How I did it: To be honest, I didn't do anything to complete this goal. Not consciously - but subconsciously, maybe. I'm in that time in your life when things move on and you have to move on with it - and doing things like sabotaging your own happiness is a thing I didn't have time for anymore.

Most of all, I realised what made me happy. And made a decision to keep them and not be so irresponsible with any gambles that could make them disappear.

Lessons & tips:

• This will most likely come naturally for you with time.
• If you know that you're sabotaging your own happiness, look around you and see if your pain and love of pain is worth more than the people you care about and what else makes you happy.
• Stop beating yourself up and realise that it's not always your fault.

Resources:

• Lots of time to ponder and brood.
• The people who know you best.
• Comfort food.
• Mind-numbing television.
