characteristics, and yet, if you Google the term 'happiness' it returns about 4,360,000,000 results!

In fact Happiness was searched more than ever on Google Search in 2020 (and 2021). People went online to look for hope. 'Google’s year-in search term proved how much people across the world were struggling throughout to survive the COVID-19 pandemic'.

One of the top topics (no surprise here) being 'Health and Happiness'. They go hand-in-hand. I'm sure you'd agree but they are both equally distinct and bear no relationship to one another in terms of definition and to assume so leads to confusion.

For example, you can be of poor health and yet still feel a sense of inner peace and contentment. You may be happy but blissfully...
