Having spent the past eight years researching happiness worldwide, I began to notice that many of the people I met were so obsessed with the pursuit of happiness that they had become phobic of feeling sad. I’d speak to people who had just lost loved ones and they would ask: ‘How can I be happy?’ I’d meet people who’d recently been made redundant, or homeless, or had a bad breakup, who’d still ask: ‘Why aren’t I happy?’ I’d try to explain that, sometimes, we need to be sad. S...adness is what we’re supposed to feel after a loss, and sorrow is the sane response when sad things happen. After a year in which all of our lives have been rocked by a global pandemic, for instance, it’s OK to feel sad. But many of us have been conditioned to be so averse to ‘negative emotions’ that we don’t recognise them, much less acknowledge them or give ourselves permission to feel and process them. This can be isolating for those experiencing sadness and baffling for those trying to help loved ones through pain. https://www.theguardian.com//the-secret-to-happiness-get-b

Whether you are someone who struggles with depression (or anxiety), or a professional who supports those with these struggles (or perhaps both), I highly recommend this book! It challenges some of the old school thinking around supposed causes and 'solutions' and backs everything up with solid research. It may change the way you see yourself and your situation :).

There may never be a ‘perfect’ time, so just start

Happy Mother’s Day! No matter what your story
