Caring for yourself is these areas is your first step to achieving external happiness.”
Connect with your community
“In the past 20-30 years, research has shown the key to longevity could be loving and feeling loved … It’s important to connect with like-minded people – whether it be through dance, music and even a chess club.
‘Join a club, walk down the street to the local RSL, or make the most of technology by picking up the phone or logging on to Skype to connect with friends and family,’ Tim advises.”
