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.
