Lessons to learn

After a difficult year, we can learn a few lessons from the Fijians:

We’ve had to sweat the big stuff, so don’t sweat the small stuff – humour is key, so embrace that bula spirit and find happiness wherever you can.

Savouring life’s small pleasures builds up your happiness over time – a beach, a sunset, serene vista, clear waters and don’t forget the beer or cocktail.

Live in the moment – stop dwelling on the past or worrying about the future.

Disconnect from the world if only for a few days – it recharges your brain, relaxes your nervous system and reconnects you to what’s meaningful in your life.

When we try new things in life and allow ourselves moments of fun, it expands our horizons and offers up a new way to see ourselves and the word. Fiji is full of adventure, whether it’s riding a wave at Cloudbreak, reeling in a big fish, diving among colourful coral or cheering on the Fijian rugby sevens team.
