*Congratulations to Lim Lim for being picked as the winner! Thanks to everyone who joined and stay tuned for more giveaways!*

{Book Giveaway} No matter how busy life gets, we always make time for bedtime reading. Yup, while the sisters can now read on their own or sometimes have no time to because of homework, this boy still likes stories and we make sure we keep up with this good habit. So even if I have to lay the baby down, carry him on my lap or pass him to the girls, we make it a point to read together every night.

It's been a while since we added a new book to our library so we are stoked to receive this from one of our favourite local authors, Emily Lim-Leh. Little Mimic's Superpower is the third book in the series, following Little Godwit Finds his Wings and Little Mole's Awesome Star. It is a story that celebrates uniqueness and encourages us to discover the different special qualities and talents in each of us.

For the younger ones, they are interested to learn more about the mimic octopus, a true master of disguise, and we love how each of the books in this series is inspired by a real animal and actual happenings. Swipe to see more of the colourful illustration and learn more about the characteristics of the mimic octopus.

Even my eldest girl said she likes this story as it celebrates individuality and reminds us that we all have our very own extraordinary strengths and gifts - even if we don't know what they are yet at this point in time. We just need to keep believing, keep exploring and keep learning.

Good news! I am now giving away two copies of this book to you so you can read to and encourage your kid too! To join,

1) Like A Happy Mum.

2) Like and share this post.

3) Tag 3 friends who love to read in your comment.

This giveaway ends on 20 Apr 2359hrs. One winner will be chosen from FB and the other from IG, so hop over for more chances to win. This giveaway is not endorsed by or affiliated with FB or IG. Good luck!

Most of the time, when you cry your heart out to others, the most they can advise you is "stay positive dear." Well, now what exactly stay positive means?

How do you even stay positive when all the emotions are compiling into massive energy and overwhelm you at the most unimaginable way?


1. Accept That "You Are Who You Are"

You are you. You can't change you and be what others are expecting out of you. If you are the person who likes to spend time all alone then don't take the extra initiative to change what you prefer.

Accept what you truly are. If you are clueless about you then study about your own self. Get to know you personally. When reading a novel makes you happy, nothing that others say is going to change your mind now. You know exactly why you are avoiding all the other plans and reading a novel now.

When you accept you as you are, nothing is going to kill the positivity that happens around you when you are doing your happy stuff. In fact, you will feel more confident and super positive as you know exactly why you're doing certain things in life.


2. Set A Goal To Reach

While you are surrounded by grey cloud, you would be able to see a path that leads you out of the grey cloud. Your Goal.

Yes, you would immediately be able to focus on your goal and ignore all the negativity around you. Focus on flourishing and enriching life.

If you are easily distracted, then make sure that each step, though it is a very small step brings you forward towards your goals.


3. Plan Your Day

Wake up to having plans each day. Don't wake up all lost and not knowing what to do. If can plan your day one day ahead. Have a list of things to do.

Wake up with the energy to accomplish things. If you feel like resting than rest well. No mood should make you feel weak. Have a reason to why you deserve the rest. If you feel low then distract yourself with another plan.

Meditate or something. Try downloading a new game on your phone. Try reading a new novel. Figure out what will keep you positive and active throughout the day. Plan it well.

4. Let go

Don't hold it anymore. Whatever that has been breaking you into pieces is now got to leave you. Sometimes, it is you who would have been holding on to it. Let it go.

Try living a life without that negativity and you will start noticing other unopened doors in life. Start to explore and discover other parts of life that you haven't figure yet.

Let the negativity go and start opening your eyes to all the positive things around you. Sometimes putting closure to your negativity will help you to move on fast. Do it.

Too many big dreams, too many failures, too many disappointments despite all the achievements in life will give us at least a little impact even if we don't put it into our head.

For me, all of these disappointments gives me huge anxiety. I am always worried about my future. I am always unhappy though I have too many great projects to work with.

These projects that I am working on are my achievements yet I am still thinking about the things that I didn't achieve and adding more anxiety in my life.

I couldn't figure things out. Why on earth I am feeling like this? Is it me or am I really a loser who achieved nothing in life?

I started reading a lot as usual so I can gain some insights about myself.

What I found gave me temporary relief and it created a path to the permanent solution.

Gratitude.

I was working with amazing brands like Loreal, Shopee and Guardian yet I was so dissatisfied. It is because I wasn't being grateful for what happened.

I wasn't thanking the moment that happened to me. I knew long ago that I was lacking empathy. Gratitude too? Perplexed.

Then I took a second to myself and thought, "what on earth is gratitude? How on earth I do it?"

Well, honestly I am still working on my gratitude skills. Yet, I feel so much better than before and so much confident than ever.

Especially with the recession that is happening, I need my confidence the most right now.



How to show gratitude?

Things will go wrong cause somehow life is full of ups and downs. Rather than complaining and feeling low, you can start seeing the positivity behind each problem.

Lost your job? Maybe, this is the time for you to explore yourself and get a better opportunity in life. Be grateful that it happened.

Quarantined and bored? Maybe, this is the time to start the blog you was always talking about *Learn how to start a blog with me (One to one online class). Hehehehe.

Maybe it is time to start your novel? Maybe its time to start the online business that you have always dreamed off.

All the things that have happened in your life, be thankful and show them your gratitude. Say thanks for each small help you're getting. Start looking at the other side of a coin and appreciate it.

Believe that everything happens for a good reason and God will never give a challenge that you can't handle.

Your perception about a lot of things will change and you will start having only good energy around when you start seeing everything with a grateful mind.

Remember creating a positive vibe is important. Showing gratitude makes you have so much positive energy within you and it gives you the courage to move on in life with great strength.
