The Happiness Mindset

Toni Mackenzie, a therapist from Altrincham, has literally written the book on how to feel happy – here she explains why you should forget about new year’s resolutions and focus a little closer to home instead

As we enter 2020 many people will be making resolutions for a positive year ahead. Popular intentions are to lose weight, get fit, find a partner and make more money, but, ultimately, what we all want is to be happy. During my 21-years of experience, working with thousands of clients as a Transformational Therapist and Mindset Coach, it became clear to me that most people believe happiness is something they will find in the future – once they have the body, partner, job, money, or whatever it may be that they desire.
