Imagine yourself five years from now. What advice would you give your current self for the year ahead?

• Trust your instincts.
• Make time for books, films, kissing, swimming, hand holding and sunset watching. Contrary to what some people might tell you, these things are priority. 
• Try to get better at sleeping. It's important and you really need to work on improving your skill set in this area. 
• Stop obsessing about circumstances outside of your control. Learn how to be better at letting things go. 
• Laugh more and stop taking yourself quite so seriously.
• Make time for play. 
• Complain less and be better at really acknowledging how lucky you are.
• There is no such thing as being too nice. Be mindful of kindness and how transformative small actions can be. 
• Wear bug spray when you are outside, unless you're in Iceland, Antarctica or Saskatchewan during the winter time. 
• Keep it light enough to travel.
