'Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends on It' by Kamal Ravikant “Anything is possible when you have the right people there to support you.” – Misty Copeland
This week’s Friday Read’s recommendation is ‘Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends on It’ by Kamal Ravikant. Blurb: Kamal Ravikant knows misery well. In 2011, the company Kamal had spent the last 10 years of his life nurturing and growing suddenly and embarrassingly went under. He experienced a profound depression, the kind that made him physically ill and bedridden. The only source of light in this darkest moment was a meditation, a chant that came to him and provided the only source of comfort he could muster: I love myself. Kamal began his transformational journey by repeating this over and over to himself. I love myself. I love myself. I love myself. Even when he didn’t believe it (especially when he didn’t believe it).This meditation grew in the form of a system of tools for keeping him positive, balanced and moving forward. Kamal’s spiritual healing changed his physical and emotional states, and his entire person shifted for the better. Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends on It is the powerful story of Kamal’s radical self-growth journey and his specific practice for listeners. Dynamic, vulnerable and ultimately life-changing, this book holds a universal appeal for anyone who has ever struggled to get out of bed in the morning or smile through profound sadness.

Across HappiMe social media this week, we will be focusing on the importance of staying connected. Now, as we come out of the UK’s second lockdown, sliding into a festive period like no other, we can’t help but think about how important staying connected to those around us is. We can look at this from multiple angles... One of which might be that you are feeling disconnected and in need of support, but unsure how to seek and receive it. Another angle might be that you have loved ones, colleagues or neighbours who might need some extra care this Christmas time. In the coming days, we will be sharing ideas, tips and advice on how to stay connected, whilst living in such an isolated world. Tip 1? Smile in passing. You never know how someone else’s day may be going. A smile can connect strangers in a way that can make all the difference. If you feel in need of support or specific advice, please get in touch.

My child often has a bad tummy... “Be gentle with yourself. You are doing your best.” - Unknown
Over the past few days, we’ve been discussing why children may misbehave before school. Today, we wanted share some more advice… This time, on children saying, “I have a bad tummy” before school. Firstly, and most importantly – we are not a team of clinicians. If you are worried about any aspect of your child’s health, you must always consult your GP or another licensed medical professional. In this post, we are going to discuss some of the less concerning issues that may be behind, “my tummy hurts”. Here are some questions to ask yourself and approach with your child…
It may be that your child has a “nervous tummy”, so asking questions or reading stories about this topic may help. Talking with their school can help too, as they may be able to shed some light on any friendship issues or changes in school. It could also be diet related, or a genuine physical health issue, in which case, talking with a GP can help too. You could also check out this short and snappy article.

Why does my child do this?
This week, we will be answering COMMON QUESTIONS! Last week, we shared some advice on lying – a topic that isn’t very openly discussed. As lots of you sent us messages, we thought we might focus on some of the most commonly asked questions, in a hope to cover other important topics that may be hard to tackle alone. One of the key messages we share with the parents/carers of our clients is that poor behaviour is a symptom of something else… Does your child make mornings really difficult by misbehaving, shouting or refusing to complete basic tasks like brush their teeth? Could this be because they’re anxious about school, worried about friendship issues, or even stressed about leaving you? If your child frequently causes problems within the household before school, or even before bed, we have some advice... Keep track of their behaviour. We suggest keeping a diary and filling it in daily with information such as key behaviours, words/language they have used, when the issue began (as soon as they woke up, eating breakfast etc.), any worries they may have mentioned throughout the day, how much sleep they are likely to have had etc. Keep the diary for around a month, then reflect on it and see if there are any obvious patterns. You can then try to address the issues yourself (if they are obvious), or reach out to your child’s school (if you think they may be able to help), and even your GP.

How to teach my child not to lie... “The truth may hurt for a little while, but a lie can hurt forever.” - Unknown
This week’s Friday Read’s recommendation is Princess K.I.M and the Lie That Grew’ by Maryann Cocca-Leffler Blurb: Kim wants the kids at her new school to like her, so she tells a teeny, tiny, bitty lie. She says her name is really "K.I.M."--for "Katherine Isabella Marguerite"--and that she comes from a royal family! Pretty soon all the students know there is a princess in the school. Kim wears her golden tiara from dance class and a big fancy ring she won at the arcade. Her little lie grows and grows. When a classmate invites her to a birthday party, Kim says she can't go because her grandmother is coming to visit. But she had told the kids her grandmother was a queen. Now they all want to meet the queen. Kim is in a real bind; her lie has grown too big and it's about ready to explode! Check it out here.
