8 Ways to Become a Morning Person and Reap the Benefits

8 Ways to Become a Morning Person and Reap the Benefits

Tammy George

We’ve heard it many times before; ‘successful people’ saying they are a morning person. They start their day right and manage to achieve in one day what takes the average person one week. But you don’t need to be a president or self-made millionaire to change the focus of your day from evening to early morning.

Why You Should NOT Try to Have a Good Day!

Why You Should NOT Try to Have a Good Day!

Dr. Happy
ByDr. Happy
21 February 2018
Throughout January, you probably heard and read a lot of people talking and writing about how to have a great year and that probably sounds like a pretty good idea. However, our very own mental health blogger, Dr Happy suggests "DON'T aim to have a great year...because a whole year of greatness, happiness and success is just not possible! Instead I suggest aiming for happy moments. At the end of the day (or week or year) it's likely a few things would have gone wrong. But it’s also extremely likely that some things, possibly many things, "went right"!" In his latest article for HIF, Dr. Happy shares his top tips on to look at your day.

Hospital Cover

No one wants to go to hospital, but if the worst happens, having Hospital cover can make a stressful experience easier and more comfortable. You may be thinking, “But why do I need private health insurance when we can have the public health system, Medicare?” Well, there’s a number of reasons why private hospital insurance is a better option than relying solely on the public system – one of the most important one being that your policy allows you to choose your own hospital and treating doctor. Plus, you’ll typically have a much shorter wait time for any elective surgeries that you may need in the future.
