IF YOU SCORED MAINLY
Connection
When your mood is dictated by your relationships, happiness can feel elusive if you don't have enough quality time with people you really connect with. You're a people person, so relationships will always be the centre of your life, but it's worth taking some time to reflect on your key connections, and the people you spend the most time with.
Sometimes, the people who care about us most can seem the least supportive of our plans, especially if they involve change or taking a leap. They may be convinced they have your best interests at heart, but often they are responding from a place of fear. It may be that you've outgrown some relationships, or simply need new energy in your life to feel inspired about the future, and confident it will bring new opportunities.
Start by thinking about what's missing from your existing connections are you looking for support from people who truly get you? Or is it about connecting at a deeper level with people you care about? Of course, you can't have connection without an element of conflict or challenge, but experiment with making honest communication more of a priority this year, and you may find your default happiness levels are set just a little bit higher.

Why do I feel SO SENSITIVE?
I've always been terrible at getting back to people when they communicate with me. Birthday cards? Who am I kidding. A few good friends send them to me, but given they never get one in return, the number is dwindling. Unless I can find the perfect words, a text stays unsent. And don’t even get me started on those two dreaded blue ticks...

HOW THE WILD helped me heal
The sun is warm on my arms as I tentatively step into the lake, the water a delicious cool around my ankles. I give a little shriek as I wade in, little by little, but I soon adjust to the temperature – and it's wonderful to glide through the water. There's the green of the surrounding trees and grass cradling around the lake, the sound of ducks quacking somewhere nearby. I swim gently, and say hello to fellow swimmers out enjoying the sun. It's amazing to me that this place is close to our home.

THE SIMPLE JOY OF DOING SOMETHING COMPLETELY PURPOSELESS on purpose
There is a particular feeling that arrives with the first genuinely warm Saturday of year.The window is open, the light has changed and something in the air smells faintly of possibility. And within minutes, sometimes seconds, the mental list begins. The garden needs sorting. You could finally start that thing you've been putting off since January. You could go for a run, or reorganise the kitchen.
