One marvellous pick-me-up is keeping a Happy Box. This can radically boost feelings of positivity. It will instantly improve your mood. I am always on the look-out for things to go into our boxes.

Keeping a box containing photos of friends, family and pets, a playlist of favourite songs, books that you love, photos of your country, colouring books, a Thank You card, even. Personally, I'd be at my happiest on the beach with a cocktail.
