You can quote us on that…
“Think about what wellbeing means to you. What’s the smallest thing that I can do that’s going to make the biggest difference?”
Dr Suzy Green
“It’s the goal-striving that leads to wellbeing, not the goal attainment. To work for things, not just get things, there’ll be greater levels of gratitude with that.”
Dr Suzy Green
“That capacity to self-regulate is a skill that can be learnt.”
