Are your attempts to introduce habits for happiness in your life thwarted by pesky excuses? Get ready to bust those excuses, take action and start by setting some goals.

Whether you think the timing is poor or you’re happy enough for now, there’s always a reason not to take action. The only perfect time to make change is now.

How to sort what’s urgent from what’s important — and to make your own happiness and wellbeing the top of your priority list. 

If something seems ‘too hard’, that might mean it’s worth doing. How to tackle those tough tasks, and the ones you’ve tried and failed at before.

Don’t fall into the tyranny of 'when'; I’ll be happy when...I’ve done this or achieved that. This episode focuses on happiness in the here and now, even when you feel limited by those around you.

Failure can seem like a road block to happiness, but in reality it’s just another excuse for not trying. Everyone can take action in their own lives, no matter how old, or how many times they’ve tried before.

No one is ‘born miserable’, and Dr Happy has the science to prove it. Even if you feel overwhelmed by faults or failings, you can still strive for happiness.

The world is out of control and happiness can seem frivolous and actions that get you closer to a happier life can fall to the bottom of the to-do list. But these actions should be top of the list - including sleep and rest.
