Healthy and Happy
Being happy isn’t just about which CDs you own, what colour your
hair is, which jeans you wear and where you hang out (although it
does help sometimes!). It’s about relationships, keeping fit, what
your ambitions are, what’s available to you and ‘being at one’ with
yourself.
If you have an opinion about what makes you happy and want to
let others know, add a comment and we will post your tips
here!
Here’s some useful links to sites that offer information and
advice that could help you to discover what makes you happy or get
the support you need:
