Often, work takes precedence over everything else in our lives. Our desire to succeed professionally can push us to set aside our own well-being. Creating a harmonious work-life balance or work-life integration is critical, though, to improve not only our physical, emotional and mental well-being, but it's also important for our career.

In our homes, every child seeks care, respect, support and a voice. Through positive parenting, children can feel safe, valued and heard when sharing their opinions and complicated emotions – and grow up to be a happy and confident generation with fewer reservations about seeking mental health support. So as parents and duty bearers under the CRC, let's encourage children to observe and accept their feelings, use their voices in a constructive way and, as they grow and develop, to take on greater responsibility for decisions that affect them. With respect and support for one another, we can overcome generational conflicts and mental health challenges.

A mother is someone who protects and guides you in whatever you do. She does everything patiently with an affectionate understanding towards her kids. She is the most precious person on earth, who does her work with lots of tenderness. No matter how hectic the schedule, she is going through, she thinks for you only. Being a single parent can be difficult. But there are several single parenting advantages. Children in a single-parent family can be just as happy as those in a two-parent family. You can build a great relationship with your child and make them an independent individual.

When somebody asks, “how are you?” you may find yourself pausing. The pandemic has created a world in which we're not even sure of our feelings—let along what feelings to share.

While there's never a bad time to make a financial fresh start, it makes sense to rethink how you're managing your money at the start of a new year. Taking the time to manage your money better can really pay off. Learning to budget can help you stay on top of your bills and save £1,000s each year.Arguments about money hamper many marriages. When you consider that about a third of adults with partners report that money is a big source of conflict in their relationships, it's no wonder that financial problems are a leading cause of divorce.

Love is one of the most universal human experiences of all—yet it's still not easy to define. Often, you just know it when you feel it. A simple glance at the person may cause strong feelings of affection and attachment. You may also feel an overwhelming need to make that person happy—because love is also an action, not just a feeling. Truly loving someone means caring for them in the ways that they need to be cared for, with no strings attached. (That's why they call it unconditional love.) There's not a one-size-fits-all instruction kit for how to love someone.

Decisions, decisions! Our lives are full of them, from the small and mundane, such as what to wear or eat, to the life-changing, such as whether to get married and to whom, what job to take and how to bring up our children. We jealously guard our right to choose. It is central to our individuality: the very definition of free will. Yet sometimes we make bad decisions that leave us unhappy or full of regret. Making good decisions requires us to balance the seemingly antithetical forces of emotion and rationality. We must be able to predict the future, accurately perceive the present situation, have insight into the minds of others and deal with uncertainty.

Start by doing what's necessary, then what's possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible

When we engage in self-reflection, we're developing what is known as an inner witness. This is the ability to look at yourself—even your own thoughts and even what is beneath the thoughts and emotions—from a slight distance. It's almost like peering at your image in the mirror, except that the potential for self-reflection goes much deeper than your outer appearance.

Reflecting helps you to develop your skills and review their effectiveness, rather than just carry on doing things as you have always done them. It is about questioning, in a positive way, what you do and why you do it and then deciding whether there is a better, or more efficient, way of doing it in the future.
