A happy New Year to all my friends and Students
Well, the Newyear is rushing at us with the ferocity of a steam train, 2019 is going to be a very interesting year for many of us in the UK, the good thing for many of us that our own personal adventure the chapter has not been written, you are in control, as Viktor Frankl said in very dark times, "we can choose" never let anyone take away your ability to choose. Last year was not great for me, and for some of my friends, a similar story can be said for many of those on my network, but I choose to do my best to write my next chapter, better, with more passion, with more energy, with more thoughtfulness. I hope you choose to do something similar, I wrote a post early in the year regarding the mirror and whom we see in the reflection, well you can choose for the next year.
I hope all my network has a positive, fun-filled and healthy Newyear.

Laughter positively affects all aspects of being. Studies show that it is a legitimate and powerful form of preventive medicine, and a complementary option to other established therapeutic strategies for physiological, mental, and emotional health, and more. Physiological benefits: laughter is a therapeutic ally in healing and a valuable form of preventive and complementary medicine. It provides important natural defences against illness.
Mental benefits: laughter diffuses bad stress, enhances problem-solving skills, and creates a new perspective.
Emotional benefits: laughter elevates moods, counteracts depression symptoms. Social benefits: laughter fosters better communication, and improves cooperation and empathy between people. It is a significant lubricant of human communication and relationships.
Spiritual well-being: choosing to laugh and be positive teaches us to choose to live and be at peace with others, with our self and with our environment in our current situation. It helps us build resilience to stress and find meaning in life.
The essence is summarized in the following question: “What can I do now to improve my life/work/situation/company with a positive attitude?”
