“Meditation is an obvious tip to feel more mindful, but if you’ve tried this and it hasn’t worked for you, do not worry. We just launched THE HAPPINESS WORKOUT, which is a science-backed daily, multi-step tool aimed at millennials. Users are guided through a five-minute interactive ritual, and practice to relax, process thoughts, and engage in expert-led techniques to foster a little more “happiness” and a little less stress.”

Born and raised in England, POPPY JAMIE started her career while studying at the London School of Economics. It was while forging her media career that the modern pressures of life and social media ‘perfection’ began to compromise her happiness and left her feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and burnt out. In using her platform to discuss these issues, she received hundreds of messages from viewers sharing in her pressures, and in 2014, the idea of HAPPY NOT PERFECT was born. Poppy built her mental wellness ecosystem with the aim of empowering users to cultivate sustainable happiness and understand their mental health better.

Think about the situation as though you were an outsider who isn't involved. What would your partner, mother, best friend, or sibling say to you? We find it so easy to give other people advice, but when we find ourselves in an uncomfortable situation we often don't listen to ourselves. You know your strengths, what you have done to prepare, what you are capable of, and you often know exactly what has to be done. So don't second guess yourself and go for it with confidence!A recent STUDY found that the average person only spends around five percent of their day outside. Why not drink your morning coffee and go for a little stroll down the road or in a park, taking a moment to think about what you can see, smell, and taste? That daily connection to nature will help you feel more mindful and, at the same time, you will benefit from some extra vitamin D.”

5 WAYS TO STAY CONFIDENT UNDER PRESSURE

we can’t escape everyday stressors, like unexpected traffic on the way to work or waking up on the wrong side of the bed (literally!), we can control the way we handle these minor setbacks. It’s easy (and normal) to let the negative outweigh the positive (hello, millennial burnout), and quickly forget to appreciate the simple things in life.

Put your self-care higher on your priority list (if it’s not already), and practice to live in the moment; this will vastly improve your quality of life. Pause to be grateful. Acknowledge what satisfies you. Stop and smell the roses (seriously), or at the very least, look up from your phone long enough to see them. These habits are truly an art, but we encourage you to carve out the time. The new app, HAPPY NOT PERFECT, is an easy resource to kickstart your mindfulness routine. We tapped founder, POPPY JAMIE, for five small things everyone can do to live their best life.
