Are you waking up each day with reasons to be cheerful or are you far more focused on the
things that get you down?
Here are ten potential reasons to be cheerful:
- Life – it is a gift – believe it! Today you have it but tomorrow may never come so immerse yourself in the opportunity of just being… here… now.
- Family – the joy of having time with those that care for you no matter what. They are there to cheer you on when you succeed, there to comfort you when things don’t turn out quite as you had hoped.
- Friends – the family you get to choose! They share your good times, listen in the rough times and help create moments of fun that become part of your history.
- Work – skills developed that allow you to provide a service to others whilst earning a wage. Acknowledge your skills and abilities and what they afford you to do; travel, buy your favourite books, eat, drink, put a roof over your head, buy clothes, and the list goes on…
- Goals – stepping-stones to where and how you want your life to be. They can motivate you, inspire you and drive you to go beyond the beliefs you have about your capabilities.
- Achievement – they all count! From the school days egg and spoon race to the award-winning business, all of your achievements are reasons to be cheerful… you made them happen!
- Well-Being – your body is your Ferrari (or whatever car you like)! It will look after you as long as you look after it and can provide you with streams of energy to do the things you dream of.
- Love – of people, of mother nature and of your world. There is no other energy quite like it and when you choose to share it and give it, you make a difference.
- Parenting – yes, your kids might drive you crazy but parenting can be a most fulfilling experience with many lessons learnt… patience just one!
- Learning – every day you have the opportunity to learn something new or to see a situation through someone else’s lens. So every day you have the potential for personal growth.
Maybe some of these reasons to be cheerful resonate with you, maybe not. So what is it that gives you reasons to be cheerful? I’d love to know!
Live Blissfully

A catalyst for change, Yvonne Bignall is a breath of fresh air in the extraordinary way she helps women 50+ to reconnect with life & their innate power through radical self-care, guilt-free!
She supports, encourages, and inspires women to prioritise their health, one bitesize action at a time. Her work is challenging as it navigates through difficult conversations, listening & observing how women’s health issues have been:
❊ Undermined
❊ Under-resourced &
❊ Swept under the carpet
She helps women to recognise & unpack old scripts that still (sadly enough) tell them that their value derives from their level of caregiving of others, their output. The truth is it is the input, the ability to resource self, which provides women with the energy required to realise their true potential.
Along with her team, she explores the thoughts, behaviour & habits, often born out of guilt, gender expectations, and reinforced narratives, with curiosity (not judgment), discarding the unhelpful, whilst reclaiming innate power through the creation of new patterns, restoring a sense of self, outside of societal expectations. In her opinion, this allows women to:
✔ Develop an elevated level of self-awareness
✔ Build / rebuild their confidence & self-belief
✔ Value all of who they are and invest time in who they want to be at their best
A self-care warrior, an encourager & inspirer, Yvonne is today an award-winning Women’s Health Advocate, Published Author, and an International Presenter. She is also a Radio Show Host and a Podcaster.
Yvonne is focused on building a community of women, www.PermissionToThrive.online, who are ready to reclaim their right to self-care, guilt-free, and who prioritise their health without apology, role-modeling behaviour & habits that inform generations to come of their true value.
She also advocates for self-care over burnout in the workplace, delivering practical webinars in the corporate space. In her own words, “It is time for employees to prioritise their wellbeing. How will they deliver their best work without it?”
One of her favourite quotes comes from Eleanor Brown, ‘Rest and self-care are so important. When you take time to replenish your spirit, it allows you to serve others from the overflow. You cannot serve from an empty vessel’
