CHANGE YOUR MINDSET

1 Challenge the perceptions you make about someone’s enviable circumstances. Find out more, so that you don’t just make assumptions, and can look at the situation more realistically.

2 Ask yourself – honestly – if you really want to be on the other side of the fence. Would a radical change in, say, your career even suit you?

3 Draw up a list of what makes you happy – and then what doesn’t. Consider whether just changing a few things on the second list could make a big difference to your overall satisfaction with life.
