Look inside In The Moment magazine issue 24 – out now in the UK

In the latest issue of In The Moment, we're cultivating happiness and finding new ways to bring joy and gratitude into our lives.

Editor Kirstie Duhig says: "This month, we’re talking about happiness and how we can bring more moments of joy into all areas our lives: our relationships, our homes, our work and our down time.

"Happiness coach Samantha Clarke shares her 14-day challenge, setting a simple exercise each day to help you find a fresh perspective, say yes to the things and people that bring you joy, and spend less energy on those that don’t.

"'Where could you be kinder to yourself through the day?' Samantha asks. It’s a good place to start. So often we push ourselves too hard, judge ourselves too harshly and allow ourselves to be led or pressured into taking on more than we can handle. I know that saying ‘no’ is not something that comes particularly easily to me. I like to help. I like to feel capable. I like to feel I can face any challenge head on.

"And yet, I also know that left unchecked this mindset is a recipe for days spent rushing from one task to the next, missing out on those little moments in between that are often a source of joy – a coffee savoured, lunch shared in the sunshine, a few pages of a novel instead of another email sent.

"For me, being kinder to myself means remembering to pause and consider what really makes me glad and grateful, and being a bit more choosy about what I say ‘yes’ to. The me that goes a little bit slower – and yes, maybe achieves a little bit less – is definitely a happier version of myself."
